Hey guys! I am a new player finally building my Cygnar list and am about to buy some models. First, I am not starting with a 35 point list. I will probably play a few games at 15 first but wanted to have the models for a 35 ready.

I am looking at having this list, mostly because I like the models, but also because I had some help from another user on dakka.

EHaley
Squire
Lancer

Allison Jakes
Defender

Arcane Tempest gun mages
Officer UA
Hunter

Full unit of Sword Knights

I guess my question here is if EHaley can have a Lancer and a Squire attached to her. I ask because the Squire's card says that I attach it to my warcaster, but then it goes on to say that I can only have one model attached to it. I guess if I cant I will attach an officer and standard to my sword knights instead.

Thanks for any help you all can offer. I plan to start buying some units this week so I can start painting them up. Also, as a side note, I have a unit of Long Gunners, Tempest Blazers, a Journeyman Warcaster and Field mechaniks already if that helps any of you to adjust my list.

Yes, you can have the squire attached to her and still have the Lancer. The Lancer is part of the battle group, but not actually attached.

Also, is there a reason you are running the defender on Jakes? I'm just asking. The defender only usually needs two focus, so I normally see people running the regular journeyman to give it two and upkeep arcane shield. Jakes defense bonus isn't much help to the defender. I normally see her with a charger (which needs 3 focus, and gives her one focus to upkeep her spell) or something else, which would give your more points to get something else in the list. All that being said, if it were me, I would switch Jakes out for the regular journeyman, as you need its big gun in your list from what I can see.

Just some thoughts.

There really isn't a reason I have it on Jakes. I really have no idea how to make a list other than what models I like, but thank you for your input. I will make the appropriate changes.

Personally if you are going to use eHaley then I think Thorn is a far better investment with her that the Lancer.

I also think you really need to include a Melee heavy jack with her. Outside of Stormwall, Stormclad and the Centurion are two options and both have a good threat range due to the bond, Reach, Telekinesis and Temporal Acceleration.

I too would suggest taking something out to get a centurion in there, with Haley's bond it can both keep up with the Sword Knights and fit all of them into its range for flank with reach.
