Is this a viable list? I find it strange that its so 'Jack heavy. Having 2 heavy jacks, and 3 light jacks, distributed to multiple controllers.

Personally I think the Mule would better on the Gun Mages with the ability to get access to Rune Shots. Have you not considered Rocinate or Gallant with Ashlynn?

Why a Talon with Sam, wouldn't a Buccaneer be better to get knockdown at range allowing Sam and co to get in and take advantage of trash on the charge?

I think the Nomad is wasted on Rutgar and if you want to run a Mule why no MacNaile?

I've just heard that a Mule is a "Staple" warjack for Ashlynn. Most of this is from things I've learned on Battlecolledge.

I have most of these models already. (( I don't have the Mule or Talon yet, trying to see if those would be good to buy ))

I do want to avoid the Character Warjacks, in case I use Ashlynns theme list. and the same would keep me form taking Macnaile.

So, You recommend having the Mule under the ATGM, and replace the Talon with a Buccaneer. By switching to the buccaneer, it frees up a point, to take a Goblin Tinkerer..

Would giving Shaw a Vanguard, and give Ashlynn the Nomad be better?

The Mule loves being with her because of the feat, and loves being with the gun mages because a 16" threat on that gun is amazing, or instead of that, D6+D3" can really disrupt the enemy (possibly 9" back? You bet it's nice).
