So i just picked up a battle box, squire, and book and I really want to use eHaley and cyclone somewhere in the army. But I never see cyclones anywere on the online lists. Why is that?

Also wats some good ideas for an eHaley list?

So after reading the book a bunch i have decided I really want to play eHaley. So here is my proposed list. I dont actually own most of these so i am looking for input before i got buy the finishing touches

eHaley
*Lancer - 6
*Ironclad - 7
*Hammersmith - 8
*Squire - 2

Journyman Warcaster - 3
*Charger 4

Black13 - 4
Long Gunners x6 - 6

35pts total. What ya think?

I also have a few questions about a few things. If i put the charger witht he journyman warcaster is he the only one that can allocate focus to it and he cannot allocate focus to another jack?
Also in my book the hammersmith has a ranged hammer with no range. Looks just like his melee hammer. So I am under the impression that he cant use boh a ranged and melee weapon same turn.. But his speacal rue is if he hits with both hammers he gets a free attack? I am confused. Or is this a typo?

Cyclones are very focus efficient for a heavy jack; its also good for anti-infantry and board control.

My eHaley list (which is in need of improvement probably)

eHaley
*Charger 4
*Defender 9
*Thorn 8
*Squire 2
Jr Warcaster 3
Black 13th 4
Arlan Strangewayes 2
Gorman Di Wulfe 2
Max Sword Knights 6

Ya I actaully lookd through the book and came up with a list.

I haven't Unlocked eHaley yet, but I do know she is one of our monsters if you are just starting I'd honestly not recommend jumping right on eHaley because if you don't know what you are doing with her Feat it will make your opponent hate you for drawing out the game (or love you because you failed to use her feat in any effective way).

If you have a Warjack attached to a Journeyman then yes, the Jr is the only one that can give it focus.
The Hammersmith having a Ranged Attack is just a typo, as cool as having a ballistic hammer would be.

As for your list, it's very jack heavy. You'd think more Focus means she can control jacks better but she supports an army better than a handful of jacks. eHaley is a monster, but she isn't a monster that kill you herself, she likes to have others do it for her.

I can't really recommend a 35 eHaley list, because I don't play her, but I'd drop the Charger and Hammersmith, upgrade the Lancer to Thorn and that will give you 10 points to throw around. Maybe change the Ironclad to a Stormclad and throw in a unit of Stormblades

I would drop the Hammersmith and Long Gunners - which will give you 14 points to play around with. I would invest those points into a melee unit like sword knights or storm knights. After that I would look into upgrading the lancer to thorn and getting Arlan Strangeways.

Whats all around better for the popints in this style of army. Stormblade Ifantry or Swordknights? I kinda like the storm blade infantry with thier charge order and added movement eHaler can give them.. Plus they have more power without speacal abilities

Next Question:
Charger.

When i use his ability to spend one focus to boots both attack and damage rolls for the attack does this carry on to another shooting attack or will i need to spend another focus to boost the 2nd attack?

Depends on personal taste. Both are 1 wound infantry so keep that in mind. Sword Knights will give you more bodies but with less power without warjack help. Stormblades are good but expensive and don't need the warjack help. I personally use the sword knights for the number of bodies you can have at armor 19. IF my enemy shoots them great their leaving my other stuff alone, if they aren't shooting them great, they get a unit of armor 19 sword knights in their face. Its a win either way.

Charger.

No to boost the 2nd shot you will need to spend an additional focus - so 3 in total. The charger is very focus hungry jack but I have won several games because of 2 charger shots.
