Heya everyone, I have a small three game event to attend and I want to field Ironsides in all three games so I get more used to her before I start on my next crew box. What I was hoping for is some list suggestions please. I have a fairly broad selection of arcanist models to use but have no Marcus crew box so no suggestions of Miranda or beasts but almost anything else is ok.
The first round is reconnoiter with show of force, leave your mark, neutralise the leader, frame for murder and CL on flank deployment
Round two is extraction with catch and release, show of force, exhaust their forces, occupy their turf and CL with standard deployment
Round three is collect the bounty with hunting party, take prisoner, search the ruins, undercover entourage and CL with close deployment
what I am struggling with is writing a list for each round that will probably work cause I'm so used to going Ironsides warding ruins challenge crowd then captain warding ruins and patrons blessing with a blood ward mage then a gunsmith each time I try and write a crew that my average crew ends up at six or sometimes seven models. I was thinking of maybe trying the mech rider in the last game rather than the captain so I can push out a few extra minions but they will be coming in at half wounds so probably a bad idea and just give points away. I'm not really that fussed on where I come and just play for the fun of it but some help with lists from more experienced players to maybe get me at least one win would be a bonus haha so what list ideas for each round would you guys take if you were to play these rounds as Ironsides?
