Now that Ossrum's stats are out, I have redone my list that I would like to run with him. My new dilemma is What kind of jacks I run under him, A basher, or two gunners and reinholdt. His ranged weapon is nothing special, but I had to take reinholdt due to there being 1 point left over. I wish He has 6 warjack points instead of 5.

Ossrum - +5WJ
-Basher - 7
OR
-Gunner - 3
-Gunner - 3
Reinholdt - 1

Thor - 2
Basher - 7

Max Forgeguard - 8

Ogrun Bokur - 3

Herne and Jonne - 3

I am Torn on this. I dig the basher, but the list already has one under thor and I dont think I will really make much use of both flak fields since the list has Herne and Jonne with fire for effect upkeep. Basically anything with mediocre ARM is going to get roasted the second they get near my lines. The real reason I am really considering the gunners is to have a really solid option for snipe, which herne and jonne would be if I didnt already have fire for effect on them. I suppose I could have snipe on them for the beginning of the game until they make their first shot, then just replace it with fire for effect for the rest of the game. At that point, the battle would be so close, I wouldnt need snipe anyway. Bullet dodger will most likely stay on Ossrum or thor most of the game. Although it could end up on Jonne depending on what list I am up against.

Well I am running the list with 2 bashers against my friend who is running Menoth. Here is his list;

Harbinger - +5WJ
-Reckoner - 8
-Repenter - 4?
-Heirophant - 2

Knights exemplar - 5

Min Zealots - 4

Reclaimer - 2

Character paladin solo - 3

Choir - 2

I havent played a game against the harbinger since MK1...I am not looking forward to it...

If you have thor, then take the basher, otherwize, take the gunners. But i would also recommend taking a heavy jack like the driller or rockram to provide some hitting power

We finished the game. The two bashers with ossrum and thor are scary fast. On turn two, I energized, feat, and drove: Pronto the bashers into position. One basher slammed the side of the repenter through his entire zealot squad, then flak field to kill a knight exemplar. The other basher had tune up damage and slammed the reckoner through the entire choir and the heirophant AND Vilmon (although he saved vilmon with the harby) before beating on it a few times. They do not hit hard enough at POW15. The repenter took some solid damage from the slam, but the reckoner only lost it's melee weapon and one other column to a fully boosted and supported basher.

The bashers got beat on pretty hard after that turn, although the one that slammed the repenter and the knights did survive to kill two more knights before he finished it off. At that point however, my forgeguard were pretty much on top of him and herne and jonne were dumping fire for effect AOEs all over his units. He had to save vilmon and the reclaimer solo about seven times, at which point he had to let them go due to having only 3 health left on the harby. ossrum was completely unharmed by the end, as were herne and jonne and thor. The forgeguard lost three members.

Stranglehold is a very nice spell as ossrum's only offensive spell. Casting it on vilmon effectively locks him down all game, which is nice because I have no magical attacks besides ossrum's axe to kill vilmon with.
