I used to play Hordes, but it's been a while I decided to pick the dice back up again and try out Warmachine. Point being, I have a vague idea of how this list will work and I haven't tested it whatsoever. I was hoping to get some advice before I start chucking money at my FLGS

A conceived notion of how it will work:

The house mages march up behind/around the Phoenix and chuck wooj at the enemy. The Ghost Snipers sit in the back, thin out the ranks, and hopefully crack down on some Casters. Pop Rahn's feat and let bodies fly.

Let me know what you think

Not bad, but I'm not a fan of putting almost half of your points in a single heavy jack. Just seems like alot of eggs in a basket that has pretty average DEF and ARM stats. At such a low point value, though, I don't really have any better ideas.

With Rahn I'd almost use MHAs over the Snipers. His spell list is almost designed to give them perfect assasination runs. Through either pure Telekinesis spam or a mix of that and Force Hammer you can both extend their threat range into the territory of stupid and make it easier to hit (Kock down with FH or turn back arcs with TK). I say almost just because I usually see this used with Chimeras and I'm not sure how or if it will work with the Phoenix as your only Arc Node. Chimeras are just far better at getting into position.

Yeah, I've got this posted up on Privateer, and another individual recommended swapping out the snipers for MHA's. After taking a closer look at them, I do think they would be awesome with Rahn.
