25pts Rahn (vs Cygnar)

[WarmbloodedLizard]

I've never played against Cygnar and don't really know what list to take.

List 1 :
-------
Rahn
-Phoenix
MHSF(max) + UA
Battlemages
Magister
MHA
MHA

--> My preferred list. Quite a bit of destructive power to take out the enemy jacks, but not that great against stealth or infantry. I don't know whether the list is missing a melee unit. And cygnar does have quite a few things that ignore stealth, i think.


List 2:
------
Rahn
-Phoenix
MHSF(min) + UA
Halbs(max) + UA
Battlemages

--> more melee oriented and can deal with stealth and infantry better but lacks in synergy (knockdown/backstrike + MHA) and jack-killing ability.


List 3:
------
Rahn
-Phoenix
Halbs(max) + UA
Battlemages + Soulless
Magister
eEiryss
Arcanist

--> more utility oriented. lacks punch but that's ok as long a eiryss can disrupt jacks. but afraid that cygnar can easily kill eiryss.

Whould a Chimera be useful or is it not necessary? (I find it too expensive to be a throwaway arcnode but not strong enough to do much more than that.)

(I don't have any Sentinels)

3 is best. Definitely put soulless on Halbs though. Get a lot more mileage benefitting 12 models as opposed to 6. People go after battle Mages like crazy regardless of if they have a soulless or not.
