Lock and load advice

[Humeriousdiscord]

Although Cygnar was my first faction it has been about 4.5 years since I have dusted them off (I normally play Khador and trollbloods and no one in my meta has played Cygnar for some time) and with lock and load approaching I thought why not try them out for some Iron arena play. My goal is to go with only a fully painted force so I need some assistance making sure that I won't paint something that won't be work in the Iron arena. I think its a decent list but I would appreciate comments.

Faction: Cygnar
Casters: 1/1
Points: 35/35
Captain Allister Caine (*5pts)
* Stormclad (10pts)
* Squire (2pts)
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team (4pts)
Rangers (5pts)
Stormblade Infantry (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts)
* Stormblade Infantry Officer & Standard (3pts)
* 2 Stormblade Infantry Storm Gunner (2pts)
Journeyman Warcaster (3pts)
* Hunter (6pts)

Drop the two stormgunners for Rhupert. Def 15 vs. shooting and tough gives the stormblades some much needed staying power and lets you throw arcane sheild on the stormclad and it runs for free on approach.

Also Reinholdt. Hmm...

It's a solid list otherwise. Much more army and attrition focused as you don't have some of the tools eCaine needs, but I'm starting to think thats how you have to play as too many people are aware and afraid of eCaine's killing potential.

I was also thinking about dropping the stormblade UA for rune wood. Comments?

Don't drop the stormblade UA, that's the whole reason you bring them. Either bring Piper or Runewood, you won't need both. On second thought if you play me at LNL please take out the UA.

1) figure out a way to get reinholt in , change storm for olrowdy ? drop a gunner ? take out UA and add a piper and reinholt ?

try exchanging rangers and jr (8 points) for the ATGM+UA (8 points)
so you can marshal hunter to ATGM which i use it almost every list.
