She is amazing for Cygnar on so many levels.

Oh right, the Nyss solo. Yeah she is good. I would probably run her with pNemo for an additional spell slinger. I wish she had stealth instead of prowl though. Hunters mark could make for some interesting and unexpected charges.

She really is. I fielded her to great effect in a tournament last week. She basically acts like Old School Piper. You tag that enemy Warjack with Hunter's Mark, then the Stormblades/Guard charge it at +2 distance.
When not doing such things, she's a RAT7 Handcannon with crit stationary.

Actually she is becoming great friends with Darius, eStryker and eCaine.
Gives Darius a movement alteration back, gives caine 26" threat range and lets you get a little more movement out of eStryker in the right circumstances.

you need to hit.... shes good for some warjacks but not for assasination runs.
All in all shes ok for me. Not that great but ok.

Am I missing something or can you cast Hunter's Mark on a friendly model and still get the +2" movement on a charge? If so that is pretty huge and makes her an autoinclude in my eStryker and eCaine lists.
gives caine 26" threat range
Where does the last 2" come from? This is highly relevant to my interests :)

Extra 2" comes from the new model from gencon, the "Madame." During upkeep if an enemy model is within her cmd you get to move a friendly model in her cmd.
No you can't cast Hunters Mark on friendly models, but it is still an awesome model for Cygnar.
I think Lanyssa Ryssyl is the model that one guy on your podcast needs to recognize.
He was saying Ret needed something like the hierophant or squire; I think her abilities would help Ret a lot.
Nice podcast btw.
Haven't really looked at her in terms of Cygnar, though. Don't we have cooler things to spend 2 points on (Arlan, Gorman, etc.)?

If you're running any melee anti-heavy, take Lanyssa. The extra 2" and free charges is so very worth it.

Are you certain about this? I can't seem to find yay or nay in the rules.

Enemy model is only mentioned in the second sentence where it talk about a free charge. The part about +2" movement in the next sentence only mentions model. I posted a question in the rules forum so hopefully a kind infernal will clear it up.

Exactly my point, as Arlaharen so stated it.
Its a really really beardy rules lawyering interpretation, but that's the way this game was played in mk1 (exhibit A will be waterfalling).
I don't even have the model, but I like to be prepared for the arguments that errupt in my group between the written rules and the "spirit"/intent of the rules.
