    Default Help in picking my next buy

    I need help in picking my next buy for mercs. I currently own
    Ashlynn
    Damino
    Rocinante
    Mule
    Vanguard
    Anastasia
    Sylys
    Gorman
    Taryan
    Rutger
    Rhupert

    I am looking to buy a few things from the list below. I would like to stick with the casters I own but will more then likely be picking up MacBain at some point as well. I currently am just getting into Mercs and would like to stick to the Highborn contract.


    Nomad
    Forge Guard
    ATGM
    ATGM UA
    Boomhowler Max Unit
    Harlan
    Lady+Holt
    Cylena+nyss Max Unit
    Talon
    Steelheads (not sure just getting steelheads)

    I really don't enjoy these threads but I have been toying with this for the last three weeks. Any feedback is much welcomed.
    Thanks

    Pretty much everything on your list there would be a rock solid purchase.

    Just go with the one that strikes your "Oooohh!! Shiiiinnneeeeyyyy!!!" syndrome and run with it!!

    And for the record, Steelheads are much better on the battlefield than they look in the book...

    Just how much better, Magnus? I'm also thinking of going with Steelheads to augment my Ashlynn force.

    In my personal experiences, and on a scale of 1 - 10, I'd say about a 23.

    Steelheads are great, but with Ashlynn, Forgeguard and Gun Mages + Dude should be a higher priority choice.

    For the OP, Damiano and Ashlynn both support Forgeguard and Gun Mages really well. But Damiano does boost the Steelhead Cavalry from good to awesome, and Ashlynn's no slouch with them either.

    Given you only have 3 Jacks, you might want to remedy that soon after you get a couple of units up and running. Two Nomads and a second Mule are pretty much a must have. If you want to magnetise 2 kits, that'll give you the best diversity (also adding Rovers to the mix).

    Aiyanna&Holt and a nomad are the models you listed that I take in literally every list.

    I'm just going to echo that Aiyana and Holt are amazing on the field. Also, why don't you have a nomad yet? Get thee three!

    23 on a scale of 10 sure sounds enticing. Which is better with Ashlynn, Alexia or Steelheads? I really want to branch out to Don Quixote also, but later. General Awesome is enticing too. Augh Mercs! You're too good!

    I'd say Nomad. Dirt cheap, effective, no bells and whistles. You need at least one, two is better.
