Evenin' all.

Well, I've been getting into this Warmachine lark...and I'm still pretty rubbish at it (W/L - 2:20 ish >.> )

Part of it is strategy - I think I've got to bring my army much more together than I would in WHFB (oh, that's fine, been playing that for 20 years). So I've got a few 35pt lists I'd like to hear some criticism on, as well as any suggestions, advice or downright pity.

Siege (+5)
-Squire 2
-Defender 9

Reinholdt 1
Gorman di Wulfe 2

ATGM - 6
UA - 2
- Avenger 9

Black 13th - 4
Rangers - 5

This is very much the 'heavy brigade' list. Typically I'd have a hunter marshalled by the Gun Mages, but figured I needed something more radical. Roll forward slightly and blast people is the name of the game, but it's not what I'd call especially mobile. I had two points so I threw in Gorman (he seems a popular choice) but, really, I'm not sure if he fits in this list.

List 2 - Something closer to what I'm using now.

Siege (+5)
-Squire 2
-Defender 9

Reinholdt 1

pEiryss 3

ATGM - 6
UA - 2
- Hunter 6

Trencher infantry (6) 6
- Rifle Grenadier 1

Black 13th - 4

I think what I like about this list more is the options Eiryss can give me. So far I find that I've been playing quite head on...but often too spread out. With her in the list I (...reckon I...) can threaten his back line from the flank with with her while I concentrate the rest of my force closer to the centre. I may try this list next week as all I need is a single grenadier to make it.

Oh, and as a cheeky side question...Would Kara Sloan work better with either of these lists? Cheers

Dropping Ryan's Mage Storm on a heavy unit under feat is pretty beautiful.

if you are playing against hordes players, then you may want to switch up to eEiryss for the beast shot. Also, consider dropping the B13 for Harlan Versh - it can get comical when you use his Malleus on a buffed model\unit then dispel the buff with eEiryss so the rest of your army can destroy it. Lastly, consider dropping the defender for 2 Grenadiers instead.
