So I fell in love with werewolves and kilts, so I decided to start up a Caledonian army, looking at that concept I decided I can get the Caledonian Highlander Army and the Scots Guard 6th Caledonian Infantry Regiment boxes. With those two boxes I can build myself a nice little 200 point force. This is what it looks like as of right now;

2 Volunteers with Rifles

Highlander Grey with AP HMG and Smoke Grenades

Wulver with T2 Rifle and Grenades

SAS with Boarding Shotgun

2nd Battalion Scot CH: Camouflage with 2 Submachine Guns, D.E.P.

2nd Battalion Scot CH: Camouflage with Molotok

1st Battalion Scot Lieutenant with AP Marksmanship Rifle

Works out to 3 SWC and 194 points. Good way to start? I feel like it gives me a decent range between high level infantry and cheap stuff to play with for now.

Option 2; Also slightly more awesome but 12 points short;

Cameronian with 2 Chain Rifles, Grenades, Smoke Grenades

Wallace Lieutenant with Combi-Rifle + Light Flamethrower, Smoke Grenades

3 Volunteer with Rifles

SAS with Boarding Shotgun

Wulver with T2 Rifle, Grenades

Highlander Grey with AP HMG, Smoke Grenades

Slightly less cost, and I get a wolf and William Freaking Wallace

Good to see the AP HMG in there. Those things are wicked, and the fact that Ariadna can cram in a couple can really ruin a HI or TAG's day.

The only downside I see to the second list is that when Willy is your LT, pretty much everyone knows it. It makes him a high priority target... buuuut good luck killing him. He's pretty tough. Smart play can use that to your advantage for sure.

I do like the SAS with Boarding Shotguns. I just love Boarding Shotguns in general, and being able to switch over to AP rounds is a great utility. Don't be afraid of using Chain Rifles though if you think there's gonna be some issues with Camo troops or ruining a Link Team's day.

And hey, when you're eventually taking the plunge to 300pts, see about taking Cateran Snipers (I think that is spelled right). Those guys are really badass... and Kilts + Climbing Plus makes me laugh.

I'm really confused about the Cameronian, what does Forma: Dog-Warrior mean, does that mean he deploys as a Dog-Warrior rather than a Dog-Face? If so that is totally boss. The main reason the AP HMG is in there is because it comes in the highland box.

I haven't used the werewolves myself, but I believe some of them start in Dog-Face form and then have to either make a kill or take a wound to go into Dog Warrior form.

There are some of the Werewolves that are permanently wolfed-out, and I believe the Cameronian is one of those. The other is the French werewolf whose name escapes me.
