Bartolo 35 point list

[Captgrizz]

Still getting used to this game, but I was wondering about ideas on the following list. I definatly want to run bart and jacks and this seemed like a decent build.

Captain Bartolo Montador
* Mariner
* Mariner
Press Gangers (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Press Gangers (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Sea Dog Deck Gun
Sea Dog Deck Gun
Sea Dog Deck Gun
Sea Dog Deck Gun
Dirty Meg
Doc Killingsworth
Master Gunner Dougal MacNaile

Am I missing something or are Deck Guns really FA:4?


Also, just posting up a list and not really explaining yourself much may be why you aren't getting much of a response. What are your goals with this list? Is there a reason you have 2 units of Press Gangers? Are you just wanting to run a Talion list or are you willing to branch out into other contracts?

I ran a similar list to that one. Its T4 at 35 points.

Bart
Mariner
Mariner
Mariner
Buccaneer
Sea Dogs (Min)
Sea Dogs (Min)
Deck Gun
Deck Gun
Dougal
Meg

Decks Guns FA goes up by two for the 2 Press Ganger units.

Ah, would have been nice to know earlier. Is it part of the theme list, or something I'm not remembering about the gun itself?

[Captgrizz]

It's both. The master gunner ups it by 1 and Barts theme force ups it by 1 for every ganger/dogs unit. After talking to some people in the know about it saturday, they all recommended something like what Naz suggested with the 3 mariners. Im planning to use doc instead of meg though. I like the cannons and if I ever move the army up in points I want to run as many cannons as able, capping it at 6 most likely. I don't know what you mean by goals, but I want to run pirates with lots of the pirate jacks and bart seems the best one to run heavies(-1 to mariners).

By goals, I'm talking about, are you running a gunline list, one that's built for attrition, an assassination list, etc. The more models you run that are similar to the deck guns means more and more models that are not moving much and not able to contest points in the middle of the board. If you are just building this list for fun and not competetive play, then go for it, there are just lots of factors that many of us think about, especially when tournaments are involved.
