My gaming group is gonna start focusing on 50pts games the next couple of weeks. Rumor has it that the next tournamnet will be a 50pts Steamroller, and we all want to be more prepared the next time so we can do better. I'm pretty sure that my three "main casters" are gonna be Epic Haley, Epic Nemo and perhaps even Epic Caine.
This thursday we're gonna start with our practice, and I'm thinking about bringing forth Cygnars token black guy - Siege. I haven't really been playing him that much, but I know that he's a solid casters. Few, if even anything, can hide from him when It's time to assassinate. Last time I played him I did a huge rookie mistake and shot Beast 09 who used Hyper Aggresive to get within threat range of Siege and kill him. That won't be happening again.
I've been scouting the internet for some ideas for an upcoming 50pts list with him, and since I've been buying a lot of mercenaries lately this might just be the list that I'll try:
Points: 50/50
Major Markus 'Siege' Brisbane (*5pts)
* Defender (9pts)
* Stormwall (19pts)
* Squire (2pts)
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team (4pts)
Lady Aiyana & Master Holt (4pts)
Rangers (5pts)
Captain Arlan Strangewayes (2pts)
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution (3pts)
Gorman di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist (2pts)
Journeyman Warcaster (3pts)
Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator (1pts)
Stormsmith Stormcaller (1pts)
The plan is to use him both for attrition and assassnination. Guns and a lot of utility will hopefully help me pull that off. Ranges will keep in front and give "aim" to Siege while he uses Ground Pounder to clear units. A&H a long with Gorman can deal with any high ARM threat. And the Stormwall and Defender will hopefully inflinct enough damage to force my opponent to rush towards me.
Well the army might lack any form of regular unit or tarpit, but with the combination of all these solos, I don't think it'll be that hard to win. Only time will tell.
