Could someone give a list of things they would use in a firepower heavy 15 point Cygnar army?

eCaine
Charger

We need more specifics. Are we dealing with a mangled metal (ie only jacks and beasts?) format, or steamroller? Do you want infantry or jacks?

Caine, epic Caine, Kara sloan and siege pop to mind for casters.

Hunters and defenders pop to mind for jacks.

You can't go wrong with gun mages or the black thirteenth at that scale for infantry. Although I still have a soft spot for long gunners.

Just building a army that equals 15 points and I want to focus on using fire power...I have no other specifics..and thanks for the advice so far.

Siege
Defender
Rheinholdt
Squire

Gunmages
UA

15 pt exactly

All you need in 15 point games is a version of Caine. His feat´s are mean stuff in small games.

This is a pretty good 15 point list.

Though I think the Caines can be even nastier.

Firepower? BAH!

Lightning Power!

pNemo
Stormclad/Centurion/Thunderhead
Stormblades
Stormcaller

Kraye
Stormwall
Strangewayes/Squire/two Stormcallers

Cast Guided Fire. Give focus to the Stormwall. Shoot lots of boosted ranged attack rolls.

Everyone has firepower. Go with something Cygnar is know for. Lightning

How about

Captain Victoria Haley
~Hunter

Long Gunner Infantry (Leader and 5 Grunts)
~Long Gunner Infantry Officer & Standard - free from tier bonus
Long Gunner Infantry (Leader and 5 Grunts)
Precursor Knights (Leader and 5 Grunts)

That should be able to deal with anything your opponent puts on the table at 15 points.

I kinda feel like Forge Guard do everything that Precusor Knights do but better. As frontline units they both absorb charges equally well. You're looking at a comparable armor stat, equal MAT, and MUCH better weapons on the Forge Guard. Though I guess if you have a lot of issues getting around magic buffs in your meta the Precursor Knights could definitely be an attractive option.

Neat but this list would get run over by alot of casters. pFeora would light your entire army on fire and you would lose 70% of your army on a single turn. Durgen madhammer would crush all of those longgunners while sitting safe behind a wall of forge guard. terminus and/or asphyxious...nuff said.

I really think if you are looking for maximum firepower at 15 points, spending 3 points and your caster to get eCaine, Squire and Reinholdt can't be beat. The rest can be B13, ATGM, Hunters, whatever you want, but that 3 point caster 'unit' right there can trash almost anything.

pStryker, Stormwall, Squire.

Not many 15pt lists are dealing with the Stormwall

^^^ x100. Caine can kill 15pts of stuff in one turn. Give him a reliable meat shield, walk up, kill everything and laugh as your opponent counts his broken toys. I want to say Jr, Cyclone and Defender.

B13, trenchers and a grenadier will let you rape light infantry.

I've seen this before and it was hilarious.
