    Swap the Nomad and the Mule. Pronto on the Mule is great, and you'll be wanting Energizer and Jackhammer more for the Nomad.

    You aren't really maximizing his feat turn with models like Gorman, Orin, Eiryss, Alexia, etc. Those models are a huge pain to your opponent when they can't be killed.

    Not really a fan of putting a jack on Sam either, especially a Nomad. Much better taking Gun Mages with a Mule.

    The Devil Dogs with a Mule works wonderfully. Sure you loose the rune shots, but you have more mobility via Pronto, also allowing you to get more range on the gun while having moved into position. Also, the Devil Dogs themselves aren't slouches, so if something comes in to tie down the Mule, hit it with a net and then go to town.

    I personally like a Buccaneer better on Sam - nearly guaranteed knock down for the DD's to go to town on.

    I've played against it. Meh. Gun Mages give the Mule almost equivalent range with Snipe and don't have to risk failing a command check.

    Plus you have Gun Mages in your list and not Devil Dogs.

    Different strokes, I'm sure. I like the Devil Dogs

    Just giving the other side of the argument; Devil Dogs work fine, and are a good alternative to the otherwise ubiquitous Gun Mages.

    Not to mention Sam & the DD's gets you four more bodies and a 'jack marshal for one point cheaper. Sometimes finding that one point is critical...
