Why would you do that? Nemo2 has spells that buff heavy warjacks more.
For a super crazy feat turn! At 35 points you could have something like 10 chargers with Max focus each.

Bear in mind some casters like heavy warjacks while some like light warjacks then you have the few that like a good mixture of both.

HEUREKA!
I just discovered Dominic Darius' theme list, and OH DEAR MORROW is it awesome! I have always liked 'Jacks and Field Mechaniks, and so it happens that my favorite models (Sword Knights) are in the group as well! Thunderhead is kinda meh without Nemo, though.
I can only assume that this would look AWESOME on table!
Do any of you know how Darius works best? I know he likes heavies, which isn't much of a problem, and I also know that he might have some slight problems with FOC, as his spells are pretty expensive, so a Squire is a good idea. Have I missed anything?

Never played Darius. But rumors on the street were the Stormwall made him much better. Focus efficiency, he could hide behind it, enough boxes it might survive long enough to be repaired, etc.
The problem I have with repair is that if people know you have it they are just going to focus on taking down one thing at a time. If it is scrapped in one turn you can't repair it.

And what do you do for the rest of the game?

Well, you either win or lose.  I did say it is a crazy skew list...
So don't take it so seriously. I only mentioned it because people were discussing how to get a list with more than 2-3 jacks in it. And this list is an extreme version of maxing out jacks in a way that actually kind of works somewhat. I am in no way advocating that it is a balanced, tourney worthy list.
I got the idea from Agamemnon on the PP boards who actually has run this list (with no proxies). His collection is actually worth the time to look it over. His Stormwalls and Stormstriders in particular are beautiful.

Well you should have used nemo3 as finch gives him 1 extra focus point for each jack whilst nemo2 has buff spells that help heavies the most.

You'd generally rather have the feat than the extra focus for Charger skew, really. The difference between an unboosted POW 12 and a fully boosted one is strong enough that I'll pass on the second attack most turns for the one turn of Everything Dies ( tm). If you want to add insult to injury and get some use out of those upkeeps (really just Lightning Shroud, as the rest work just as well on the Chargers), drop a few Chargers for a Stormclad and some support (Stormsmiths, for instance). You're also getting more juice out of the Focus Matrix with light spam, as there's a much better chance there's going to be a 'Jack or three that aren't in a position to use more than 1 of those focus points. You're also getting an extra Charger with the General Adept, and as previously noted, his feat isn't entirely useless.

Nemo3 is more focused on lightning than making a warjack battlegroup hyper effecient while monking with the other guy's warjack battlegroup like with eNemo.
That's my take on it anyway. I think with Nemo3 you want everything in your battlegroup and list to do with lightning and immunity to lightning. Cygnar dosen't exactly have an infantry selection that can't risk the possibility of being popped with a stray PoW 10 electro leap.
