well i had this idea for list, and i wanted to post it before i forgot about it. also what would be better charge at the enemy or sit back and pick them off

caster - karkevich - 5wj

jacks -

black ivan - 9

demolisher - 8

conquest - 18

infantry -

x2 winterguard field gun crew ( reason this over bombard is its 1 point cheaper, and its rat 7 if they are both alive, i would rather hit something them miss and pray for a good damage dice on the blast )

winterguard + ua + 2 roketters - 10 points

kayazy eliminators - 3

solo -

kovnik joe - 2

war dog - 1


where should i place the wrek markers, how should i play sit back or charge at them, est just how should i play this army in general

How you play the list depends on your opponent...and how you want to play your own list. If you are up against a really shooty heavy army like a cygnar gun line, then you will lose the ranged game 100% of the time (long gunners with the right buffs will just ignore your blast damage). In that case you would just want to charge forward while picking off vulnerable models until you get into melee. Against a melee heavy army - you would probably just want to sit back and lob artillery until they get into melee. Try and soften them up as much as you can, but dont shy away from the melee either. Field guns arent good, if you are going to take one, you are better off with widowmakers. Mortar crews are significantly better than field guns for everything that widowmakers arent good at: that is - lobbing artillery shells into formations. AOE 4" is a big area, you will almost always hit something with it. Keep in mind, it can only scatter up to 6". on a roll of a 1 or 2, you are still hitting your initial target. I wouldnt bother with them though, since you can have so much other AOE shots going down. Having the mortars just makes the list more vulnerable to models that ignore blast damage. If I were you, I would replace the field guns with widowmakers.
