What do you guys think, trying a couple of different options with the artifacts, Balebreath mask for some mortal wounds,
Fleetmaster is always good to trick my opponents, I always put my frigate out wide and then move it to the other side when game starts.
The only other model I have is another frigate.
Any other ways to optimize?

you can't take fleetmaster as you allready have the Barak Urbaz trait, also, you can only have one artifact.
But other than that it looks like a fun list. I would either go all out on rifles on your thunderers, or take two canons so that your khemist can buff both the rifles and the canons.
How is the frigate working out for you? I'm thinking about getting one to transport 10 thunderers and 12 skywardens...

Yeah I hear you about the thunderers and having rifles, unfortunately I modeled them before the new rules came out.
I know the Frigates cost a lot in points but I really like playing with them, I use them to get a unit into place like the thunderers but then use the frigate to screen, take all the charges etc. this is where the last word comes into place. Generally it takes a couple of turns to destroy a frigate and if I have killed as much as i need i just fly away.
Barak Urbaz allows me to take what I'm owed, so another artifact and I thought I could still generate a command ability (fleetmaster). I'll have to double check that, Thanks

Oh yea ofc. they get that amendment.. But unfortunetly you cannot take an extra command trait.

Sounds good with the frigate, I might try that out
