Warmachine Tiered Army

Game Kastle has planned a 35 point Warmahordes Steamroller tournament on April 21. The rules are only tiered armies and the only mission is Demolition from the 2012 tourney pack. The question to be posed is: What tiered lists should I consider?

I'm leaning toward a shooty Blaize list and a Darius list, but I'm getting more proficient with pStryker to consider him.

Here are the lists under consideration:

Army Name: Blaize T4 A
Cygnar

35+6 points, 22 models

Constance Blaize +6 points

* Hunter 6 points

Archduke Alain Runewood 3 points
Harlan Versh, Illuminated One 2 points
6 Precursor Knights 5 points
6 Precursor Knights 5 points
* Precursor Knight Officer & Standard

Additional Rules:

Precursor Knights and Sword Knights gain +2 SPD during your first turn.
Heavy warjacks in Blaize's battlegroup without ranged weapons gain Advance Move.
