Merc Lists

With the impending release of the Galleon I have gone Mercs in the league so I've gone through and organised my Merc lists for 35 points. They are below the jump because otherwise they'll take up too much space.
Mercenaries
Four Star Syndicate
PCs: 35 / 35
10 models

[00] Captain Bartolo Montador (0 / 5 WJ remaining)
[02]  >> Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker
[18]  >> Galleon
[02] Ragman
[02] Master Gunner Dougal Macnaile
[09] Wrong Eye
[00]  >> Snapjaw (Companion)
[03]  >> Bull Snapper
[04] Lady Aiyana & Master Holt

WOOO! GALLEON! The Galleon is ARM 24, RAT 7 with the gun ports, all it's ranged damage rolls including the AOE blast damage rolls are boosted, its guns are magical, it can make melee and ranged attacks it hits at P+S 23 in melee. Plus it can drag a heavy to its death every turn. I'd really like to get a shield guard in there but the points are too tight.

Mercenaries

A Pirate's Life (Phinneus Shae)

(Tier 4) 

PCs: 35 / 35

34 models

[00] Captain Phinneus Shae (0 / 6 WJ remaining)

[04]  >> The Commodore Cannon & Crew

[06]  >> Nomad

[06]  >> Nomad

[03]  >> Buccaneer

[01] Bosun Grogspar

[01] First Mate Hawk

[01] Doc Killingsworth

[01] Lord Rockbottom, Expedition Financier

[08] Sea Dog Crew (9 grunts)

[02]  >> Mr. Walls, the Quartermaster

[02]  >> Sea Dog Crew Rifleman (2 Riflemen)

[06] Press Gangers (9 grunts)

WOOO! PIRATES! I really want a third Nomad but in order to take one I'd have to drop the press gang down to a min unit. I think at 35 points I can get away with 2 nomads. This list is fast and full of shenanigans.

Mercenaries
Four Star Syndicate
PCs: 35 / 35
28 models

[00] Durgen Madhammer (0 / 6 WJ remaining)
[07]  >> Ghordson Basher
[06]  >> Ghordson Driller
[03]  >> Grundback Blaster
[01] Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator
[02] Thor Steinhammer
[02] Master Gunner Dougal Macnaile
[08] Kayazy Assassins (9 grunts)
[02]  >> Kayazy Assassin Underboss
[10] Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (9 grunts)

At 35 points I've lost Herne and Jonne from my list which means that now Madhammer is the only ones who will benefit from my feat. I've also lost the steelhead halberdiers in order to keep the Nyss to give me more ARM cracking, the Kayazy originally get primed then they Nyss get it late game when they charge in, I can also hot swap it so everyone gets a chance to explode. At 35 points there just aren't enough explosions to get me too excited, at 50 points it's like a Michael Bay movie. 

Mercenaries
Searforge Commission
PCs: 35 / 35
19 models

[00] Gorten Grundback (0 / 7 WJ remaining)
[06]  >> Ghordson Driller
[08]  >> Wroughthammer Rockram
[03]  >> Grundback Blaster
[09] Brun Cragback
[00]  >> Lug (Companion)
[02] Thor Steinhammer
[03]  >> Grundback Blaster
[03] Ogrun Bokur
[08] Horgenhold Forge Guard (9 grunts)

WOOO! BEAR! I'll admit I wanted to do a Searforge list just so I could get the bear on the table. From that point though I had a look at the casters and tried to figure out who would do the best in Searforge. Madhammer is out immediately. There are no good targets for primed and he loses MacNaile and Reinholdt.  Gorten and Ossrum both lose something by going into Searforge, Ossrum loses the ability to take good ranged units (Highshields *shudder*) Gorten loses gun mages which interact with his feat in terrifying ways. Gorten however really wants to get forwards to catch stuff in the feat and the extra 4" deployment is a big deal for him. There is some interesting tech in this list but I want to keep these things brief.

Mercenaries
Highborn Covenant
PCs: 35 / 35
28 models

[00] Captain Damiano (0 / 6 WJ remaining)
[02]  >> Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker
[09]  >> Gallant
[02] Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord
[02] Gorman Di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist
[02] Harlan Versh, Illuminated One
[06] Arcane Tempest Gun Mages
[02]  >> Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer
[06] Steelhead Halberdiers (9 grunts)
[10] Steelhead Heavy Cavalry (4 grunts)

I initially dropped Rocinante out of Damiano's list because of character restrictions. That's not such a big issue any more so he might come back, the combination of sure foot and guard dog is a strong one but Damiano stays back and Gallant goes to DEF 15 ARM 19 no knock down and helps out nearby models as well. 

Mercenaries

Highborn Covenant

PCs: 35 / 35

38 models

[00] Constance Blaize, Knight of the Prophet (0 / 6 WJ remaining)

[02]  >> Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker

[09]  >> Gallant

[02] Gorman Di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist

[03] Eiryss, Angel of Retribution

[01] Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator

[06] Steelhead Halberdiers (9 grunts)

[08] Horgenhold Forge Guard (9 grunts)

[08] Precursor Knights (9 grunts)

[02]  >> Precursor Knight Officer & Standard

So far the number of times Gallant has actually swung his sword in this list is 0 (he has ran into combat to provide a flanking option for Constance). There are 30+ infantry in front of him, he never makes it to the battle before it's over. That's why I think in most lists it should be Rocinante. However before the Galleon (or to put it another way, right now) Mercenaries had a bit of a problem with high ARM and this list was my answer to that. Purgitation on Gallant really helps in theory. 

Mercenaries

Highborn Covenant

PCs: 35 / 35

30 models

[00] Ashlynn D'elyse (0 / 6 WJ remaining)

[02]  >> Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker

[09]  >> Rocinante

[02] Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord

[03] Eiryss, Angel of Retribution

[01] Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator

[10] Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (9 grunts)

[04] Lady Aiyana & Master Holt

[08] Precursor Knights (9 grunts)

[02]  >> Precursor Knight Officer & Standard

*cue old man voice - Back before Wrath Ashlynn's theme force was particularly devastating. With infantry everywhere, two units of gun mages with UA + her feat and shenanignas from Taryn, Corbeau and Anastasia were really strong. Now not so much. Rocinante is huge for Ashlynn who wants to get forward, Sylys really helps her cast Gallows and Distraction and she really needs some damage buffs which her theme force lacks. Her theme force is still good, especially against infantry heavy lists but whereas before she was always in her theme force now I think you see her out of it more often than in it. 

Mercenaries

Four Star Syndicate

PCs: 35 / 35

25 models

[00] Drake Macbain (0 / 6 WJ remaining)

[18]  >> Galleon

[02] Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord

[02] Ragman

[09] Greygore Boomhowler & Co. (9 grunts)

[08] Kayazy Assassins (9 grunts)

[02]  >> Kayazy Assassin Underboss

I've talked about this list at 50 points, at 35 I lose a lot of the support and that hurts. Still Kayazy will murder whatever, boomhowlers jam and give me scenario options or can stop things from getting to the Galleon. 

I'm missing Fiona, Ossrum and the two Magnuses. I don't have Ossrum, and the other 3 I think really need 50 points. I may come back to them but it won't be in the league. I want to play more Bart, Damiano, Gorten and Shae.
