was looking into getting a ranged list plus the tournament i will be participating in requires 2 lists so i wanna have a ranged list and a melee list so i can play both sides of the fence. any ideas to make better including perhaps a different caster if need be besides Nemo, he already has a list

Well you need a heavy for starters. I wouldn't put to much into the full unit of trenchers to many points in 1 unit that dies to easily when melee hits as most scenarios require you to be up close and personal.

Two lancers are a waste with pStryker. I'd get at least an Ironclad for Stryker (if not Rowdy) and upgrade the hunter on the Dude to a Defender. Until you get over armor 20, the hunter and the Defender are a push in terms of damage output.

i am afraid i dont have Rowdy or a Defender and i will not be able to get them before the tournament, the IronClad how ever i can add easily, i wanted the list to be range heavy to kinda mix things up with my lists, i will be dropping a Lancer and 4 Trenchers + their UA. that will give me 11 points, i will use them to add in the IronClad and i was thinking about changing the charger on the JR to another Hunter. which leaves me with 2 points.....and i have already taken all the 2 point solos that are good that i know of......

What do you define as "good" as I'm thinking of several that your missing (Squire being the first on that list). What else do you have available.

I would also drop the Charger from Stryker if you add the Ironclad as Stryker won't have enough focus to go around ever with his upkeeps.

So far you have:
pStryker*6
*Ironclad 7
*Lancer 6
Jr 3
*Charger 4
Gun Mages w/UA 8
*Hunter 6
Arlan 2
Black 13th 4
Min Trenchers 6

You have 10 points left of wiggle room...which has plenty of options. My top choices

1. Squire - hes only 2 pts and Stryker will like the extra focus for 3 turns.
2. Melee unit - your going to need some sort of close combat unit, sorry all ranged lists can't compete at tournaments at all due to scenarios and kill box. Sword Knights, Precursers, anything with Storm in the word would make this list better.

so if i added a Stormblade unit + UA for the 8 points? then use the last 2 for a squire. the blades should give me a ranged element as well anyways
