My Boys in Blue are having a hard time of it.
Whenever I bring my Cygnar to the table, I end up losing horribly, feeling as though I had no chance. I never seem to have enough Focus to do anything - everyone else's 'jacks seem more focus-efficient than mine. My models don't seem to hit hard enough to achieve anything. My mobility always seems to fail before my opponent's superior speed.
It isn't the same with my Everblight. I mean, I'm still a relatively new player - I still lose a lot - but I usually feel like I've put a dent in my opponent's forces. I may not get Absylonia or some other deadly model into an angle to attempt an assassination, or the assassination might not always succeed, but at least I manage to wipe out a swath of my opponent's infantry and make him sweat trying to take out Typhon. Not so with my Cygnar, where I usually just feel ineffective. It's gotten to the point that I haven't even finished painting any of my Cygnar. It just doesn't seem worth it.
And now, I'm looking at my blue-primed lightning coils and thinking "I could probably trade these guys in and take a stab at Mercs, or Cryx - I really, really like the look of the Witch Coven - or even just buy more Everblight" and it makes me kind of sad. I want to keep at least one, vaguely heroic faction in my army bag!
So, talk me up here. Give me advice, help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, or just plain remind me why Cygnar is cool. Convince me to keep my boys in blue.
