    I like your "to buy" list. Looks pretty good. I'd consider getting a Basher/2 gunbunnies for Thor, even if you don't want to get any of the Rhulic casters. Other than that, the only thing you're missing is Galleon
    I need to fix it!
    If you're having Cryx troubles, I feel bad for you, son. I got 99 problems, but a Lich ain't one!
    The world is a mess, and I just need to rule it.

    Shae comes down to 1 simple question, Do you Want Dougal, I you said no, then his tier basically builds itself. If you said yes, Then make use of the man and throw aoe's like they were going out of style!
    Fiona Is the only one who really has flexibility, she is mostly a Unit girl, but she is a pretty damn good Jack of all trades kinda caster, Really the only caster you can mess up is Broadside, and that's really only because he's a major league Warjack caster and only gives his Units access to his feet, which isn't a whole lot. I'd say, Make Fiona all unit heavy, Broadside Jack heavy, And Shea Mixed arms. you almost can't go wrong no matter how you slice it.

    Great collection and buy list. I don't really have anything to add. With those new Warcasters you can go a ton of directions as far as competitive lists are concerned. It may be best to figure out one warcaster you really want to play competitively and then choose the second based on dealing with the firsts bad match ups.

    Rorsch and Brine. So much fun, and quite effective, too.

    Also thanks for posting I already owned the shae list which is why I decided to get into mercs, because I know shae is good just in general.

    Elich players trying to call foul is probably my favorite thing of all time

    you need nomads to have a shae list though.

    also you are one to tell someone to stop trolling

    You won to dice down when I started my turn getting ready to kill your 4 heavies that collectively had less than 20 HPs. That's all I'm saying.
    :P

    Then again you're always right, my choice of army makes me unable to call foul. Next time I guess I will play cygnar so I can cry without repercussions. :P

    The way i recall it is you left me to win the scenario because you were unable to take me off my game plan of winning the scenario. I captured your flag, i win.

    And yeah playing elich and crying is priceless. I didn't say cryx.

    So not that it matters but what actually happened is you won on dice down with shae, hawk, 3 sea dogs. Meg and 4 jacks alive. The 4 jacks had a total combined health of 19 hps and I failed to hit with banes from my feat 3 times on them. I started my turn ready to kill 2 with asphyxious and the other with what I had left and I lost because yourr jacks were in the zone 36 pts to 32.

    And I was not crying, you won the game on a technicality, but you won either way. Im not denying that.

    And to get back on topic I got into mercs because I already owned all the pirates and other things that work for cryx. At this point im just trying to make it so probably come WMW I can play some mercs.

    You have very interesting selective memory, i had 2 nomads (which is 4 heavies worth of jack i grant you) and neither being alive had any effect on the game outcome whatsoever, as i pointed out the second the game was over. mat 6 does pretty often miss defense 13 and 15 light jacks.

    I wish you luck on your merc endeavor however

    Good day sir

    Like I already said it doesn't make a difference at this point. You won the game and I never said you didn't. in the end I was being sarcastic and you took it otherwise.

    Edit: sorry if I felt like "remember that time I beat you" was trolling.
