It's a good all around list. The core elements are very similar to what I run. Although I don't run any Steelheads in my Damiano list. I've never even has any dealings with the Steelhead Cav because of their cost (in and out of game) although I've seen on paper what they are capable of doing.

The only observation I would make is Sylys. When running just one 'Jack on Damiano, especially one that usually stays back for the first few turns and uses it's cannon, I've noticed that I really didn't have much use for Sylys and the free upkeep. Might I suggest trying out other two points solos, such as Harlan or Ragman?

[PG_DaveZee]

I have played a very similar list as well, the only issue I had was having the forgeguard either get in the way of all the Stannis Brocker, move through each other, shenanigans or just be too slow to keep up. They are absolute crushers on feat turn tho.

[FearMeMortals]

It really sucks that Precursors can't be targeted by spells. Other than that pesky little fact they're made for Daminao.

You guys think boomies over forge guard?

[PG_DaveZee]

I think boomies are great to tarpit with, but I am reserving their spot with MacBain.

[MagnustheJust]

That's a rock solid list there Prohias. The only change I would consider would be going min Heavy Cav. and adding in Stannis.

As far as Forgeguard vs. Boomie & Co. ...

I say go with what you are more comfortable with on the table. Although, if you went with min Boomie, you could drop in the Piper or Harlan Versh...

Why Stannis? I don't have riflemen in the list.

Also, I already have Piper..

Considering Min Cavalry.. And Boomhowler swap too...

Not sure what else I'd put in. Maybe eAlexia...

[PG_DaveZee]

Stannis would allow your cav to assault charge right through your halbardiers and vice versa, and he is a good solid solo, too.

[Chopsworth]

I've enjoyed having EAlexia in my Damiano lists. Sure Foot makes her a real pain to take out, and with Damiano's feat I've pulled off more then one assassination with her alone.

This is the main reason you take Stannis. SHH+SHHC is are much more commonly used units than SHR

if you want a similar damage output than the forgeguard but better movement, you can consider the devil dogs. they are not as straightforward as the forgeguard but are very versatile
