You might have some trouble with armies like Skorne and trollbloods who can simply out fight you but other than that a good list!

Only thing I see with this list is the Stormblades are going to have a really hard time getting to their targets.

I am doing this from memory (and I don't play Cygnar anymore) but N3mo doesn't have any def or armor buffing spells for troop units does he? If not that is going to make those stormblades extremely easy to deal with.

Not sure if that is a tier list with him. But I would look at getting a solid unit that doesn't need any support that can tarpit and jam units.

PKs perhaps.

i like the list but you may want to consider some support staff, unless you are looking at this as a fun army then i say play as is. the big thing that comes to mind is the new stormblade captain or rhupert to throw out some tough keeping the blades alive long enough to get to their targets. The gunners are great but they dont shine until they get close enough for the range 6 guns on the other blades in the unit. also without the UA i dont see the guns getting used all that much since you will want them in melee. Stormblades have the ability to hit really hard but have trouble getting there. the use of assault makes them better. you could use the points from the guns to have a unit + UA + 1WA then you can have the second unit be a screen of sorts and use a stormblade captain to charge through the front rank maximizing Nemos feat and the larger blade unit.

i also dont see the need for 2 storm towers, while they are fun they die quite easily. depending on placement of course.

I would drop a storm tower and get a stormblade captain solo and have the stormblades charge up a storm.

I will echo the above, you pretty much never get the stormgunners before the UA, cause stormblades very rarely shoot, unless you have the ever lovely snipe on them... which n3mo does not have.

Frankly, this seems like a bit of a meh list for Nemo in general, and would work better for several other casters, noticiably eStriker or even eHaley. The main problem is, you're only getting a big benefit from his feat in the eleaps, which is good, but not really amazing. The stormblade's shooting is good, but they will generally kill whatever they are charging without needing the damage boost. I'd recommend you focus more on stuff like the Thunderhead and the storm smiths. Eleaps with boosted damage is still only PoW 10s... you'll wreck enemy medium infantry and light jacks, but heavies will still survive it, so it does not do a huge difference against most armies(it would devastate trollbloods).

Still, if you DO wanna do it for fun fun, the UA is what I would go for. The captain would also be an ok addition, but you wont really need him, as you dont have enough bodies to have LoS problems yet.
