	'''Stormwall''': OH GOD YES! This thing is expensive, but worth every point if you build a list to properly support it. ~~It's~~ two big guns give firepower akin to two defenders, plus it packs a Cyclone's guns while not needing to lay down covering fire to use them. This while providing the usual Colossal benefits of insane survivability, melee hitting power (being a Cygnar jack it's pretty accurate), reach and thresher attacks, though if you chose to hammer with normal attacks, they have electro leap. As an interesting ability, it can throw down up to three of these things called a lighting pods that hits everything in a line between it and the pod with a fair POW electric attack that's boostable, and causes disruption on jacks. They also count as Stormsmith of one of them makes a call lightening attack. This is widely regarded as the best colossal thanks to the various ranged support Cygnar loves. The Stormwall is also capable of some interesting shenanigans, such as using its lightning pods as "Spark Nodes" for electro-leaps and using its lightning pods to block charge lanes and claim scenario scoring zones from impossible distances.

	'''Hurricane''': Like the Stormwall, this beast is expensive, but a very effective centerpiece for most Cygnaran armies. It carries two storm emitters; shorter range but heavier hitting versions of the Stormwall's big guns that have the added affect of knocking down heavy 'jacks and slamming aside infantry and light 'jacks, and two standard cannons with small aoe's and decent POW values. However, what makes this Colossal different from the Stormwall is the simple fact that it has an arc node, allowing it to become a crucial and durable centerpiece for your army while your caster bravely cowers behind its towering form. However, it lacks the sheer shenanigans and scenario presence that the Stormwall, specifically its lightning pods, are capable of.

	*'''Silverline Stormguard:''' The Silverline stormguard are an interesting unit that has one crucial benefit. These frontliners lack the necessary ARM and DEF to survive an infantry charge but that will never happen for one simple reason, they are completely immune to charges when BtB with each other. They also have access to an electrical damage buff, which for a faction that lives and breaths lightning, is pretty damn useful. These costly yet seemingly ineffective frontliners become true powerhouses when given access to Cygnar's plentiful defensive buffs.		*'''Silverline Stormguard:''' The Silverline stormguard are an interesting unit that has one crucial benefit.

	*'''Stormsmith Storm ~~Tower~~:''' A 20 foot disco ball that shoots lightning. Some may ask why, but you should be asking, why not? The Storm Tower is Cygnar's lone battle engine and it plays a key role in lightning oriented forces (The Stormnouns love this thing). It packs a punch with 2 defender strength shots a turn, as well as the added benefit of boosting the accuracy of nearby electrical ranged attacks.		*'''Stormsmith Storm Strider:''' A 20 foot disco ball that shoots lightning.

These armored dudes have seen centuries of battle and have adapted to the warjack - both on offense and defense. Though not all that resilient, they are cheap and can do massive damage with the help of Flank (Faction Warjack). They work well as a speedbumb, though they will need some buffs to really make the tick.		*'''Sword Knights:''' Before the Stormknights there were the Sword Knights, an extremely old order of knights sworn to the crown of Cygnar.

	*'''Captain Victoria Haley (Haley1):''' One of the only Cygnaran casters who doesn't buck the system on a regular basis, Haley leads the Third Army in a bitter war against Cryx, hoping to get revenge for her murdered sister. (Ah, irony.) An excellent spell-focused warcaster. Temporal Barrier is the spell she's best known for, but her other support abilities and feat are equally good. Hard-counters a large number of asshole feats and casters like eAsphyxious. Beware, though, she's pretty squishy, and she can't really run touchdowns on her own all that well and needs her army to win games. Mark I gave her a reputation as a "defensive" warcaster, but the changes from the new ruleset have done away with that.		*'''Captain Victoria Haley (Haley1):''' One of the only Cygnaran casters who doesn't buck the system on a regular basis, Haley leads the Third Army in a bitter war against Cryx, hoping to get revenge for her murdered sister.

	**'''Major Victoria Haley (Haley2):''' Promoted to major for killing her own sister, who had turned to Cryx, Haley is now the most powerful battle wizard in the Cyngarian military. A Big Three warcaster, and considered one of the best in the game. The Mistress of Time is also an alchemist; she turns her units into gold, and her enemies into shit. Super powerful abilities and spells, the best focus score in the faction, and one of the best feats in the game. Take care though: like her Prime counterpart she's very vulnerable to attrition, and, unlike many casters, she needs her army and ''cannot'' win a game by herself. And that eight focus won't go as far as you think it will since none of her spells are upkeepable. Take the character Light 'Jack Thorn with her - it gets so ridiculously annoying with her bond and her spells that your enemy might try and dedicate his entire force to killing it. It has an Arc Node which is just brilliant with Haleys 16'' control range and can get extremely mobile with her spells.		**'''Major Victoria Haley (Haley2):''' Promoted to major for killing her own sister, who had turned to Cryx, Haley is now the most powerful battle wizard in the Cyngarian military.

	**'''Major Prime Victoria Haley (Haley3):''' ~~Coming soon~~.		**'''Major Prime Victoria Haley (Haley3):''' Of all the Cygnaran warcasters, Haley3 is perhaps the strangest and the most difficult to master. Haley3 is also considered one of Cygnar's top 3 warcasters due to her high FOCUS statistic, and the INSANE level of shenanigans she can pull of. Primarily, the most obvious and over-utilized component of her spell kit is tactical supremacy, which combined with trenchers allows for a sweet, sweet 15 inch wide cloud. Overall, Haley3 has the tools to play all 3 strategies of warmachine, assasination (Haley Past), Control (Haley Present) and Attrition, (Haley Future) allowing her to become one of the most difficult but most rewarding 'casters in the Cygnaran arsenal.

	*'''Captain Jeremiah Kraye:''' Kraye is a man of such high principles that he left the military for a while once Vinter had his family arrested. He works with the CRS like Caine, but as more of a ranger than an assassin. Cavalry warcaster, gives his warjacks cavalry rules and makes them ridiculously fast, accurate, and mobile with his spells and feat. Makes Minutemen hilariously powerful. Has a number of bad matchups, but still incredibly fun when he works. He generally likes fast and accurate ranged strikes, and can be as "hit and run" as Cryx, though not as though due to their sheer numbers. Kraye is another 'caster who doesn't really like infantry too much, so be sure to bring self-sufficient units that play to his strengths, like Tempest Blazers or Rangers. He's also a ranger warcaster, so using terrain well is important too.		*'''Captain Jeremiah Kraye:''' Kraye is a man of such high principles that he left the military for a while once Vinter had his family arrested.

	***'''Artificer General Nemo & Storm Chaser Adept Caitlin Finch''' (3Nemo, N3mo and lNemo): Well, aside from getting a new sidekick... Specialist in electrical damage armed with a potent mixture of his previous incarnations' best spells and abilities. His spells mostly involve doing electrical damage or helping jacks (or both in the case of his Lightning Shroud), his control radius prevents electro-leaps from hitting things immune to electricity so they land where the damage is done. His feat gives an extra die to all friendly electrical damage rolls in his radius, and, armed with a weapon with Range:CTRL and an extendable control radius, can make him a deadly and unexpected assassin. It's funny how lightning bounces ignore lots of defensive tricks. Note that he comes with Caitlin Finch as an attached solo, so as of MK3 you CAN use a squire with him.		***'''Artificer General Nemo & Storm Chaser Adept Caitlin Finch''' (3Nemo, N3mo and lNemo): Well, aside from getting a new sidekick...

	*'''Captain Kara Sloan:''' Kara has actually been a sort of focus character since Mk. II started and Stryker stopped doing much of import. She's had many adventures, including pumping Irusk full of sniper bullets, falling in forbidden love with a Trencher Commando, and having to deal with the struggle between being a fundamentally decent person and making the harsh decisions of wartime that characterizes her faction in a nutshell. Sniping specialist warcaster, very much wants a small and shooty battlegroup but a mixed arms army. Usually you can play her as a classic shoot from afar, but taking a bunch of minutemen and playing up close is an unorthodox but terribly fun and effective playstyle. Anything with Assault is gold on her feat turn, and, just as the fluff would have you believe, Trencher Commandos are a nice choice. Since MKIII she has ~~been replace by Beth Maddox as~~ the ~~new Blond with~~ a ~~short haircut for~~ the ~~story~~ to ~~focus on~~.		*'''Captain Kara Sloan:''' Kara has actually been a sort of focus character since Mk.

Since MKIII she has become one of Cygnar's BEST warcasters, who previously had the ability to assassinate a caster at the top of turn 1. Because of the introduction of Power-up and the overall buffs to her spell list, she can easily shoot ARM skew armies off the table before they reach her gunline.

	*'''Commander Coleman Stryker (Stryker1):''' The previous story-central character, and the faction's "golden boy." This guy comes in the starter box for Cygnar, and it's easy to see why. He's easy to learn, being a primarily support caster with decent fighting skills and one piss-poor ranged attack that nonetheless deals Disruption to help him out of tight spots. Because he synergizes well with everything, no other caster in the game that will teach you how to use your army more effectively than him. People usually drop him for advanced play, because he doesn't specialize in anything, but that's not quite fair. He may lack outstanding strengths, but he ''also'' lacks real weaknesses. If nothing else, he's got Earthquake and Snipe on the same spell list, and '''no''' caster with that spell combo in a ranged-heavy army is ever '''truly''' uncompetitive.		*'''Commander Coleman Stryker (Stryker1):''' The previous story-central character, and the faction's "golden boy."

However, thats not what makes them shine: remember, this is Cygnar, even our swords shoot you, and the Storm Lances do that in spades. With a combination of assault and decent range, good POW guns, they are one of Cygnar's most potent ranged units, despite being MELEE models.		*'''Storm Lances:''' God's gift to Cygnar.

However, behind his seemingly innocent vale of infantry buffing is a masked homicidal maniac. With the combined special rules of stealth, weapon master, anatomical precision and killing spree, this trencher can chew through an ENTIRE single wound infantry unit, regardless of armor values and can do similar to multi-wound infantry as well.		*'''Captain Maxwell Finn:''' Overcosted, and kind of gimmicky, but still awesome.

Laddermore is the answer. She has the ability to buff Storm Lances' ranged attacks, making them more accurate and hit harder, officially making Storm Lances one of the best ranged units in the faction.
	*'''Captain Arlan Strangeways:''' Best repair skill in the game + free focus each turn = great support solo for any caster. Ironically, while he and Nemo can't stand each other in the fluff, he synergizes perfectly with ''every'' version of the old man. However, he's about as fragile as a Stormblade and his combat skills are mediocre at best, so keep him in the back glued to a gunner 'jack.		*'''Captain Arlan Strangeways:''' Best repair skill in the game + free focus each turn = great support solo for any caster.
