First time trying to think about list building, so, just looking for some feedback:


Haley (p or e, both are nice)
Cyclone
Arcane Tempest Gun mages + UA
Black 13th Gun Mages
Long Gunners MAX
Squire
Precursor Knights + UA



What do we think? I like shooty lists, but I also like the Precursor knights. The mini-feat makes me happy.

This list can handle an infantry list well but is sorely lacking a heavy hitter. Precursor charges can handle most things that have been softened up by ranged attacks, but sometimes you will find those few models or lists that will render them ineffective. I think you should either swap heavy warjacks or consider dropping a unit for a second heavy.
It certainly can work, but this is not what I would call a well-rounded list.

What I would do is switch the cyclone to a defender if your keeping the gun mages, or add a close combat melée Jack instead. eHaley has a few ways of speeding up a Jack, with her bond, teleport, and acceleration spell, a stormclad can have a threat range of 14" at a cost of 5 focus. Leaving 3 to be allocated to it, allowing 4 pow 19 attacks, and 1 pow 14. This will cripple if not destroy any Jack it can reach.

Also with eHaley, you'll want to seriously consider an arc node. Because you'll find yourself casting domination and teleport every chance you get, and you won't get many chances withou that arc node (unless your dumb and play her 8" from the enemy).

I just want to point out that the gun Mage UA's run shot ability is wasted on this list
