This is what I have so far:

Magnus the Traitor66
Renegade6
Renegade6
Mangler8
Nomad6
Idrian Skirmishers (Leader and 5 Grunts)106
Idrian Skirmishers Chieftain & Guide3
Gorman di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemis or Kell Bailoch

(Got Idrian Skirmishers because they looked cool lol Swords in the air in one hand and guns on the other hand)

and not sure what to add for the last 4pts. Maybe more Skirmishers? Felt like I should have gotten the Steelheads instead of the Skirmishers...hmmm

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any feedback.

Hey, I'm new to the game too. I was wondering where you got the MKII rules for the Mercs?

Also, I agree, the Idrian skirmishers are SO cool.

oh, I don't the think the MK2 rule book for Mercs came out yet but I got my info from Battlecollege and other sites about the Magnus Agenda. Think it comes out in June.

Ah, many thanks. I'm thinking of starting a Merc army in MKII, and converting the Grind jacks into Merc ones.

lol I was hoping to get suggestions from experienced players but if anyone plays this list, can you give me a battle report of how well this noob army list is.

Heya Phil, welcome to Mercs!

I'm a longtime fan of Magnus, and MKI Mags is badder than ever. You've got my standard loadout for jacks that I traditionally use, though I sometimes drop the second renegade and nomad for a Mule (Free snipe on Mule = yummy).

Can't help you much with the Skirmishers, as I've never used them due to not liking their asthetics or style. However, if you have any questions about Steelheads, let me know. :)

Ok i am not a merc player, but I think you might be able to address both your issues at once by adding a minimum unit of steelheads which i believe are 4pts.

I do play Protectorate (of Menoth) and I can say that I like the indrians. Choose your prey target correctly and they hit like a ton of bricks. I envy Magnus' ability to put snipe on them
