Hard choice
I'm kinda at a crossroad. I feel my Cygnar force is almost where I want it to be. I got the casters I want. I got the Warjacks I want. I almost got every solo I need (except Eiryss and A&H). But what I really need is one more unit.
I currently own 3 units. The ATGM, which are just a solid unit that will fit in almost any list. I got the Boomhowlers who is a perfect tarpit unit. And then I got the Stormblades, who I really like, but haven't really preformed lately. I feel like a need an option to the Stormnouns. I've been thinking about the Stormguards, but they feel too similar. The Swordknights only have real synergy with eStryker and Warjacks with reach.
The two units I'm currently looking at are the Precursor Knights and the Horgehold Forge Guards. What I want is a unit that can both take a few hits and can hit back with force. Both the Knights and the Guards kinda fill that role, but I don't want to invest in both these units... one will have to do it.
Precursor bring Shield Wall, Spell Ward and Blessed Weapon, and with the help of their UA they get a "mini-feat" which give them an additional die in melee for one turn. With eStryker it's possible to charge and get 4 dices of damage, and then 3 dices on the feat activation. And with Rhupert in the list he can give them though and pathfinder if needed.
Forge Guards are Weapon Masters with Reach. And if you throw in Murdoch with them you can even benefit from the Ranked Attacks with the rest of your army. Something that I do want when I'm playing with Haley. With the help of Boomhowlers I don't think it'll be that hard to use them as a "second wave" to punish the enemy.
It's a hard choice
