Got my Storm Strider painted for this weekends 50 points tournament. I'm still not 100% sure on which lists I should bring. I've been play testing with Kara Sloan, pHaley, eHaley and eNemo. Stormwall is almost auto-include in any list. But I want to field my latest toy - the Storm Strider. And I also have a unit of Tempest Blazers that I want to play with.
My biggest problem is to build 2 lists that compliment each other. I think a Tier 1 with eNemo could handle any beast/jack heavy list, and it's pretty straight forward and don't "require" that much. Basically you just need to get into position, cast Energizer and the upkeeps of you choice, pop the feat and let the Jacks to the work.
I've had some problem with eNemo against infantry heavy lists, so I've been thinking of something to handle that. My pHaley lists with both a Stormwall and a Storm Strider have proven solid before, and is probably the list I'll choose. But recently I saw a list on PP's forum with eHaley that looked like this:
Points: 50/50
Major Victoria Haley (*5pts)
* Lancer (6pts)
* Stormwall (19pts)
* Squire (2pts)
Storm Strider (9pts)
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team (4pts)
Tempest Blazers (Leader and 4 Grunts) (10pts)
Captain Arlan Strangewayes (2pts)
Journeyman Warcaster (3pts)
The idea is to but Arcane Shield on the Blazers and cast Deceleration giving them 17/18 against shooting. They run forward and shoot stuff dead, and don't give the opponent a chance to counter charge. Use the Lancer to cast Telekinesis when the opportunity arrives, or just give Dead Eye to the Blazers. The Stormwall and Strider is the main force. Advance with the Stormwall and keep the Strider slightly behind it. Arlan keeps behind them to repair if needed or spray something in melee.
