Haley2 dude swarm

So Keith (who is my warmachine guru) and Jay from Chain Attack have been playing Haley2 dude swarm lately and I love Haley2 dude swarm. A lot of the time Haley2 can be almost as unfun to play as she is to play against but when you can just start throwing out her spells like crazy because you have all her focus for spell slinging then she is a lot more fun. Being able to telekinesis your opponents heavies together and then time bomb them is fantastic. As is swarming a zone and becoming a scenario monster before TKing out anything you don't kill. She has a lot of range on her spells too with the reaction drive on Thorn or he can use that to get away. Anyway here are the lists they have played:

Keith:
Cygnar
Standard Army
PCs: 50 / 50
44 models

[00] Major Victoria Haley (0 / 5 WJ remaining)
[02]  >> Squire
[08]  >> Thorn
[03] Journeyman Warcaster
[04] Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team
[02] Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord
[02] Anastasia Di Bray
[02] Gorman Di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist
[03] Eiryss, Angel of Retribution
[01] Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator
[09] Greygore Boomhowler & Co. (9 grunts)
[05] Alexia Ciannor & the Risen (9)
[10] Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (9 grunts)
[04] Lady Aiyana & Master Holt

Jay's list:

Cygnar
Standard Army
PCs: 50 / 50
42 models

[00] Major Victoria Haley (0 / 5 WJ remaining)
[02]  >> Squire
[08]  >> Thorn
[03] Journeyman Warcaster
[06] Arcane Tempest Gun Mages
[02]  >> Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer
[05] Stormblade Infantry
[03]  >> Stormblade Infantry Officer & Standard
[02]  >> Stormblade Infantry Storm Gunner (2 Gunners)
[02] Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord
[02] Anastasia Di Bray
[02] Gorman Di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist
[03] Eiryss, Angel of Retribution
[02] Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress
[08] Horgenhold Forge Guard (9 grunts)
[05] Horgenhold Forge Guard (5 grunts)

A little comparison between the two lists. Keith was pairing with Asphixious2 who loves ARM so he could afford to be a little light on ARM cracking. He could also take a lot more character models since there are no character models Cygnar can use that are in his Lich list. Jay was pairing with Haley1, another Cygnar caster who had to share her character models and who is not generally a fan of high ARM. He needed to cram some ARM cracking into at least one of his lists.
