Lets start with the 35 point lists:
Mercenaries
A Pirate's Life (Captain Phinneus Shae)
(Tier 3)
PCs: 35 / 35
27 models
[00] Captain Phinneus Shae (0 / 6 WJ remaining)
[04] >> The Commodore Cannon & Crew
[18] >> Galleon
[01] Bosun Grogspar
[01] First Mate Hawk
[01] Doc Killingsworth
[01] Dirty Meg
[01] Lord Rockbottom, Expedition Financier
[08] Sea Dog Crew (9 grunts)
[02] >> Mr. Walls, the Quartermaster
[04] Press Gangers (5 grunts)
Mercenaries
Four Star Syndicate
PCs: 35 / 35
29 models
[00] Gorten Grundback (0 / 7 WJ remaining)
[02] >> Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker
[06] >> Ghordson Driller
[06] >> Ghordson Driller
[02] Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord
[03] Eiryss, Angel of Retribution
[01] Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator
[02] Thor Steinhammer
[08] Kayazy Assassins (9 grunts)
[02] >> Kayazy Assassin Underboss
[10] Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (9 grunts)
I'm really not sure about the Galleon with Shae at 35 points. If I drop it for two Nomads I get A&H, max the press gang and a rifleman for Meg (sorry Meg you kind of suck). The Gorten list I'm pretty happy with. I'll be honest I have put way less prep into this tournament that I usually do. Mostly because it's 35 points.
Earthbreaker Dojo
First list I came up with was:
Mercenaries
Highborn Covenant
PCs: 50 / 50
34 models
[00] Durgen Madhammer (0 / 6 WJ remaining)
[19] >> Ghordson Earthbreaker
[02] Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord
[02] Taryn Di La Rovissi, Llaelese Gun Mage
[01] Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator
[02] Thor Steinhammer
[02] Bosun Grogspar
[02] First Mate Hawk
[02] Doc Killingsworth
[02] Master Gunner Dougal Macnaile
[02] Lord Rockbottom, Expedition Financier
[04] Lady Aiyana & Master Holt
[08] Sea Dog Crew (9 grunts)
[02] >> Mr. Walls, the Quartermaster
[06] Press Gangers (9 grunts)
I used to play Durgen in four star but you can't have Taryn in that contract and I wanted to maximise the assassination potential. I also like the interaction where if you have even a large base within an inch of your caster so you can screen them from Durgen then your caster must be in the AOE for the mining torpedoes if they hit that model. Biggest drawback of this list. It has all the characters. Dougal is super important in this list, it has Rhupert and Rockbottom so both of Mercs command fixers and I really don't want to drop either. Thor is another must so that rules out the other Merc casters and A&H are needed against Menoth. Lastly I have all the pirate solos so there goes all the pirate lists (Shae and Damiano). If you are wondering why pirates? Primed works on the hand weapon and the point blank pistol attack because it is a melee attack.
So what the hell do I pair this with? The main option I was looking at was Macbain.
No, I'm not going to stop doing that.
Mercenaries
Four Star Syndicate
PCs: 50 / 50
39 models
[00] Drake Macbain (0 / 6 WJ remaining)
[02] >> Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker
[18] >> Galleon
[02] Gorman Di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist
[03] Eiryss, Angel of Retribution
[02] Saxon Orrik
[02] Ragman
[03] Ogrun Bokur
[09] Greygore Boomhowler & Co. (9 grunts)
[05] Alexia Ciannor & the Risen (9)
[08] Kayazy Assassins (9 grunts)
[02] >> Kayazy Assassin Underboss
I'll see if this works. I may have to change Rhupert to this list.
The other options is Durgen without pirates:
Mercenaries
Four Star Syndicate
PCs: 50 / 50
39 models
[00] Durgen Madhammer (0 / 6 WJ remaining)
[19] >> Ghordson Earthbreaker
[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)
[06] Steelhead Halberdiers (9 grunts)
[02] Saxon Orrik
[04] Lady Aiyana & Master Holt
That list is to pair with Damiano. If I choose to pair with Shae the last 3 on that list go and are replaced with Gorman, Eiryss, Rhupert Carvolo and Alexia and the Risen.
Next Ossrum
Mercenaries
Highborn Covenant
PCs: 50 / 50
29 models
[00] General Ossrum (0 / 5 WJ remaining)
[19] >> Ghordson Earthbreaker
[03] >> Grundback Gunner
[03] >> Grundback Gunner
[02] Taryn Di La Rovissi, Llaelese Gun Mage
[03] Eiryss, Angel of Retribution
[02] Thor Steinhammer
[03] >> Grundback Blaster
[02] Master Gunner Dougal Macnaile
[10] Long Gunner Infantry (9 grunts)
[08] Horgenhold Forge Guard (9 grunts)
So this is basically my old Ossrum list minus the second forge guard, the Rockram, Alexia and the Risen and adding in an Earthbreaker and Dougal. I really like Long Gunners with Ossrum, they do a ton of work. Ossrum has always been kind of not there. I still think he might be in that category.
I have no Gorten list for the Earthbreaker yet. I'm not sure whether I will play him with one. Probably. Man he would like a reach jack. Actually scratch that, I'll see if I can jam one in my current list:
Mercenaries
Four Star Syndicate
PCs: 50 / 50
24 models
[00] Gorten Grundback (0 / 7 WJ remaining)
[19] >> Ghordson Earthbreaker
[02] Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord
[03] Eiryss, Angel of Retribution
[02] Thor Steinhammer
[03] Ogrun Bokur
[09] Wrong Eye
[00] >> Snapjaw (Companion)
[03] >> Bull Snapper
[08] Kayazy Assassins (9 grunts)
[02] >> Kayazy Assassin Underboss
[03] Kayazy Eliminators
[03] Kayazy Eliminators
So that's dropping Sylys, Gorman, Two Drillers and a Blaster... Like I said, not sure. More thought may be needed or you know, some thought.
