Hallo all! With the Oblivion update around the corner and all of Cygnar's themes spoilt I have been looking through my lists in Warroom lately to see what is likely to change.
Some of the lists I created but never played didn't "min max" to get 3 free solos, and now under the new requisition system they will get more bang for their buck...

So lets have a look at one of these lists and what I will be changing and how I hope it will play.
Lets start with Jakes2!!!
I love the concept of Jakes2 but often when playing her or writing lists for her I have found myself thinking that I might as well be playing Stryker2 as they share a very important spell - Positive charge.
When I created this list I had that in mind and really wanted to play to Jakes2's strengths as much as possible.
Here is the old version of the list:
Sword & Hammer
Theme: Heavy Metal 2 / 2 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army
Captain Allison Jakes +28
Squire (Free)
Hammersmith 12
Hammersmith 12
Hammersmith 12
Hammersmith 12
Hammersmith 12
Captain Arlan Strangewayes 4
Sword Knights - Leader & 9 Grunts 13
Sword Knights - Leader & 9 Grunts 13
Alexia Ciannor & the Risen - Alexia & 9 Risen Grunts 10
Thrall Warrior
Captain Jonas Murdoch (Free)
Field Mechaniks - Crew Chief & 3 Grunts 3
Here is the new theme for those who haven't seen it yet
And here is the list as I'm planning to run it with the new requisition system
Captain Allison Jakes +28
Squire (Free)
Squire (Free)
Hammersmith 12
Hammersmith 12
Hammersmith 12
Hammersmith 12
Hammersmith 12
Captain Arlan Strangewayes (Free)
Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress 4
Archduke Alain Runewood, Lord or Fharin (Free)
Sword Knights - Leader & 9 Grunts 13
Sword Knights - Leader & 9 Grunts 13
Alexia Ciannor & the Risen - Alexia & 9 Risen Grunts 10
Thrall Warrior
Field Mechaniks - Crew Chief & 3 Grunts 3
So whats changed? Well Murdoch is out as ranking officers aren't allowed in the theme anymore which is disappointing but we can deal with that.
Previously I was only getting Murdoch and the Squire for free, and now I'm getting Squire, Strangeways and Runewood for free! Not only that but we are able to add a merc solo in Heavy Metal now so I added Lanyssa to help up the threat range on my Hammersmiths.
I will add a disclaimer that I made a choice to not put models which have not been released yet into this list. Once the new Morrowan models are released I am very much looking to add them.
Gabriel Throne will most likely be replacing something in the list, most likely Runewood.
So the general idea is to try to leverage the feat and Positive charge as much as possible. The gaining parry part of her feat hadn't really come up for me before, but then I thought of Hammersmiths.
They have Chain attack smite, which slams models hit D6 away and the Hammersmiths rule "Follow up" allows them to advance that same distance directly toward the slammed model. Parry from Jakes' feat will keep them safe if they have to advance past enemy lines during this movement.
Positive charge will make the Hammersmiths MAT 9 which makes it much more likely that they will hit with both of their initial attacks triggering the chain attack.
And to top it off the eleaps from all these attacks will help kill of jamming models!
It can then try to kill either the model it slammed with bought attacks or a model nearby, triggering Sprint, Jakes' field marshal. This will help get it into position to buff the Sword knights with the Positive charge spell which is still on it.
Alexia will recycle the Sword knights when they die and provide Thrall Warriors to contest scenario elements and score flags.
That's the general idea of the list, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
I'm hoping to test this list out soon, and will let you all know how I get on.
What lists are you hoping to run with the new theme lists?
