e-stryker 25p storm list

[Faerun]

Hey everyone,

I'm going to have my first game of warmachine coming wednesday. I was hoping to go with a fun list. It doesn't have to be ubercompetitive, it's more for fun and learning the ropes.



Lord Commander Stryker -6
Ol' Rowdy 9
Stormclad 10
Storm Lances (Leader and 2 Grunts) 7
Stormblade Infantry (Leader and 5 Grunts) 5
_______________________________________
25 points exactly

What do you think? Comments are appreciated. I never see anyone mentioning storm lances in their lists, but I really want to try them out, what do you think of them? I am facing hordes btw. Probably trollbloods and legion, but I don't necessarily want to adjust my list against them, but of course I'm not going to take stuff that relies on disruption like stormsmiths.

Thanks a lot, and cheers!

Storm lances can still hit hard, as hard as stormblades. Most of the gripe over them is that they had 8 damage boxes in mk1, and now only have 5. I think they could work well ahead of your army, or on a flank, but they're awful expensive for a 25 point list, where you might want that extra focus from a squire instead, or something along those lines.

If you had a choice, I'd likely drop the lances (I do own and use them, just not at this low of a game), add a squire(3 focus for velocity for 6", 9" charge, 2" reach means getting there with 4 focus in optimal conditions. 17" threat range. Overloading with the charge attack follows as "1 fully boosted charge attack, 1 bought attack boosted to hit, save last focus, feat, boost to hit on feat turn for pow 15." assuming you need that last one to hit more than you need the stupid damage, that is.

After the squire, with your 5 points left, I'd say something like the 13th and a stormsmith, or whatever you fancy. Maybe the stormblade ua if you're feelin saucy. Or junior.
