Tale of Some Armies

Well, it's been six months since I updated this thing so I figured I'd give this thing a whirl. The guys at my LGS (Hobbytown USA Plano, TX) have decided to do a Tale of Four Armies style event for the next rest of the year, or at least until October. The idea is to get a fully painted list and incorporate some of the new stuff coming out at the same time. So there you see most of the rules. Every two months we have to get stuff painted, and then up the point level. First Tier is 15, then 25, then 30 and then finally 50. I decided to run Cygnar and try to get some of it caught up painting-wise. My initial 15 point list looks like this:

pCaine -6
- Cyclone 9
Gunmages 6
- UA 2
Black 13th

Always liked Caine. Not for the teleport-all-over-the-field nonsense, but as good ranged support caster that can strike hard and fast with his army. I love the new model, probably more than the original and even rivaling one of my all time favorites, epic Caine. So that decided, I liked what the Cyclone offers, dropping templates that say “no” to engaging my Gunmages or two hand throwing stuff that need delaying/deading. The rest is obvious; I also wanted to get a chunk of gunmages finished just in case Caine's tier list is cool.

The list will suffer throughout the year against high armor. Caine does not run heavies very well (because he's a focus hog) and I won't have a true beatstick in the list. Moving up to Tier 2, I plan on putting a JMWC, eEiyris, Harlan Versh, and a Squire. Thats it. Probably should bring in some stormnouns or what not, but I want to go with a Reconnaissance theme in the list, so slow, hard hitting stuff doesn't look like it will work well. After that, i want to bring in Trencher Commandos and later Rangers as they booth fit the sneaky feel in the list. Will I get run over? Oh yes. A lot. Maybe every game. But I'll look good doing it!
