So what im getting for starters is all of this
I just dont know what warcaster to use, or which one will work best for this squad.

3 Heavy Myrmidon Plastic Kit (Hydra, Manticore, or Phoenix)

Gorgon Light Warjack

Griffon Light Warjack

Dawnguard Invictor Unit Box

Houseguard Riflemen

lots of jacks there. vyros is the "jack" caster in retribution, but other can run a few as well.

invictors are hot, they like ravyn for snipe, and also the boosted hits on feat turn. this can also apply to the riflemen. if your looking at minimal cost, pick up ravyn.

Ravyn, Eternal Light
Hydra
Phoenix
Dawnguard Invictors (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Dawnguard Invictor Officer & Standard
Houseguard Riflemen (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Houseguard Riflemen Officer & Standard

a gun list. it really lacks a lot of the quality solos that retribution boasts. i dont know your budget though.

I wanted to do a jack team, but the infantry i didn't know what to run, i atleast want 2 squads of something.

**studderingdave**

well than vyros is a good choice, he really gets jacks moving with mobility. your infantry choices should compliment your jack slection. most retribution jacks have a ranged attack, and invictors cover both bases pretty well.

i suggest getting some arcanists for the STR boost on jacks, since retribution jacks are on the low end of POW.

**skrulnik**

I suggest a unit of Dawnguard sentinels, and some mage hunter assassin solos.
Also , an Eiryss.

Sentinels give you a higher ARM infantry with reach.
Something to slow or stop a fast melee force.
All that shooty you have now is a good start, but will get swamped by the melee stuff that you don't kill.

Ghost Snipers and Mage Hunter Strike Forces.....2 pts for 3 pts of free damage
