    Default first Fiona attempt 25 points

    So, 2 options, and i can't decide on the units, i know i wanted to take units that were self sufficient, but i couldn't narrow down these options

    Fiona the Black
    -Mariner
    deck gun
    alexia and the risen
    max Nyss hunters
    pEiryss
    kayazy eliminators



    Fiona the Black
    -Mariner
    sea dog deck gun
    alexia and the risen
    max steel head halberdiers
    aiyan and holt
    pEiryss
    kayazy eliminators

    I like Nyss, but i really feel like i need some models to help damage as i don't have much in the hard hitting department for that list. Im leaning towards to first list, mostly because i already own max Nyss and don't have any steel heads.
    Freebooter VS Nomad
    This is assuming charging, and against a knocked down target with armor 20 (average d6 roll is a 3.5)
    Freebooter: 14+14=28 14+10.5=25 for a total damage of 13
    Nomad : 17+10.5=28 14+7=21 for a total damage of 9

    Maybe swap the Deck Gun for Gorman in the Nyss list. Rust bombs still give ARM debuffs vs jacks, which usually tend to have more ARM than beasts, anyways.
    A full Nyss CRA is POW 22, and you have the option to deliver 10 individual shots on an afflicted target from range. I don't see anything with comparable hitting power in your second list. Its much harder to get 10 halberdiers to CMA than 10 Nyss to CRA. Even with reach, there is only so much place around a model, while Hunter and Nonokrion Mark make it really easy to target stuff before it gets into melee.

    You could also drop one of your 3-pts options and the Deck Gun for A&H and use the last point to upgrade the Mariner to Rocinante.

    I agree with TM there... Drop the deck gun. That 8th focus is fun, but not really necessary in my experiences with Fiona.

    Gorman, Saxon, or Kell would be a better fit.

    See, if even Magnus agrees with me, instead of hunting me down with wet noodles, I must be right.

    I generally don't take the deck gun (for the extra focus) until 50 points or so. It's just not that necessary, and I usually take Wyshnalyrr first.
