Well, I've flipped through Superiority, and now I want to do two different themed armies:
Frontline army:
Trenchers
Officers/snipers
Chaingun
Capt. Finn
Grenadier jacks
Capt. Haley
or
Knights army:
Sword Knights
Stormguard
Stormblades
Stormlances
Stormclad Jack
Comm. Stryker
Which should I collect first, based on the other Cygnar armies in the club already? Variation is a good thing...

Just to warn you, most people think the knight units are too fragile for their point costs.

Which knights? The foot or mounted?

I had actually just thrown up a thread about the mounted knights on the PP forums. If you see some of the math people posted in response if you throw an arcane shield on them from a Journeyman Warcaster it's actually a lot more hardy than a warjack at 93 points.
The knights army looks reaaaaaaly cool though. So far I have my 'jack' Cygnar army and my 'infantry' disruption cygnar army.

As i have not played much, from what I know of cygnar, their shooting side rocks...thus why i took long gunners...in a full 10 squad. I will be playing a battle with them on thursday hopefully. Plus my Merc jacks kick ass :-P.
Cygnar are nice, and I think the Knight Army would look tight with the right paint job. Plus with the spell Vic mentioned would make them more worth it than jacks...plus I would assume they move faster right? kinda like Adam's Centaur dudes.

I meant the infantry. The stormknights look pretty good on paper. They're the only calvalry with a strong attack that they can use even on the turns after they charge.

Alright, here's a new idea:
Stryker
Lancer
Ironclad
Defender
10 Stormguard
10 Stormguard
That's at 581. The stormguard can scythe through infantry, leaving the jacks and stryker to deal with enemy jacks. Seem strong?

It warms the cockles of my heart to see someone playing Stryker. Defenders are awesome too. I have one I don't really use, ever, if you wanted to get it from me? (I always end up taking the Ironclad instead).
A power 14 range attack boosted is pretty vicious against a jack.

Yea, I think I'd like to acquire it. Cheaper models make me happy!

Right now it just has my own mixed up "Cygnar Blue" airbrushed onto the main body with my "Canadian Voodoo Gray" as a secondary color. Both are enamel so you could strip it fairly cleanly I'd imagine. I'll show it to you at the meeting on Thursday and you can let me know what you think. |

we shall see how my calvary perform this thursday...not sure if they'll work well in a 500 point game but who knows On paper, I am convinced 150 points of cavalry is better than 100 points of jack and a half unit of troopers. I think you have to put an Arcane Shield on them, but using them on the charge is going to be vicious. |

Well, here's a new idea. See, I'm making these ideas before I buy because I'm definitely not putting as much money into this game as other ones, and I want to be strong. Like bull.
Caine or Haley
10-20 Long gunners
3 Stormsmiths
Defender
and then some combat unit...sword knights or storm lances?
