Hiya! Looking to make an all-comers list that would be fluffy and fun. By that I mean, "realistic".

So, I have:

Sorcha (with a base to convert her to eSorcha if needed)
3 full units of MoW Shocktroopers
Beast 09
Destroyer
Wardog
Yuri The Axe
The MoW Mechanic
The MoW Mounted Dude, Drakoon, or whatever.

Anything else you'd use/add? It's in a league that'll get to 50pts. I want to try and keep the same list, mostly. But if that is stupid, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!
Mark

The MOW mechanic is a unit attachement so you'll need to get some normal mechaniks to use him with. Beyond that? A unit of widow makers migth be of interest to you. Think some recon as it were and the sniper ability cones in handy against hard to damage 1 HP infantry. Exemplar knights spring to mind.

So I am assuming you want to keep the list using MoW Shocktroopers and either p or E Sorcha with Beast 09. This I assume is the "core" of the list you 100% want to keep, personally if you want to use MoW I wouldn't use a sorcha. pButcher or either Irusk is considerably better for running MoW's imo, that aside epic Sorcha is also considerably more competitive then prime Sorcha due to her feat working on everyone, thus better for an all comers list
As you said its a league and will get up to 50 I assume the tiers are 15, 25, 35, 50?

So lets start at 15 and work up.

15 pt - the goal here is to get the 2 jacks you would use in your final list, ideally I would use just a spriggan in a 35pt list and MAYBE at beast at 50, its a playstyle thing. Spriggans have bulldoze, a slight ranged game, plus their flare and are brutal in melee/charge with their lance.
eSorcha (-6)
-Beast (11)
-Spriggan (10)

25 pt - just progressing up so we want to add a basic tarpit that can make use of iron flesh, you CAN just add a full MoW unit for 9, but winterguard get the biggest bang for the buck between desperate pace, reroll combined, and iron flesh, they are also the most versatile as they can take care of high defense, other infantry, and even heavy targets somewhat while being incredibly hard to kill especially at this points level.

What I would add:
eSorcha (-6)
-Beast (11)
-Spriggan (10)

Full Winterguard + UA (8)
Joe (2)

35 pts -So there are a couple of routes here, to not lose to certain match ups we are going to add epic Eiryss, that leaves 7, so enough for a min MoW unit and the wardog.

eSorcha (-6)
-Beast (11)
-Spriggan (10)

Full Winterguard + UA (8)
Joe (2)

Min MoW (6)
Dog (1)

50 pts -Finally we get to where you wanted to be, adding in even more MoW units along with mechanics and the UA for the mechanics(i believe he was 1, if not remove the dog in all previous lists). This gives a heavy armor option that hits really hard.

eSorcha (-6)
-Beast (11)
-Spriggan (10)

Full Winterguard + UA (8)
Joe (2)

Max MoW x2 (18)
Dog (1)
Min Mechanics + UA (3)




Doing this all differently without Winterguard you can do something like below: Expect to lose or have a really rough time in a large variety of match ups and an easy time in others if you use any of the lists below, they are very skewed, but it fits a very heavy armor theme your opponent has to answer or lose, but this is by far the easiest of all questions to answer imo.

25 pts:
eSorcha (-6)
-Beast (11)
-Spriggan (10)

Max MoW (9)
Dog (1)

35 pts: Have 1 leftover point :(
eSorcha (-6)
-Beast (11)
-Spriggan (10)

Max MoW x2 (18)
Dog (1)

50 pts:
eSorcha (-6)
-Beast (11)
-Spriggan (10)

Max MoW x3 (27)
Dog (1)
epic Eiryss (3)
Full mechanics + UA (3)
