First of all hello all. Just joined the community! I'm hoping to get a bit of advice as to building my first list.
I just started Warmachine a little while ago. I've been attending a slow grow league and using pStryker with his battlebox. Things have been going well. Losing lots. Winning lots. Learning Fast. Loving it all!

Anywho,
I'm a bit hasty with the creditcard, which has resulted in some units that probably don't fit well with my list.
I'd like to list what I own first off, and what I've selected to be apart of my list and get any feedback of what I could swap out/acquire to make it a bit better (I've only played up to 15 points so far)

What I own
eNemo
Squire
Stormsmith Stormcaller x6
Charger x2
Lancer
Hammersmith
Ironclad x2
Stormclad
Arlan
Black 13th

My 25 pt list that I've constructed out of these contents
eNemo [-6]
Squire [2]
Ironclad x2 [14]
Hammersmith [8]
Stormsmith Stormcaller x3 [3]
Black 13th [4]


I realize Black 13th doesn't seem to mesh that well with eNemo, but I figured they'd help in the anti-infantry department
My thoughts on how to improve it would be to swap the Black 13th with a firefly to ensure I get those triangulations. This is all theory though. I lack any experience with eNemo
I just figured the Hammersmith would wreck faces if I got him into combat with Lightning Shroud. Knocking things back and potentially getting 3 attacks in alone without any focus. All of which would be at +2 str and have a lightning bounce. At the very least he'd be something to be feared and focused upon while I set up Triangulations or get my clads in.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and hello!

You could go,

eNemo +6
Squire 2
Hammersmith 8
Ironclad 7
Charger 4
Charger 4
Black 13th 4
Arlan 2

Two good beat sticks with the Heavies, Chargers for some Feat Fueled pain, Black 13th are just awesome and Arlan to help with the Focus Load with Powerbooster, and Evasive to make a jack immune to free strikes.

Thanks for your feedback Gobbo!
I do like that alteration of yours. You can tell that I've thought about having two chargers at one point seeing as I bought two
I keep hearing people say that Chargers are focus hogs, but they've done well for me even when I've just allocated them one focus at times. Most of my assassinations are thanks to the Charger when it came to my battlebox games. So I guess Arlan would give evasion to the Hammersmith? seeing as how he'd be making advances in combat a lot due to his slams and beat backs. I wouldn't want him getting free stuck all the time.. I like that. Question though - Can the hammersmith get evasion while he has a buff on him already? (Polarity shield or fail Safe)? I'm assuming yes since it doesn't look to be a spell but an ability.
