BatleCollege tells us: Haley is as respectable a force in melee as at range. With a MAT:6 and seven points of focus she can go after lightly armored targets. If she's used Temporal Barrier her MAT effectively boosts up to a nine! If she just hangs back and aims her hand cannon at things mired in the TB she's effectively RAT:10, and few things can evade her shots. Haley's relatively difficult to hit, and if she has any vulnerabilities it's that she's got a low ARM and few damage points for a warcaster. A few good solid hits on her and she's dead meat, so models like Pistol Wraiths are a serious threat.This is why she is usually fielded with a Journeyman warcaster. The Journeyman can slap an Arcane Shield on Haley to bump her armor to a more respectable level. Still, you have to be cautious of the Cryx assassination lists. A Skarre Bomb will kill Haley just about every time if she isn't overcharged or doesn't have Arcane Shield on her, and if she's not holding focus points for Arcane Vortex, an assassination run from the Witch Coven of Garlgast will be lethal.

THE SKORNE
The Skorne are crossing over the harsh Stormlands to conquer the soft peoples of Western Immoren. They are born and bred for battle, having engaged in inter-house warfare for centuries before uniting for this grand invasion. They control their massive warbeasts with precise applications of pain and drugs and their warriors strive to outdo each other in melee to earn personal honor and a chance to be Exalted after death. In Skorne philosophy, the strong exist to dominate the weak, and the Skorne are strong indeed.
Battle College has some good information about the Warpack Box:

THE TOWER OF POWER
What is the Tower of Power?
---
The Tower of Power is a simple and highly effective combination of Siege's spells Higher Ground and Foxhole with 10 Long Gunners. Both templates can be placed over one another, and all the Long Gunners, along with a solo or 2, can be piled into them. While within the Tower, the Long Gunners have: +6 Defense against ranged and magic attacks; the ability to ignore any small based model when drawing LOS to their target; immunity to blast damage; and what is effectively Ranking Fire with all the models that are also in the Tower. The enemy can only target the front line of Long Gunners as well, giving the Long Gunners a survivability they usually lack, since they are not lined up in a row and need not worry about AOEs.
