A rogue with a badge isn’t supposed to be this effective. We open the case file on Allister Caine and the Hellslinger Starter Cadre. How a rule-breaking gun mage, a rebuilt Black Thirteenth, and a purpose-built warjack named Deuce became Cygnar’s sharpest scalpel on the modern battlefield. From the stolen skyship that saved his daughter to a promotion earned by the spymaster who once hunted him, Caine’s story is messy, human, and surprisingly tactical.

We connect the dots from early gun mage education to the Arcane Tempest’s formal training, mage lock firearms, and the doctrine that made precision fire a strategic pillar. Dixon Lynch’s innovations, the myth of the Hellslinger Phantom, and the recommissioned Black Thirteenth give this cadre real lineage. On the table, that history turns into tools: Caine’s witchmark into calamity sequencing, smart rack picks like Snipe or Deceleration, and Teleport that rescues overreach. Deuce backs the plan with true sight through clouds and stealth, arcane munitions that flex into blast or decrepitation, and focus economy near gun mages that keeps the damage rolling.

Bastian Falk holds the center with leadership that grants Reciprocate—miss us and you get punished—and a rune-forged scattergun that sets models ablaze or breaks armor where it counts. The Black Thirteenth—Ryan, Watts, and Glover—bring brutal damage, Pathfinder, Reposition, and chain attack control that forces your opponent to respect every lane. We share what clicks, what needs finesse, and where lore and balance meet in a cadre that feels fast, surgical, and dangerously fun.

If you love sharp lore, tighter lists, and hobby energy that spills into organized play, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share with your local meta, and drop a review with your two must-pick rack spells for Caine. What combos are you riding into your next game?
