Hey, everyone. I'm curious as to whether or not this is a viable 35 pt force, as I'm a fan of heavy jacks, but I like the look and feel of Cygnar mores than Khador.

eNemo
-Centurion
-Hammersmith
-Stormclad/Ironclad
-Squire

Captain Arlan Strangeways
-Defender

Centurion handles defense, with the Hammersmith and Stormclad/Ironclad on its flanks to beat up anyone who charges. eNemo keeps of his buffs, drawing a bit more Focus from the squire (which also extends his control range, thus allowing him to stand back a bit further). Strangeways buffs the Defenders hits and damage.

Thoughts? Is this any good? Also, if this is a decent list, which would be the better choice, the Stormclad or the Ironclad?

Thanks in advance.

Without Stormblades, a Stormclad is paying more points for Reach, electro leap and
immunity to Lightning. Without a lot of lightning in your army, I'd say the Ironclad.

I'll have to bone up on eNemo to comment further.

You might be better off going with a different warcaster if you want a lot of heavy jacks. While eNemo does have a focus of 7 and a feat that would benefit multiple jacks, he also has a lot of expensive spells.

If you do decide to stick with eNemo, I'd personally consider models that do work well with his electrical abilities, like the Stormclad and the Thunderhead.

eNemo loves his jacks, but dont go overboard. if im taking eNemo its going to be his tier. his tier is prolly the only cygnar tier i would ever touch and only teir 1 so i can get more stormsmiths.

General Adept Nemo
Charger
Sentinel
Ironclad
Stormclad
Squire
Hunter
Jr. Warcaster
Stormsmith Stormcaller
Stormsmith Stormcaller
Stormsmith Stormcaller
Stormsmith Stormcaller
Stormsmith Stormcaller

junior will upkeep arcane shield on the frail old man. sentinel runs D while cutting down light infantry that get to close. charger is a solid hitter and a possible assass on feat turn. 2 beatstick jacks take care of heavies and stormsmiths nuke infantry and annoying stealth solos.

Hey, all. I also posted this over in the PP forums, and here's the altered list from the advice I got there:

eNemo
-Ironclad
-Hammersmith
-Cyclone
-Squire
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team
Arlen Strangways
Stormblades
-Officer/Standard
Stormsmith Stormcaller

Less jacks, but still heavies. B13 for assassinations and stealth prevention. Strangeways can repair bots, and give Nemo an extra focus. Stormblades with officer/standard for more infantry, and a unit of Stormcallers for some more disruption.

Looks solid. Just remember to run the stormblades behind some screen, they are easy to drop if they have no buffs to add to their survivability. Three heavies is a good number for eNemo as then each of his upkeep can be kept on a heavy.

How are you planning on distributing the upkeeps?

Let's see...

Lightning Shroud/Fail Safe - it's a spit between the Ironclad and the Hammersmith. Does the Hammersmith need the strength boost? Then the Ironclad gets failsafe. If the Ironclad, however, needs the strength, then it goes the other way around.

Polarity shield will most likely go on the Stormblades, who will be advancing just behind the Ironclad and Hammersmith.

Then a distribution of focus to the 'jacks, and the rest stays on Nemo.
