    I like Ashlynn and Alexia together. Ashlynn can go for the additional spell protection sometimes that Alexia's Arcane Disjunction can afford.

    What point level are we talking about?

    Presuming 35 points, how about this:

    Ashlynn (-6)
    - Nomad (6)
    Amethyst Rose Gun Mages + UA (8)
    - Mule (8)
    Horgenhold Forge Guard x10 (8)
    Alexia (5)
    3 solos to taste (say, Madelyn Corbeau, Rhupert Carvolo and Ragman)

    Or you can stick with the list above and take out the Forge Guard (personally I wouldn't since I love my Forge Guard, but I'm still suggesting this) and replace them with Full Cylena and Nyss Hunters, with just 2 solos. The Nyss are a solid ranged and melee unit. They can pull double duty if you want something a little different than the Forge Guard.


    Khador may have been my first, but Mercs keep me coming back for more.

    ^^^ That is a perfectly acceptable list. the only trouble I see is what is fueling Alexia? She needs souls to raise more grunts in her list. The Arcane Tempest Gun mages could, but they are only 7 models.. and you don't want them dying.

    I agree, but at 25 i dont manage to find room for more....

    I always take Alexia with Ashlynn. Alexia's tools are just too valuable not to have.

    I combined both and dropped the ATGMs. This list has been highly effective - esp with Quickened Nyss and Tough Risen. I always feel like this is some sort of Fellowship of the Ring list.

    Ashlynn d'Elyse (*6pts)
    * Mangler (8pts)
    Alexia Ciannor & the Risen (Alexia and 9 Risen Grunts) (5pts)
    Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (Cylena and 9 Grunts) (10pts)
    Horgenhold Forge Guard (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)
    Lady Aiyana & Master Holt (4pts)
    Madelyn Corbeau (2pts)
    Ragman (2pts)
    Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord (2pts)

    Maddy can help boost Alexia's CMD range too, for undead. And the Ragman with Aiyana can help turn the Mangler into a death machine. Overall, this is my favorite list right now, though I'm considering that Maddy's 2pts might be better spent on something else... Gorman, di Bray, Lanyssa... probably Lanyssa in my next test run.

    I think forgeguards and Alexia are a really good idea to go with Ashlynn. But using the list above, that I think is really nice, much in line with what I plan to take, what would you add for a 50p list? I'm thinking about adding steelhead heavy cavalery to get that extra punch and mobility.

    If you're going to bring in SH Cavalry at 50 points, I would include Stannis Brocker (him and full cavalry = 15 points). I would replace the Forge guard with SH halbs for the synergy and that would leave you with another 2 points for yet one more solo of choice for flavouring (or remove 2 more solos and add a second unit of halbs).

    Just my two cents....
