Well folks, last weekend was Florida-con aka The Crucible. I want to point out some very interesting things I observed.
First my lists.
Haley2 - Storm Division Stormwall Thorn Squire Storm Lances (max) Storm Lances (min) Katherine Jr Firefly
Stryker1 - Heavy Metal Stormwall x2 Charger Squire Arlan Jr Charger Jakes Charger
Second, 2 of my 3 losses came from playing against convergence (mainly cause I had no knowledge how to play them). Also I lost every match I used Haley2 which was the only times I played CoC. This is very interesting to me because while Storm Lances have been cried about, whined about, and complained about. Every single one of my opponents had a gun line or a list just as fast as mine. Don't get me wrong I do think Storm Lances should lose eleap on the gun and Katherine should lose her +2 to hit buff part but overall people were coming prepared to fight lances and it worked forcing me to play my other list everytime. I also want to point out 3 of my games I dropped Stryker, I didn't lose a single model. His list is a tough one to crack.
Figured its something I share that is all.

That is interesting news. Makes sense though with how much people complain about SL. Thanks for sharing!

One question to your Stryker List? Why not put Strykers Charger on Jakes?

I have given up on Storm Lances and just run Heavy Metal for both lists, Storm Lances are great, but if everyone is bringing a plan for them then they become a liability.

Convergence are a tough ask for Cygnar in my view. I generally hope to avoid them in tournaments-I don't feel I have good answers for good CoC players...and dirt cheap shield guards are borderline ridiculous.

Thx for the mini-report!
Do you know who/what won the masters? Or know where I can get standings/lists?

One question to your Stryker List? Why not put Strykers Charger on Jakes? Simple, you want to have 18 points on a model that can be removed trivially with some good shooting?

Yeah, people in my meta keep trying to convince me to bring a storm lance list. They don't get why I'm playing Heavy Metal almost exclusively. All of their lists are teched for lances, of course. It's fine by me, because I like jacks and sword knights.
