Project: Weird Science

My friend Michael and I came up with a crazy idea: field an army of all Stormsmith type models. This was prompted by my purchase of two Storm Striders, Privateer Press' newest battle engine. They are wicked cool, and I can't wait to field both in the army.
The first iteration of the idea wasn't strictly Stormsmiths, I had the following list. It was just a generic attempt to utilize the Storm Striders in a pair, at 35 points.
  • General Adept Nemo
    • Firefly
    • Stormclad
    • Squire
  • Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team
  • Storm Strider
  • Storm Strider
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
Michael suggested then to drop the Black 13th for more Stormsmith stuff, so we generated the following 35 point list that is the idea of the Project.
  • General Adept Nemo
    • Firefly
    • Stormclad
    • Squire
  • Storm Strider
  • Storm Strider
  • Stormsmith Storm Tower
  • Stormsmith Storm Tower
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
Now that list has more delicious electric goodness! It also looks like a blast to play!
I then wanted to make it 50 points just in case someone decided to challenge me to that type of game at the store.
  • General Adept Nemo
    • Firefly
    • Stormclad
    • Thunderhead
    • Squire
  • Captain Arlan Strangewayes
  • Storm Strider
  • Storm Strider
  • Stormsmith Storm Tower
  • Stormsmith Storm Tower
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
  • Stormsmith Stormcaller
Sure, the list has some terrible matchups (an all electric immune army, which would be similar to this one, would be sucky to play against). It just looks like a ton of fun to shoot that much lightning around!

Here's a picture of the list in progress. I own everything, just didn't have it all with me when the photo was taken. The second Storm Strider is still in progress of assembly.

  1. Aw it's nice of you to build me a Cygnar army! Remember, I'd like it in purple! ;-)
