This is a strange idea I thought of that could really use haley's temporal barrier

So the tactic is pretty much turtle and shoot. Haley will be spamming temporal barrier (sorry ) and casting arcane shield when needed. The gunmages are there mostly to jack marshall a hunter and a grenadier to really buff their power. In addition, I think thunderbolt shots knocking enemies back while in temporal barrier would be annoying. The hunters are there to take out high priority armour, the jack marshalled one will be more efficient but i really wanted the grenadier marshalled and i'll explain. The grenadier will stick close to the trencher cannon to get the extra free shots and mostly be using snip to increase it's range to a whopping 14 inches. The cannon is here cause I had 3 pts to spare rather than a 2pt trencher chain gun and it would take more advantage from haley's feat. The B13th are here to be a toolbox unit and help with stealth/infantry. As for the two tactical arcanist corps, I feel that they perform their function much better than trencher infantry ever could. They don't take advantage of haley's feat but they use magic stuffs (are spells affected by haley's feat, i don't think so). In all, this is a campy list that can advance if it really has to but would prefer to stay still.

Like any gunline list this will probably struggle in scenario, but give it a shot and let us know how it got on

That is my main issue with this list as it is slow. I need some sort fast moving element if I expand to 50pts

Nyss hunters with captain jonas might be my next choice

Besides just being a little boring to play for both you and your opponent, it looks alright. Only big issue I see is even with Arcane Shield, everything is still very squishy. AOE spam will decimate it pretty hard. I know other factions can bring some AOE and shooting hate. But in Khador alone there is a lot that will be a real rough match up. Legion will also be rough, and anybody with Eiryss2.

As great as the models are, I kind of feel the Storm Lance's are a bit out of place. Unless they stay with the main force, they will have to be real careful not to charge out of Temporal Barrier's range and be a real short lived 11 points.

And, Arc Nodes, if your faction can use them I don't know why you wouldn't. Can really make Arcane Shield or Deadeye that much more deadly by quickly being able to change it to units or models on either end of the gunline if an enemy is pushing hard to one side.

Well, take what I say with a grain of salt, I haven't played Haley1, just against her.
