It seems to me that this list is waiting for a Thamarite unit to make it worth fielding. Does anyone think a single unit will give sufficient boost to this list (bearing in mind that you already have to field two units of Sea Dogs for tier 3)?

Or is a new NQ theme force more likely than this one becoming effective?

Actually, I'm looking at two other things that would have a greater impact than Thamarite units. Tier 1 of Fiona's theme force makes all units in her army Cultists. Cultists, per Fiona's card, become Thamarites. A UA that can be attached to any Thamarite unit or a solo that buffs Thamarites would help make the most of the two units of Sea Dogs you're forced to take.

They're a real bind with no synergy buff solos to help. You can take Mr Walls but that's about it. Doc will only buff Press Gangers (they're Tough) and they're only required by the theme in that you need four units and Croe's are a character unit. This means you take some after the two Sea Dog units and Croe's just for variety.

That UA or Solo would certainly help. The as yet unknown Thamarite unit would really have to be something to boost this theme list.

If the future Thamarite unit(s) are really good, just hitting Tier 1 could be a viable list, and you could leave all the Sea Dogs at home.
