Thoughts on Stormblade Captain
Stormblade Captain in a nutshell
The Stormblade Captain is simultaneously a Storm Knight support model (most useful to allow Storm Lances to run straight over the Silver Line Stormguard), a Jack Marshal, and a respectable melee solo.
Combos & Synergies
- Storm Knight models for Tactician.
- Whatever warjack he marshals - suggestions are the Sentinel (as ever) or if you're going for Storm Knights, the Firefly

Drawbacks & Downsides
- He tries to do too many things, and you pay for all of them at once.
