I think you'll do better if you get a Journeyman in there. Stormblades will die in droves without some kind of protection. Maybe throw in a Hunter instead of the Defender, and chuck the Stormsmith.

Rhupert or Strangeways might be a better add than the squire too.

Don't take the cyclone at 35 save it for 50. Having about half your points tied up in all those low pow shots can really bite you at 35.
Kara doesn't need Arlan or squire for 1 or 2 jacks. I also feel that unless your using the MM Arlan brings a lot more to the table than the squire.

This would get you to my 35 point list
Drop the cyclone, 1 stormgunner, the squire, and the stormsimith to add Gorman (blocks LOS to Kara, Black oil and rust are winners), JR (AS is a must), Rhupert (Tough+Pathfinder), a Hunter for Kara.

Kara has enough focus to support the hunter, although an argument could be made that the thunderbolt+critical brutal rune shots every turn are more valuable than the feat generated shot and snipe shot is certainly better than fire group.

I played a game today with my original list and got a win. I realy like the cyclone but i see what you are saying about the squire not being worth it at 35pt with Kara compared to other solos.

The list i faced.

Kromac
Stalker
Stalker
Purblood
Stones
Wayfarer
Some medium base beat face solo.

I removed a stalker turn two with Kara and both jacks.

He charged the cyclone with the other stalker and left it with one arm.

I feated and the defender + kara + some gunmages removed the charging stalker. The cyclone removed a couple of solos and pushed back the pureblood to prevent it from getting to kara. Gotta love the metalstorm with runeshots.

Kromac went for a assaination on kara with a boosted rift + a boosted pureblood spray. Kara was on 2 focus so she survived.
Dead kromac.


New list with your sugestions in mind.

* Stormblade Infantry Officer & Standard (3pts)

If you don't have any/don't have the points for the support for Stormblades might wanna try Boomhowlers+Jonas, they are a bit more self sustaining. 4+ tough and get assault so on Kara's feat turn they can really destroy stuff, and take care of themselves. If you could get in Jr too they are arm 19 I think, don't have the card handy.
