Hi all, this is another "Help! I'm starting warmachine and have no idea what to do!" thread.
I've been interested in the game for a long time, and the combination of the excellent series of articles here, and a growing disgruntlement with GW made me finally take the plunge. I really like both Cryx and Cygnar, and since I'm going to be the one pretty much introducing it to everyone i know, I decided to build a small force for each in order to demo and play it with friends, etc.
I went looking mainly for models I liked, but finances are a consideration, so I looked for and got some great deals on ebay. This is what I have coming, and I need to hammer out a couple of good lists in the 15-25 point range. I'm not against proxying, but I would like to limit it as much as possible, because for me, the models are a huge part of the appeal.
Cryx:
Warwitch Deneghra
Pirate Queen Skarre
Epic Skarre
2x Deathrippers
2x Defilers
Deathjack
Slayer
Cygnar
Capt. Allister Caine
Ironclad
Charger
Grenadier
Eiryss
So, for now its pretty much just casters and jacks. I have some WH models that could make good proxies for things like undead thralls and human troops.... it will look off, but its only temporary.
I'm open to any suggestions, but I'm not going to be spending any more money just yet, except to buy prime mk 2 when it comes out. What I'm looking for is 2 or 3 reasonably balanced forces that I can run small games with. I know Caine isn't a great beginning caster, but the model just looks way too awesome to pass up.
My preliminary thoughts were this, for running 15 point games, or a team game with these 3, plus a khador list my friend is putting together:
CYGNAR
Captain Allister Caine -5
Ironclad 7
Squire (proxied) 2
Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios 3
Journeyman Warcaster(proxied) 3
Charger 4
Stormsmith Stormcaller (proxied) 1
CRYX 1
Warwitch Deneghra -5
Deathripper 4
Deathripper 4
Defiler 5
Slayer 6
Machine Wraith(proxied) 1
CRYX 2
Skarre, Queen of the Black Coast -6
Deathjack 12
Defiler 5
Mechanithralls (proxied) 3
+Brute Thrall (proxied) 1
Thanks in advance!
