What Jacks do people take with kraye? I like the idea of a Stormclad for full tilt and his feat and a hunter for movement shenanigans with light cav moves and advance deploy and to pick off high arm targets or just sofent them up for a stormclad to charge from down town.

The rest of my list is blazers, rangers and lances. then laddermore, gorman, Eiryss2 and Lanyssa but the solos can easialy be swapped out, the idea is bassicaly to out threat with hard hitters and harras with blazers and a light cav hunter, and for harder targets a charging stormclad cant dirtnap I have armour fixers to go "lol nope" and all that good stuff.

Also...what are peoples thoughts with Kraye and the Gallant?

Minuteman with Kraye can be hilarious fun. If you go second, and their caster is anywhere near the front line.. think AD (18")+full tilt+walk (30")+jump (35")+two handed throw their caster back towards your gunline so they are KD and fodder for your Sentinels/Stormwall. Won't work twice, but the one time it works is just brilliant haha

I hear a lot of people talk about Kraye with multiple jacks. Hammersmith is a popular choice I think. Hunters are good.

You may want to take more than 2 jacks to get more mileage out of his abilities.

Though I will readily admit this is pretty much all second hand knowledge as I never played him.

For Kraye Himself I like to run something along the lines of 2 Hunters and then like Stormclad.

Hunters move up shoot and then move back into safety while Stormclad does stormclad stuff.

Stormclad is awesome. I'm also thinking Dynamo may be a good match for Kraye due to his spell that gives everyone in battlegroup boosted range attack rolls and Dynamo's 4-shot rapid fire.

Dynamo looks awesome but I love nemo too much give anyone else dynamo But the bosted attack rolls and chaim-reaction on dynamos gun seems legit. I only took two as Kraye isnt that high a FOCUS caster so I have two 'jacks who are very good and then filled the rest of my list with cav models and useful solos (armour fixers, the elf attachment, lanyssa for free charges outside the feat, and some upkeep hate)

But I mean, he doesn't NEED the focus to run jacks, especially for infantry removal (which your cav seem to be for). Sentinels buddy, shield guard to keep him alive, boosted shots to hit so they should mulch infantry, and light cav to get away from the infantry they don't get/get back in shield guard range.
