Cygnar can excel by shooting, and also through balance. In scenario play, they are fantastic. Even an all out shooting list, can be hard to crack as your opponent in scenario play, is basically forced to move into it, if the Cygnar player has first turn.

Stormblades are extremely versatile, can do alot of fantastic things, Its really all about your growing skills as many people have said. My suggestion, find a caster you feel has a comfortable feel, and build from there.

You will take your bumps and niks like everyone who plays WMHD does, but in the end, if you excel, learn the rules, learn to use terrain and models creatively, Cygnar can help you excel.

I'm still staggered by how many people can afford to buy an 80 quid model for a wargame, much less two... dear god people, that's getting more expensive than 40k now.

But still, while can see how the Stormwall is effective, particularly with the cover templates giving it some very important anti weapon master deterrent that other colossials dont have, surely having only one type of unit in your list is a deterrent, eHaley or not. There is gotta be a hard counter to it. I am thinking Cyrx infantry spam?

Your right they are expensive. But factor in if someone has bought 2 Colossals, they are not dropping money on all those infantry units that are about 40% of the cost of a colossal. Colossal plus Haley is hard, but does not put you into auto win. Many 2nd lists for SR's are made to drop Colossals or Heavy Armor. Khador does it quite well. The nice part about SR's as well... you don't always have to kill the big nasty model to win the game

One of the better anti colossal lists I saw, came from Cygnar with Prime Haley and 2 Hunters vs Darius and double Colossal. Prime Haley feats turn 2, and drops 1 colossal flat in 1 turn with the extra shots.
