Ok so I really like the minuteman model but I haven't bought one yet so I was wondering if I wanted to base a list around them what should I put in it?

Well, I wouldn't build an entire army out of the minuteman, as it is a bit short-ranged, fragile, and focus thirsty. I would probably just put one or two in an army, and fill the rest out as normal.

That being said, if you want to focus on the minuteman, here are a few ideas for casters:

pStryker: Snipe is insanely useful on a minuteman, doubling the range of the slug guns. Same deal with any other caster with snipe.

Kraye: Allows you to advance, flak, jump, shoot, withdraw to safe distance/control area with the fast cavalry rules.

Siege: The guns have enough kick to be a huge threat to warjacks on his feat turn, while flak field can clear huge swaths of infantry almost automatically at the same time. The slug guns have high enough pow to actually be quite a threat with explosivo cast on one of them.

Modify the stock Charger spam list. Take eNemo add Minutemen...

Ronin suggestion of eNemo + minuteman seems to make sense. The feat turn would be quite violent to say the least. The little guys are already mobile. So having a lot of them, then casting energizer + feat = lots of room to play with if your aggressive moving on turn 1. In bulk, they could be pretty nasty considering your entire list has full range of power attacks.

Thanks so much and yes i would like to run more then one or two ... but since i didn't know they were focus thirsty (no card or stats) i think i might run them with pNemo and some support so i can get that famed 11focus that he can put out.

Take as many as you want with eNemo and fill all of them to full on the feat turn. Not much should be left after that turn.

It was a big let down to see how low their melee is. Their guns hit hard for having two of them on a light, but they have the weakest melee of any cygnar jack. They seem like they would make for fantastic assassins with their jump ability.

Psst trade secret.

You can't actually put rules on the net as that would put PP out of business but you can generally describe a unit's failures and strong points.

The main problem with it is that each time you jump you need to expend focus. Plus if you want to boost or use snipe.

One thing that might work is using the gunmage UA. Then you do have the problem that you can't jump with a drive. So you would have to take Arlan Strangeways. He's a character and so he can't be taken twice but for a quite high price that's a jack focused and sniping.

That would cost a lot of points though.

You would need to find out the field allowance of the Minuteman too.

Who put any specific stats/rules up?...

Not really in the site rules. Sorry. Youll have to do with Battlecolloage standard ambiguity
