After considering the results of the previous discussion the general board, I think the best ideas are as follows:
1) Give warmachine factions that aren't Menoth roughly the same amount of infantry-based jack support (although obviously different in flavor), much as all of the factions have some way to repair. An example of a jack support ability found outside of Menoth right now is Power Booster.
2) Improve Jack Marshals to the point where taking the warjack out of the battlegroup isn't so incredibly crippling. An example would be allowing them to use their marshal bonus for a power attack. This might necessitate rebalancing a couple corner case Jack Marshals, most notably Thor Steinhammer, or perhaps not.
3) Grant warjacks synergy bonuses with each other when fielded in large numbers. For example, 3 or more destroyers with LOS to the same target might receive +1 RAT. As with animi, this would be warjack-specific and listed on its card.
These ideas could be mixed and matched as necessary - all three together could easily be completely overpowered, which is not the goal at all.
