Ironstriders Cavilers

[Tiger9gamer]

So Looking at this formation it seems like a great way to get some firepower in the backfield. It would be cheap (point wise... Money wise it's 150$ for minimum size (holy carp)) and it seems like it would hit quite hard if you use more Gunners than Dragoons. Combine it with the skryer skull and you could wreck hidden tanks quite hard.

 

If ideal I think the list I would use would be 

 

x3 Dragoons with tasers

x2 Dragoons with Jezzerails

x3 Ironstriders with Autocannons

 

The total would be about 390 points for an outflanking strike force that comes in on turn 1 and can screen each other for cover without fear of cover saves.

I would not bother with Jezzails. The power of the Dragoons in cost-efficient S8 spam in melee to open tanks and kill MSU units. Trading that for one shot seems hardly worth it, if you ask me.

I know your probably right, and it's a good point. Just kinda want them to do something on the turn they come in?

 

Also the jezzails are heavy 2

I ditched the jeezails, I found my unit of 2 tasers very effective. A unit of 3 cavaliers with TL autocanons is awesome. Cheap, effective against light vehicles and flyers at 48"
