So I am looking to expand my Cygnar from 15 to 25. This is building off the Cyvnar battle box so right now my models are a bit limited. My current 15 point list is the battle box plus the B13 and is as follows:

pStryker
-lancer
-ironclad
-charger

B13

I am not looking at adding more jacks so that leaves me with infantry. I went back and forth between stormblades and ATGM and ultimately settled on the stormblades. I went with them because I didn't want more ranged, at least not at the moment, due to already having the B13. I also wanted a little more viability in melee. I know the blades are a bit fragile but hopefully with blur/AS on them, they can survive a bit longer to get into melee.

With that decision made I also decided to add the stormblade UA. This takes me up to 8 points and leaves 2 points left. For those 2 points I'm looking at adding one of the following:

Rupert
Squire
Storm gunner x2

I feel the storm gunners would make the stormblade module too points intensive at this point level so it really boils down to Rupert vs the squire. I think Rupert might be a better option to offer the stormblades more options to increase their effectiveness. So the final list would look like this:

pStryker
-lancer
-ironclad
-charger

B13

Stormblades
-UA

Rupert

Any suggestions on the list? I like the way it looks and I think the list has a decent all around approach. That is for any help as I progress in my foray into Warmachine.

You´ve got a good understanding on how to build an army. Your choices are well explained and reasonable. You´ll want a Squire and Rupert sooner or later anyway but with the list you have I agree to your suggestion to pick the merc first.

Rhupert can help keep the Black 13th alive for longer. I prefer the ATGM, but I love board control. ..

Stormblades are solid though. Nemo3 can do some evil with them.
