I've been playing a lot of games with Victoria Haley. I'm still fairly new to Warmachine, but Captain Kraye looks awesome, and his abilities have always interested me. So in the interest of preserving my speed freek theme, here we go!

Captain Jeremiah Kraye: Cyclone, Ironclad , Hunterx2, charger, squire 35 points

Rangers 5 points

Gun Mages 6 points

Aiyana and Holt= 4 points


The thing that worries me a lot about Kraye is the lack of magical weapon. (Stealth isn't really a problem for him, but I can see incorp being a huge roadblock) also if I drop the charger and the squire I could get another Ironclad. The Cyclone is there for the ridiculous double handed throw ride-by you can do. The Cyclone is also there to lay down dual covering fire to help deny area to my opponent. I'm planning on playing a couple games with the list to see what it can do. I might drop some things to add in minute men, but my biggest worry is the focus draw. People who've played Jeremiah before, how many jacks is too many? How much focus does each one need?

Honestly, I'd drop the Charger for the Gun Mage UA and one of the other amazing 2 pt solos Cygnar get (in faction I'm thinking Arlan, but if you go to include mercs you are spoiled for choice). By himself, the Charger won't do near as much as the Gun Mages can do when including the UA. Arlan is actually quite a good idea, as he can feed a jack 1 focus a turn/give it evasive, making it a bit easier for Kraye to get by, especially early game when the jacks don't need a lot each.

My worry with strangeways is that he is very slow, and all his abilities are short ranged. If I full tilt the Ironclad, Arlan will never keep up with it.

I'll think about it though, or I could just use goreman, who seems to be everyone's favorite go-to solo.

I am surprised you haven't looked at either the Centurion or Stormclad. With reach and full tilt they both have really good threat ranges.

As for the need of magical weapons why not consider Black 13th and/or Tempest Blazers.
