with that last list it should be tier three as it has four jacks but no idea why it wasnt adding it.

Thoughts? So far this is my best list progression I have.

I love SeaRforge, I haven't played them but have looked at them for a year. I am guessing this is a journeyman league as you have 3 gunners. Also you do not get the Tier 3 benefit because it states you need 4 warjacks attached to Gorten in his battle group and the driller is with Thor. And I believe as per the journeyman rules you must have 3 Gunners and the Driller in the battle group with Gorten. So make that change. Your 15 looks good just move the driller up to Gorten (if using Forward Kommander click the arrows to the left of the point values in the list to move them around.

I'm not a big fan of the 25. I've only heard bad things about High Shield Gun Corp. This does not mean they are bad. For years many Skorne players have talked crap about Reivers and recently their appeal is through the roof after a very good player showed how to utilize them at a major tournament that was recorded and put on Youtube. However I think 2 units are a little much and it is disappointing his tier wants 2 units. I love pMakeda but 2 units of reivers is just lacking, a full unit with UA is fine but 2 is too much. So if you want to take 1 go for it by my recommendation is there are better choices out there, and I am just noticing 3 pts for the UA is high IMO.

I really like the Arcanist Corp, I love Thor, I think more Forgeguard is not a bad idea. I think in your list Ogrun Assault Corp would be great AOEs to deal with stealth and high DEF is nice. I really like the idea of a Basher with Thor. If you've never been on the other side of a Grand Slam where you think you have hid your caster behind a heavy jack just to have it slammed over you and then with follow up a heavy jack next to your knocked down caster is just brutal. And Pronto means Thor can put it in a better position before it moves in for the slam. I think at 50 an Earthbreaker would be awesome. Earthbreaker was a gift from PP to Rhulic Players, it's 19 points of kick ass and it is not going to drain your focus like multiple gunners and blasters and other jacks will.

I think the big reason the high shields get flak is that most players run highborn instead of searforge and gain access to nyss and ATGM which have a much better range game than high shields. The other issue is that gorten makes units immune to blast damage which is gold for ATGM but sort of wasted on the high shields since their armor is so high anyways.
