Siege Reasurgence Lists

[Crusader85]

This up coming weekend I will be attending a modified LGS Reasurgence event. I am planning on running Siege as my warcaster. I partcipated in a play test event yesterday where we ran all the lists in a tournament format with scenrio being run this Saturday. The scenerio is the same for all three games, control points. Here are the lists I am planning on running:

25pts

Markus "Siege" Brisbane +5
Defender 9
Squire 2
Reinholdt 1
10 Long Gunners 10
3 Storm Lances 7
1 Stormsmith 1

35pts

Markus "Siege" Brisbane +5
Defender 9
Squire 2
Reinholdt 1
Journyman 3
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution 3
10 Long Gunners 10
UA 2
3 Storm Lances 7
3 Stormsmiths 3

50pts
Markus "Siege" Brisbane +5
Defender 9
Cyclon 9
Squire 2
Reinholdt 1
Journyman 3
Hunter 6
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution 3
10 Long Gunners 10
UA 2
3 Storm Lances 7
3 Stormsmiths 3

The one thing I found with the list I was running was that I could really only ever get the points for my deployment zone due to the gunline nature of my list. I was running Stormblades as a counter attack unit but I kept getting beat by scenerio every game. I have swaped the Blades for the the Storm Lances to hopefully resolve that issue by throwing AS on them from the Journyman and running them up the board to hold the objectives while my apponent gets blown apart as they walk across the field, standard Cygnar gunline tactic :). Please let me know what you guys think of the change and if there is anything else I might be able to add or remove to help claim objectives.

Your second list is 30 points, is that the format of the event? Also I'd take the B13th over the Long Gunners, because against incorporeal you only have Explosvio and Stormsith.

My thoughts for the 25 point list:

Drop: Long Gunners

Add: Charger, B13s, and 2 more Stormsmiths.

Or you could take Gunmages and B13s. Gun Mages have pushback which could be useful.

Or... You could drop the Lancers for a Hammersmith or Centurion, with a little bit of tweaking.

The second round is 35pts that was just a typo on my part. I am actually good with the Long Gunners, I have had a lot of success with them with the Magesight being on them. My big problem is taking and contesting objects long enough for me to get the caster kill. I can only really work with models I have as it is a week away and i don't have the funds to buy a brand new unit.

These are the models I have to work with.

ATGM + UA
GMCA
Min Sword Knights + UA
10 Stormguard
Stormblades + UA
10 Forge Guard
Hammersmith
Centurion
Stormclad
'Ol Rowdy
Ironclad
Lancer
Sentinal
Arlan
Piper of Ord
Gorman

I do have the B13 but the problem is that I just got them and when I opened it it had Lynch and 2 Ryans but no Watts so I need to call Privateer and have that fixed but I don't believe Watts will get here in time.

Mage Sight can't be used on the Long Gunners. Siege's spell only affects himself and battlegroup (i.e. jacks).

I think that most people won't mind if you run you B13th the way they are just put something on one of the Ryans to indicate that it's Watt's. It's not like you haven't paid for them or are trying to pull something like running 3 GMCAs as subsititutes or something.

So if you want to include them go ahead but have a back up just in case.
