2nd Siren counts as Skirimisher so can roam around quite freely on her own. Skirmisher + solo model means -2 to hit for shooting so she is well protected. Muses Harp should let me stop enemy getting too close as well Manta Rays. Gaint Crabs I just love.

I'm interested in seeing how these armies perform.

I think your first mixed one is the most balanced and is in with the best chance of success. The final magic one doesn't sem to have enough in the way of melee units.

The core units I referred to before that can be combined to better effect are sandgangers and tide watchers.

The sandgangers use the enemy's profile stats -1, the tide watchers can throw their nets over the enemy to reduce the current (but not starting profile stats).

If you manage to throw your nets first the whole enemy unit might strike last (if you're successful) with -1 strength. That means the sandgangers will strike before them with the same strength and a 6 regen save which should even things out.

Ah I thought the TIde Watchers were involved, Ill have to make up a list that includes them.

Playing Nauticans tonight Ill let you know how it goes - also going to try and get more guys in the club interested in them as well. Mentioned them at the tournament I was at last weekend and a few people had heard of it which bodes well

you should post something about them on the following forum

Where all the Aussies and Kiwis hang out

thanks Kiwi, I'll give that forum a go.

I think I've had a few visitors from there to the Battle Reporter blog, it rings a bell.

Let me know how that playtesting goes. I hope the crabs fare well and don't end up in some Empire subway sandwich !

I think ill be up against Gobbos again and then Ogres ill find out tonight
