Journeyman Tourney with Cygnar

[wakkatakka]

Hello there folks, I have a Journeyman Tourney coming up at our local gaming, and I can't decide which faction to go to (Im consdering Menoth, Cygnar, Circle or Legion). I play Cryx and Skorne, so I thought I'd give these factions a go but anyway, Im really unsure with Cygnar with Journeyman, so has anyone experienced this is the Golden Swan?

I like the Cygnar Battle Box; Arm 26 Heavies tend to be difficult to deal with at a Battle Box level for all but a precious few factions, and the shooting support offered by the Charger is great at putting damage on lights or even simply popping an unwary Warcaster.
If you're looking for a powerhouse Battle Box, though, I think the Legion one is probably better (being 3 points more expensive helps as well). The one thing that Cygnar doesn't have is tricks; besides the ubiquitous Earthquake. On the other hand, Witch Mark, Blood Lure and a very good spell list make the Legion battle box extremely powerful.

Yea, you get quite a good deal with the Legion Battlebox, though, the thing that turns me off slightly with Legion is that a couple of folks are thinkng of going Legion as well, so I'd like a unique force amongs the club, but yea, the Cygnar one is good as well, though I hear pStryker is a bit lame if thats true?

I wouldn't call pStryker lame, per se, but he is definitely a straightforward 'caster. He buffs his army with spells, throws out an Earthquake once or twice a game, and has a great feat if used well, but other than that he doesn't do a whole lot all by himself.

Ye, sorry, not lame like he sucks, just straightforward.

I'm also going to be throwing up the Swan banner for the first time in our LGS's upcoming Journeymen League. Been playing Trolls for a little under a year now and wanted to get a small force to see how the other half lives.
