This is something I'm tinkering around with...

pStryker.
- Ironclad.

JWC.
- Charger.

Stormblade Captain.
- Stormclad.

Stormblade Infantry.
- UA.
- 3 Stormgunners.

The Black 13th.

This is my first list using Cygnar, so please pick apart at your leisure.

Pretty decent start.

Two things I would suggest. Put the Stormclad on Stryker, not the Capt. I don't believe the Capt ahs any drives or anything that helps the stormclad so may as well keep him with Stryker for the ability to get max focus.

And get a squire in there somehow. Probably drop 2 stormgunners. Strykers feat in particular is CTRL based so this makes it even better. Reroll is good for Earthquake and the extra focus is never bad to have.

You may find that 2 melee jacks is a bit much for one caster. If so you can drop the ironclad and use those points for other things down the road. Or drop the stormclad and upgrade the ironclad to Rowdy.

Otherwise, get some games in and try the army out. I find that no matter how much you theoryhammer once you start playing then things always need adjusting.

Thanks.

I tried to squeeze in Squire, but I just couldn't find the room.

I'm actually tempted to drop the Charger to add Squire and Reinholdt.

I would defo take the Stormclad away from the Stormblade Captain. He has no Drives to speak of so I would just give it to pStryker.

Some other thoughts to consider

Drop the Ironclad and Charger and replace with Ol' Rowdy and a Squire. Would give you two of our heaviest hitting jacks (outside of the wall) and both are focus efficient. Ol' Rowdy has Aggressive and Stormclad has Storm Accumulator. Squire will allow access to a bigger control area for his feat, spell re-roll useful for when caster Earthquake and access to more focus. This would give the list some serious armour cracking ability.

Drop the Ironclad and a Stormgunner and replace with a Lancer and a Squire. This alters the way pStryker plays by allowing him the play slightly back and utilize the Lancer's Arc Node for Arcing Earthquake.

If you don't run a Lancer then another option to consider in place of a Squire is Sylys Wyshnalyrr for the free upkeep, Arcane Secrets and increase in spell ranges

I would think about dropping some if not all of the Stormgunners. If you want to run the full Stormblade unit then a caster with Deadeye would probably be a better option.

I was thinking of running the Blades with Caine instead, but sauce for the goose ATM as I'm on my way to my FLGS and I'll have to make the army out of what they have the shelves.

Good luck, hope it's a well stocked one :-)

Well I managed to pick up...

eHaley

Thorn
Rowdy
Stormclad

Stormblade Box + 3 WA - which was mispacked as a Stormguard Box.
Stormblade UA.
Black 13th.

Stormblade Captain.
Strangewayes.
Sylyss.

Only thing I couldn't get was a Squire, but I can proxy him for the time being.

You want the squire with eHaley, since she has no upkeeps for sylywyly to do for free, and she loves the control boost. So definitely proxy him in
