I have decided to take Tallion Charter – a legacy army based around Pirates.

The plan in the list is to have strong ways to deal with most opponents. Plus trying out the new defenses cmd cards. I’ve not played either of these lists a great deal, but I think they will be fun to play for 6 rounds and have a lot of OK matchups.
The Bart list has very strong shooting presence, which should make the comparison to the more melee based Fiona list an interesting choice. Neither list has a terrible long threat range, but both have tricks.
I am a bit disapointed I don’ t have more Longgunners, or Cannons or River Raider models in the list, but I think what I have works better. Its possible the Devil Shadow Mutineers are bad choice, but I think they have some fun options. (Could be 2 cannons or long gunners, or a mix of them/river raiders) Might be more powerful. Lord Rockbottom, only has 2 targets in the list really – and he is so very good on Cannons or Long gunmen, and more ambushers can be really nice into some matchups for Bart.
Will see how it goes. Doc Killingsworth is a recent addition to the Bart list – bringing 4+ tough should net some points back, makes him very worthwhile killing – and he’s a good model to hug a flag.
