T3 50 pt EStryker

[RvBCaboose]

I started playing Warmachine with Cygnar back in 04. I am now primarily a circle player however the EStryker Tiers looked like a lot of fun. So here it is

EStryker
Ol' Rowdy
Stormclad
Lancer
Squire

2 Units of SB with UA

2x Min Stormlance Units

If i added right it is exactly 50 pts and will hit like a truck. I dabbled with the idea of having the Blades Marshal the SC, but without Arlan on the field he's only getting one focus per turn and one boost/charge/extra attack/whatever. He will be rolling with the blades and will be positively charged when needed.

I dont really know what to do with Rowdy nor do I know if he is really even worth the points or if I should just take the second SC and make it a Tier 4 list.

I also plan on having the Stormlances as my first wave, followed by the Blades and then the Jacks. Its high expensive and specialized but on paper it looks good. The only thing that really bothers me is I have no Arcane shield, so my blades are kinda squishy.

Let me know what you guys think.

I think you're two points over, I'd swap the lancer for 4 stormblade gunners (I've been proxying them and so far think they're awesome) to get you down to 50. Rowdy is awesome and very focus efficient, but I've been playing the 35 point version of this with 2 stormclads and they are great (plus the extra two inches means your SB can shoot 31" into the board on turn one or melee 30" on turn one (with feat).

but yeah, his tiers are a lot of fun, but mostly because he's a lot of fun.
