Thanks. Caine added.

My choices are purely based on the look of the models.

I think you forgot Lt. Caine (pCaine). Haven't picked up Kraye yet, but he may replace Darius as my 'jack' caster, especially if they don't give Darius a boost in the final Mk II rules.

if i was to play cygnar i would use siege, purely on looks alone.

i usually use siege or caine, though i also will use haley, striker and nemo, since i have the model

I like the eNemo sculpt, but what's going on with that weird regular nemo sculpt? I don't like it
all that much at all.

I think I'm leaning toward trying Lord Commander stryker. He seems buff.

I just kinda rotate through them all...

No favorites then?

My favorites are eHaley & eNemo but I use them all.

I only have Haley

eStryker all the way here. I started with Kraye and quickly got bored of the 'I shoot you, you do nothing, I shoot you, you do nothing' style. Tried adapting Kraye to a much more in-your-face approach but just found that it was really trying to push square peg Kraye into the circle hole that eStryker was built for.

Think it will play the same in Mark II Moz?

Kraye got a buff to his 'in your face style' in the form of the souped up 4 focus autoboosted attack roll Stormclad who will find you from 22" away (10" (full tilt) move + 5" (feat) charge + 5" hot pursuit + 2" reach). I definitely am more compelled to run heavies with Kraye in MkII as you can zing one off at your opponent every turn at great distances, then switch full tilt onto a new heavy - the cavalry charge bonuses are still as horrifying as ever.

eStryker stayed very similar to his MkI incarnation, but provides a much larger impact on the game overall as he's allowed at any point level. A desperate roll of 3d6 on his overload can net you a warcaster swinging at effective Mat 9 (positive charge) and PS 20-35 (PS17 + 3d6). Much bigger effect in a small game when the opposing warcaster starts killing a jack with each swing.

So, eStryker maintains his role and Kraye moves in his direction a little. Kraye is maligned on the forums for losing a lot of his oomph, which I'm not completely sold on that idea with the improvements to Jacks. Kraye provides the best passive buff to jacks in the game.

I cycle through Enemo and both versions of Stryker.

Soon, though I'll have to add Ecaine to that list as well.

Mostly because my selection of 'casters is very limited at the moment.

eHaley is my favourite, but that is shallowly based on the model sculpt. Some m inis stand out above all the rest as must haves, eIrusk, eSeverius, eHaley, eAsphixious and the Harbinger have a presence beyiond that over other minis in the range. Any army I collect that can take one of th above has to have it. i might get a Cygnar army just to get an excuse to buy eHaley.

Coolness.

If you don't mind, could you look over the various casters here for Mark II? I'm wondering
if I got it right.

Love PStryker and PHaley and play them most in that order. I also love Nemo who is third on my list, but will get even more game time come MKII.

I'm partial to pStryker and pCaine theough I'm looking into Kraye to try out the cavalry thing.
