    Default 25 points Shae, first steamroller

    So this is my first steam roller 25 points, and im having a list dilemma. I know i am taking Shae, but I am having trouble deciding on how to spend the last 4 points. Here is what I have now.

    Shae +(6)
    -Freebooter (6)
    10x pressgangers (6)
    6x seadog crew (7)
    -Mr. Walls
    First mate Hawk (1)
    Bosun Grogspar (1)
    Doc Killingsworth (1)
    Lord Joln Rock Bottom (1)
    Commodore cannon (4)

    Right now im waffling on what to add in to finish it. Its either going to be 6 more press gangers or Aiyana and Holt. On the one hand, shae loves infantry, and i have all the support solos for infantry, but on the other hand, this list is REALLY light on anti heavy armor. The cannon and the freebooter are both very good anti Jack, but i really feel like being able to boost attacks against one enemy jack could be REALLY helpful.


    so, press gangers or Aiyana and Holt?


    Thanks for any help!

    I think A&H is the better choice, for Harm, making attacks magic and a good shooting option to take out solos. I would guess you might get some suggestions to swap out the Freebooter for a Nomad, but I'll let others make that argument.

    Yeah, i saw that coming but, when you do out the math, the free booter can do more damage for less focus, and and as this is an alpha strike list, its pathetic armor is not really important. Also, the turbo booster works well with the alpha strike, and im not above throwing the cannon if i need to make a tricky shot.

    I'm a fan of pirate jacks, so I won't be trying to convince you otherwise. I think A&H can really help with adding some punch to Freebooter, too.

    I agree with DaveZee...

    Drop A&H in there. List looks solid, and very 'grab you by the face sack'.

    Thanks for the help. Yeah, i was leaning towards them because of their bonus against armor. Also, as this is my first steam roller, itll be nice to have less models to have to move in the time limit.
    Freebooter VS Nomad
    This is assuming charging, and against a knocked down target with armor 20 (average d6 roll is a 3.5)
    Freebooter: 14+14=28 14+10.5=25 for a total damage of 13
    Nomad : 17+10.5=28 14+7=21 for a total damage of 9

    There were several Canadians there... If you were talking with a guy holding 3 ferrets, then yes you did meet me...

    You could always drop the Press Gang to min and then add in some riflemen to the sea dogs for some longer ranged shots as you get up field.
