I never thought I would play Warmachine, but here I am. I decided to play Convergence simply because of my love of the model for Numen of Aerogenesis. Any suggestions of what to buy if that model is what I want to base a force around?

Convergence is going to be a hard faction to learn starting out. I suggest reading the unofficial faction FAQ on the privateer press forums, its compiled by a personal acquaintance, and is quite thorough.

As for your chosen caster, if you go tier you will want several clockwork angels. Keep in mind those units don't often find their way into other lists so if you want additional casters its something to consider when planning your purchases.

I don't think I've ever seen a Convergence list without a Corollary. It acts as a focus battery and really does a superb job of it. It takes a skilled player to get the most out of it, but even a tyro can make it work quite well.

Since the RAT is low on her, and the convergence only rules confer that to the battle-group iirc, you are probably going to look at a melee oriented list. She also has the amazing spell transference, which allows warrior models to boost attack or damage rolls. This makes infantry much better than normal for obvious reasons.

An additional resource for running her can be found at the battle college site

Okay so based on what I like looking at I am thinking clockwork angels, a corollary, a conservator and/or possibly a modulator, some eradicators (Because they look amazing), and possibly a optifex directive unit. I also love servitors, but am skeptical as to how they will perform.

I have never seen convergence models before at my FLGS and quite frankly if I had I would have started this game a long time ago, the models are amazing.

There are ways around the low RAT, attunement servitors, have a mitigator boost a shot and getting a knockdown lowering the defense of the target to 5 against ranged attacks. The nice thing about her is her apparition ability where all models in her battle group gain the ability to be placed within 2 inches of their current location I believe in the control phase, so if range is an issue you can move say a monitor with that 2inches to get into range or move out of combat and then when you shoot you get a +2 to hit if you sacrifice your movement which you can now do since that apparition move does not count as your regular movement/advance.

I think your list is pretty good, a diffuser would be nice to give those Eradicators even more range. Reflex servitors work well with her as due to transference they can do a better job hitting. I'd shoot for a 15 point list as you are beginning and it will get a good grasp of the game. Go with a unit of angels and a full unit of eradicators and a jack or 2 of your choice. Honestly at 15 points you are looking at 1 heavy jack or 2 lights and I don't really recommend a corollary and a galvanizer, corollary just can't compliment it and at this level you will probably be facing other battle box like lists and you need something that can deal with a heavy.
