Here is the list i ran today in my Epic Mangled Metal game today............

Darius
eNemo

Lancer
Defender
OL'Rowdy
Thunderhead

eNemo and Darius make a great combo. The Thunderhead is there for some power atk action, it helped greatly.
So what do you guys think, and what i should use in future lists?

how did you do? i see your combo as a bit different, since both of those casters really like jacks in their battlegroup so its hard to judge where you are going with the list.

Well for those who dont know epic mangled metal works the same as normal mangled metal but you use 2 casters/warlocks, and both jack points are used. I won thanks to Rowdy being Rowdy; he killed Deathjack one turn. I chose thows casters cause i thought they would work well together. I think i might wana take Siege and Sloan for the next one, thoughts? we are also toying with the idea of taking up to 2 solos for future games.

Wait... you used a semicolon in a grammatically correct manner, but "those" and "Sloan" escaped you? I'm so confused.

So the challenge is two casters, their points, and 25pt limit? How does focus allocation and battle grouping work? I can see eSkarre and Mortenbra being a particularly nasty combination if it all counts as one big battlegroup!

If they are separate battlegroups, I would probably go with a more independent, shenanigan-based caster combined with a jack caster.

Yeah me no spell good.
Both casters/locks share control. So if you kill one the other can control the jacks. The win con is ether kill both casters or kill all jacks.

So they count as one big battlegroup? Yeah, I'd love me some Morty + eSkarre just for the silliness of it all.

I would still take one caster that mostly gives battlegroup bonuses and another to mess with the other guy. I'm not too familiar with Cygnar casters, but it really looks like combining Sloan with eHaley is a very mean combination. Sloan giving extended RNG on shots combined with eHaley's Telekinesis is just plain mean. Sloan's arcane precision also gives her a handy defense against casters relying on Stealth as their primary anti-ranged defense.

blarg... allowing two casters in such a small point game (and even big games) is just begging for abuse.

Sloan+pHaley and having Reinholdt can give Kara 4 shots, 3 of which she can be boosting damage on

Well Sparks thats the point. There are a ton of crazy combos, and not just with warmachine; hordes to. I dont play hordes right now so I cant tell you any combos for them.

I suppose if your into that sort of thing, I've personally never cared for it since the game isn't balanced for two feats to be happening at the same time, Cassius and Barnabas together are insanely broken

It spices up games thats for shore. I do wana play more of them, got to find some good combos.

eSkarre with eDenny. Two turns of your stuff not doing anything. Meanwhile, Nightmare eats your casters.

I know I would hate this format, but since you're sharing
battlegroups (something that seems more game breaking
than just simply having two casters) does that mean you could
use eMagnus with Skorne? Mobility = Molik Karn bullet. Or
Kraye + anything? (all the 'jacks are now cavalry).

Kraye + Sloan (Guided Fire + Fire Group)

Ugh.

as a one off thing im sure it would be tight, but not a regular thing. i remember a bout of frankstein tourneys in MK1 that just got ridiculous.

Frankstein tourney's, what are they?

I had a game today vs Garryth and Ravyn, they are quite scary together.

Frankenstein is a format that allows you to mix models from
different factions. So imagine the Choir with Deathjack, etc.

But I think if I can find the rules ill see if my group would wana try them out.
