I've been playing with Constance on and off for a while now and I rather like her. She's a change of pace from other Cygnar casters (for me) in that I comfortably camp focus and march her and the army up the table. In general due to her slightly more resilient stats this has worked out quite well. Below is my current 35pt list and the 50pt expansion I intend to play (when I can coax my regular opponents to play 50pts again). Most of the elements in the 50pt list have also been used in past incarnations of the 35pt list.

35pts


Constance Blaize
Gallant

Full unit of sword knights with UA
Marshalled firefly
Min unit of mechaniks

Journeyman warcaster

Harlen Versh

Stormstrider


50pts

Constance Blaize
Gallant

Stormblades with UA and 1 Stormgunner
Full unit of sword knights with UA
Marshalled firefly
Min unit of mechaniks

Journeyman warcaster
Alain Runewood
2x Stormsmith stormcallers
Harlen Versh
Victor Pendrake
Lanyssa Ryssyl

Stormstrider

The 35pt list has been pretty fun and most recently has been facing pIrusk lists. I hate inhospitable ground now with a degree of malice but overall it's not been quite so bad thanks to Runewood and the stormstrider giving me something to do at range.

I really like the stormstrider, it shares almost no synergies with Constance besides being a good model to hide some of my squisher solos around and something that people will only ever attack when they think they can kill it that turn. What it does bring is a very potent ranged attack that equally happy culling infantry or blasting damage onto enemy jacks. At 35pts it's been very much a lone piece and my opponents have virtually ignored it in preference to giving me any tokens to boost with and so that can better concentrate on the rest of the army. The last game did see a berserker scare legs off it when the charge attack did 16 points of damage which was enough for my opponent to sudden try very hard to finish it off. (Thankfully he failed and it went on to destroy his fuel cache, kill Alexia, 2 of the great bears and take a few wounds off Irusk!)

However, although I've been rather enjoying these units with Constance I would like to hear opinions about it and suggestions for changes, particularly the 50pt list.
