[Khador] Khador Army Builds from squee

Za Rodinu, mates!

Chris 'ere; despite our relative inactivity in the forums here is my 2 cents; let's start faction threads on army builds so that newbies can gain insight into how their factions units perform. For easier reading try listing in the following format...

ARMY NAME: X-points FACTION army
CASTER: e.g: Butcher of Khardov
BATTLEGROUP 1: list units
BATTLEGROUP 2 (if applicable): list units
SUPPORT: Things like pikemen, artillery, solos, etc.
HOW DOES IT WORK?:

So, fellas; tell us how you mop the floor with the opposition!

New to Khador? Well congratulations, you've picked the right faction newbie! You too are welcome to tell us how you plan to use that shiny new starter to bring frosty death to your foes! Go on then; don't be shy.

Sample Army:

Army Name: Iron Rain; 15 point Khador Army
Caster: The Butcher of Khardov
Battlegroup: Butcher - 2 Destroyers.
Support: Winter Guard Mortar Crew.

How does it work?

The 2 Destroyers move up, maintaining pressure as they load shell after shell into the enemy.

Butcher hangs back lending his focus and the threat of a retaliatory assault on any who would harm his 9-tonne shell-lobbing babies.

The mortar crew's job is, after finding some good hard cover, to sit and shell enemy positions or try and take out sneaky solos with a lucky scatter.

This list is fairly solid but watch out for assault and speed oriented builds like those played by fellow kommanders like Vladimir and Strakhov.

This list's strength lies in its equal proficiency in melee and ranged combat, but be mindful of dedicated melee lists who will make a mess if they get the drop on you.

If faced with a dedicated ranged army, the Destroyers have to literally go in and bite the bullet, giving Butcher some support as the safest place to be while fighting shooters is to be amidst their ranks and scything through them like stalks of grain.

Army Name: pimp-slap surprise; 15 point Khador Army
Caster: The Butcher of Khardov
Battlegroup: Butcher - Devastator, War Dog.
Support: Koldun Lord - marshalled Devastator.

Plough forward, soak up abuse and sweep aside all before you. The list is simple; deliver Butcher to charge range of enemy caster and keep him covered.

Army Name: Strakhov's Flying Circus; 15 point Khador Army
Caster: Kommander Oleg Strakhov
Battlegroup: Strakhov- Beast-09.
Support: 5 Man 'o' War Demo Korps, Reinholdt.

How does it work?
Strakhov casts superiority on Beast and occultation on the demo korps. Keep running towards the enemy until charge range then on charge turn, load 3 focus onto beast, pop feat and watch as your whole army sails into the enemy battlelines.

Army Name: Strakhov's Flying Circus; 25 point Khador Army
Caster: Kommander Oleg Strakhov
Battlegroup: Strakhov- Torch.
Support: 5 Man 'o' War Demo Korps, Reinholdt, Koldun Lord- Devastator.

How does it work?
Strakhov casts superiority on Torch and occultation on the demo korps. Keep running towards the enemy until charge range then on charge turn, load 3 focus onto Torch, pop feat and watch as your whole army sails into the enemy battlelines; hammers rising and grenades going off everywhere. Torch focuses on the heaviest target it can find and rips it a new one.

The Devastating Toaster list

Nightmare for whoeva face tiz list
for me well pilot this list is an nightmare too....

Wha.... all Butcher?

Here's my basic Sorscha army that I have in mind:

15pt:
Army Name: Battle Box Extended
Caster: Kommander Sorscha
Battlegroup: pSorscha - Beast-09 - Destroyer
Support: none

Works as both assassination or whittling down section of your opponent's army one at a time. Sorscha's positioning is very important here.

25pt:
Army Name: Mini Death Star
Caster: Forward Kommander Sorscha
Battlegroup: pSorscha - Beast-09 - Destroyer
Support: Min Winter Guard, Winter Guard UA, Kovnik Joe, Reinholdt.

Haven't tried this one, but it's a plug and play variant of the above in case you have to play 25 pts. Of course, a real plug and play with pSorscha would be:

25pt:
Army Name: Sneaky Ambushes
Caster: Kommander Sorscha
Battlegroup: pSorscha - Beast-09 - Destroyer
Support: Max Kossites, Widowmakers.

I'm going to change the list above a bit. The thing is, I don't like infantry that much (though I'd like to try out the WG Death Star), but I like Sorscha. So, here's my build-up from 15 to 50. It's jack heavy Sorscha.

Army Name: Basic 15 (2 jacks)
Caster: Kommander Sorscha
Battlegroup: pSorscha - Beast-09 - Destroyer
Support: none

Army Name: 25 Bump up (3 jacks)
Caster: Kommander Sorscha
Battlegroup 1: pSorscha - Beast-09 - Destroyer
Battlegroup 2: Koldun Lord - Kodiak

Army Name: 35 Mallet (4 jacks)
Caster: Kommander Sorscha
Battlegroup 1: pSorscha - Beast-09 - Destroyer
Battlegroup 2: Koldun Lord - Kodiak - Destroyer
Support: Reinholdt

Army Name: 50 Hammer (6 jacks)
Caster: Kommander Sorscha
Battlegroup 1: pSorscha - Beast-09 - Destroyer
Battlegroup 2: Koldun Lord - Kodiak - Destroyer,
Battlegroup 3: Man-o-War Kovnik - Berserker - Berserker
Support: Reinholdt

This is a build up list, hence there's that weird Kodiak and Reinholdt bit there. At least the Kodiak can do a lot of good by its lonesome, so I'm not complaining. Building up to 50 will take a while but I'm in no hurry. At least I don't have to paint oodles of infantry this way :p

The list doesn't strain a lot of focus from poor Sorscha, who most likely will spend most of it on herself. The theme here is focus efficiency as well as maximum output. I think a lot of finesse will go into playing these lists, but one thing for sure, each battle group will be taking out 1 portion of the enemy army.

Well Quite nicely planed out cant wait to see it in action

Verra noice.

My own army:

ARMY NAME: 25 point Khador force
CASTER: The Butcher of Khardov
BATTLEGROUP 1: Butcher - 3 Marauders, Destroyer, War Dog.
How does it work?: Move in a T-formation with Butcher and Destroyer back. Keep up pressure with gun, fan out slightly with Marauders and prepare to pounce on any heavy that gets too close.

Scary Boss...1st toaster Roti Bakar now Bowling pulak

Got a brainstorm about an army that I might not like to paint. But see how ^.^

Tier 4 pSorscha at 35. It's tight, but I think it can work.

Battle group: Kommander Sorscha - Beast-09 - Berserker - Berserker (really going with focus efficient jacks here. Hopefully it won't tax poor Soscha's focus to much)
Support:
2x Min WG Rifle Corps
1x WG Mortar Crew
Kovnik Joe (who's free btw)
Widowmakers

It's a range spam list. Went with the Rifle Corps because of Ranked Attack and suppressing fire if nothing else. But yeah, if someone is brave enough to try this, they're welcome But the thought of painting 23 models scare me :S

Looks like a very balanced and also focus efficient list

Read yer blog bout wanting ta play a jack-heavy Sorscha list. Recommended dis 'un.

At 25 points:

Sorscha – Beast-09, Juggernaut

War Dog

Koldun Lord – Destroyer

Now all you need is the battlebox, a character jack and 2 solos.
You don’t wanna strain Sorscha with too many jacks, so always assign jacks to marshals where possible. Destroyers are always good with Koldun Lord cos of his mad power boostin’ skills + jack marshal free boost. Good reliable artillery that uses up none of Sorscha’s precious focus!

At 35 points:

Sorscha – Beast-09, Juggernaut

War Dog

Koldun Lord – Destroyer.

4 Widowmakers
Widowmaker Marksman
Kell Bailoch
Gorman Di Wulfe

At this point most people are gonna start swarming you with infantry, and other than planting two Devastators to plow through them like I do, the Widowmaker firing team is good for thinning the herd a little as well as wasting solos and finishing off jacks and beasties. Gorman is there simply because he’s awesome and can really ruin your opponent’s day.

Juggernaut? The sucker is a focus hogger, that one. I like the recommendation though If the Marauder is more focus efficient, I might try out with that instead. Now I just need meself a Koldun Lord and Gorman.

If any of you kind souls have a spare of either of those please contact me

i doubt Wolf would be reading this lol...

Meep? Wot's Wolf got to do with Juggernaut being a focus-hogger?

ARMY NAME: 25 point Khador force 'Pinball'
CASTER: The Butcher of Khardov
BATTLEGROUP 1: Butcher - 4 Marauders, Koldun Lord, War Dog.
How does it work?: Move in a T-formation with Butcher and one Marauder back. Fan out slightly with Marauders and prepare to pounce on any heavy that gets too close. Koldun Lord is there to clear swarms and add a focus point to any marauder that needs it.

Marauders for cracking jacks and beasts, Butcher for clearing out infantry.

It's not rocket science...

I can demo to you dipping method... If you want la.

gliblit> Is it just my imagination or are all your posts out of context?

I mean, neouchujin, I can show you some speed painting method if you want.

Uh...why are you replying to neonuchujin when he hasn't posted on this thread? Dude, you sure you're in the right thread?

I think Neon is a big boy now he got many things to do and many errands to run therefore I hardly see him post anything
And Butcher is blur
