Well I am getting into warmachines and I have decided upon Retribution of Scyrah. I love the mage hunters, which probably appears in this:

Warcaster:
Garryth

'Jacks:
Griffon
Griffon

Units:
Mage Hunter Strike Force (9+leader)
Mage Hunter Commander

Mage Hunter Strike Force (5+leader)
Soulless One Escort

Solos:
Mage Hunter Assassin

Mage Hunter Assassin

Mage Hunter Assassin

Everything but the 'Jacks have stealth. (Even the war caster)

I am hopefully going to be advancing with all but the Assassins, they'll try to flank and get the enemy warcaster, I will keep the large unit out of LoS and taking down any threats with 'Jack Hunter.

The small group will be there to assist the war caster and jacks.

I love the assassins, as one can kill a warcaster in one turn if I am lucky do to decapitation.

Anyway, I have only done a few "demo" matches as Cygnar, so I would like to see what anyone thinks.

So it's a Garryth tier list? Otherwise you've got too many MHAs. If it is a tier list, you've got another MHA you can put in and in this case you probably want to.

The biggest issue with MHAs is hitting and Death Sentence from Garryth gives a nice buff to that. I'd probably trade the Griffons for another MHA and a Chimera (for arc noding Death Sentence) mostly because the Griffons aren't doing much here and you want to keep non-stealthed to a minimum. A Garryth list can't help but be a Garryth delivery system, mostly because his buffs for the army are pretty minimal, but spamming MHAs means he isn't stuck doing all the assassination work himself (which can be an issue against casters with better threat ranges). In any case though, high armor infantry formations are going to give the army fits because MHAs only have 1 attack each, the MHSF units are pretty mediocre strength-wise and sending your caster just to kill a group of infantry is usually a waste and a way to invite an assassination.
