Not Cygnar's strong suit, but you can get pretty close by going jack heavy. The Centurion chassis is generally comparable to Khadoran jacks. Cygnar's infantry typically is of the "fragile specialist" variety.
I'd probably point you towards Darius, Jakes2, or one of the Nemos. There's a case to be made for Stryker1, as well.
Well everyone knows Incindiarii are shit. No need to retread the same ground a billion times. Also:

So do you guys have any advice on painting faces and other small details? I just did my first go over or my Jakes1 (which I will be running as a regular Journeyman), and the face is driving my nuts.
I dunno if I'd go that far. I think Cygnar can field tough, stompy shit with greater ease/variety than Retribution or Legion. It just means that you'll mostly be playing in Heavy Metal, but Cygnar has lots of casters that can thrive there.
I mean, Stryker1 is pretty bland but he's still more or less THE caster for ARM skew. If your opponent doesn't have good upkeep hate, they're gonna be dealing with a lot of ARM22+.
Watch tutorials on YouTube. Read tutorials on various miniature forums. Google: painting faces warhammer tutorial. As always, thin your paints And use Citadel Shades (or ArmyPainter washes), this makes the biggest difference for beginner painter.
I just apply one layer of Skintone (any brand) to the entire face and wash it light brown (again any brand). Fast, easy, looks okay. Painting eyes is for people with spare time.
Heavy Metal is such a mutable theme. I mean you got Stryker1 double stormwall, Caine3 charger spam, Kara gun line, Kraye run and gun, Darius double stormwall, Darius Jack spam, Nemo Jack spam in any of his incarnations, Jakes2 melee hit and run, Stryker3 jacks....
