thinking about expanding

[wreckers603]

Hey Hey

Mike here,

Been in a couple times, played a couple games with Alby.  I have Cygnar, and am enjoying them so far.  Right now I have enough for a 15 point army, want to expand it slightly this week to a 25 pointer.

Models I have now are the basic box, so

Striker, Charger, Lancer, and Ironclad.  I also picked up a Journeyman to assist with those jacks.  Thinking about grabbing a Long Gunner Infantry and the officer support, and a Field Mechaniks unit.  Would bring me up to 25 points, and a tier 1 for Striker.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

From the games I've played against Cygnar, the unit I hate to see are the Arcane Tempest Gun Mages. They are an excellent unit for ranged damage, however they only have the 10"range, not the 14" that the Long Gunners have. They do have an ability that gives them snipe (+4 RAT) giving them a +11 to hit. They also have a higher defense of 15 compared to the gunner's 13. If I remember correctly, they are the same point cost.
So I think they're a really nice addition...which I will do my best to kill before they can kill me.
