    Default Who do you like to Tier with?

    Just wondering which tiers people like playing these days. I've been playing a lot of Constance Tier 4 myself. Waiting on more money until I can can play with Estryker's and Enemo's Tier 4.
    The arguement that X only worked because Y was a terrible player, or any form of this assertion, is never a valid point in forum discussion and should thus be ignored.

    I had a good look at the tiers a whent hey came out, and for my (5) casters, purchased what was needed to upgrade a few.

    I played Haley's tier 4 and wasn't too impressed. I don't have the rangers to get Kraye very far, or the models to boost eStryker to T4.

    pStrykers tier 4 seemed pretty solid, if a little lackluster.

    eNemo is the one I play most in tier, although without a second Firefly or any Stormguard I'm ususally playign T1. So I'm stuck with only swarms of epic cadre advance-deploying Stormcallers... and a list in which, amazingly, the Minuteman is swapped out for a Firefly.

    eNemo T1 is nice.... especially against people who haven't seen it much

    I've only played Stryker2 in tier, both in Mangled Metal and normal Steamrollers. It's pretty good, but has some bad matchups.

    I was listing all the tier's I've played and realized I've played them all. By far, the best has been eStryker Tier 4.

    The most fun was either Sloan Tier 4 or Haley Tier 4. People underestimate Long Gunners.

    I play Kraye T4 when I can borrow a unit of rangers from someone, but not for tournament play, it's not that great at board control.

    The biggest problem with our tiers is that you need 2 units of a specific unit to get very far in tiers. I don't have the $$ or even the desire to do that when non-tier lists are better in Cygnar.

    pHaley t4 is just mean spirited against some armies. Like "why would you do this to me?" mean.

    eNemo t4 is fun and surprises some people with it's speed.

    I'm not much fan of the others, what's lost doesn't usually offset what's gained, but if I played Kraye at all I might like his.

    eHaley Storm Bringers Tier4.
    Tried eNemo tier, is fun, but lack something i think.
    And yes tiers require 2 same units mostly, so that's not that good $$ wise.

    eNemo lacks something... It's called you need 2x Fireflies, which suck.

    In an eNemo tier list, with well over 3 Stormcallers and movement shenanigans, the Fireflies do pretty darn well. Otherwise, they're a bit disappointing.

    The duplicate unit/jacks was the thing that put me off buying to play tiers. I think I picked up another unit of LGs and another Lancer, which got me several tiers. But more than that I'm not really interested in spending for the theme forces.

    eStryker,
    eNemo,
    eHaley,
    Constance,
    Darius,
    Kray,

    When playing these guys I almost always bring out tier lists.

    The only one I can do model-wise is pCaine, I'd like to do Kraye but need another Ranger unit (not exactly hard, but I'm buying up some Khador right now). I tried eStryker's and it really wasn't my thing, I just can't run Stormblades effectively. Any theme list with Long Gunners is immediately in the "do not want" list, especially if it's 2 units (I really hate Tiers that are "take 2 of unit X" unless I already love the unit).

    The only problem with Fireflies is that we don't get 5 of them for 9 points like the Gator Posse, otherwise they're quite good (if a little expensive) in eNemo's tiers.

    I've got the models for Darius T4 and eNemo T2 already, so those are the two I've played most. But I recently bought extra Leader and grunt models for LGs, PKs, and SGs so I can play a couple more T4 lists by turning my max single units into two min units. eNemo Tier 4 is the only one I'm excited about, though.

    eMagnus Bad Seeds.... what do you mean it doesn't count?

    I'm going to try eCaine's The Hunstman this week at T3. Though I don't really have high hopes for it.
