Despite having her model since mk2 I've never actually used Ashlynn before but I really like her feat and figured it's about time I made a list with her. However, it's more of a work in progress at the moment, so any advice would be appreciated.

75 / 75 points
Ashlynn D'Elyse [+29]
- Mangler [15]
- Mangler [15]
- Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator [4]
Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (max) [19]
Gastone Crosse [4]
- Mule [15]
Rutger Shaw, Professional Adventurer [4]
- Mariner [14]
Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios [7]
Gorman di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist [4]
Anastasia di Bray [3]

Choices Explanation:
Spoiler:
Battlegroup - I've heard that you should run a Galleon with Ashlynn but I personally think she is far better off with two Manglers instead because she does absolutely nothing for the Galleon. There really isn't any reason to go over her warjack points besides power up anyway since she can't afford to hand out focus. Also thresher seems like it would be amazing during roulette.

Reinholdt
- I was originally going to go with Sylys but Ashlynn's feat and spells (even with the extra range) force her to play far to up the field to keep him alive. Reinholt on the other hand is faster, harder to hit and helps out with Ashlynn's shooting game which I find more appealing. I might replace him with a Ogrun Bokur depending on the changes I make to the list.

Nyss Hunters - This is the unit I want to cast and leave quicken on the whole game. Not much more needs to be said except that I'm also considering including a unit of Forge Guard so that I can bounce the spell between the two units when needed.

Gastone & Mule - They are a really solid combo that benefits from Ashlynn's feat. I also wanted to have some sort of reliable long ranged AoE threat.

Shaw & Mariner - I'm not 100% about them, I don't own Major Harrison Gibbs but I wanted a way to protect Ashlynn past just having Shaw with a Talon. I don't know what I would replace this with.

Eiryss1 - Not sure about her either. She's just here for her disruptor bolt and to a much lesser extent deadly shot. I'm considering using some Kayazy Eliminators instead.

Gorman - Damage buff, I wanted Lady Aiyana & Master Holt but didn't have enough points.

Anastasia - What I did with my extra points.

Gorman is an alright damage buff, but it's a limited application one, living things not suffering that problem. Perhaps Ragman? Although he has the problem of keeping him alive in a list without good sucker targets and the like. Humm

I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...

Gastonne does much better controlling a Galleon - assuming that you are willing to toss half your points their way.

Also, Any way to get Taryn in the list should be taken. The number of times that I have died to Shadow Fire. . .

I'm not opposed to taking him but I think my list just lacks the bodies to make Death Field useful at the moment.

Seems a bit too suicidal for my tastes but if I switched over to an all ranged list I would still consider it.

I wish her gun had +2 RNG but I'll find a way to include her.

I think this list is an interesting perspective on Ashlynn to say the least. Tell us how it goes when you use it.

So I finally played a game with Ashlynn a couple days ago and things honestly went better than expected. However, I used a slightly different list than what I posted above (I had a unit of Forge Guard in addition to the Nyss), which ended up being a huge mistake but then again I was fighting Deneghra with no anti-spell tech (there was no Eiryss in the other list) so my hopes weren't exactly high from the start. The main problem was that half of my army was already dead by the time I got close enough to hit back, I wasn't aware cryx was capable of so much shooting.

The highlight of the game was when Gastone's Mule single-handedly destroyed Barathrum in melee on Ashlynn's feat turn, it was out of complete desperation and somehow it worked.

If you get Gibbs into the mix you get Ashlyn, Taryn, Ragman and Gorman reposition 3 and feign death. The reposition helps with moving Taryn or if counter attack range.
