I'm going to go out tomorrow and buy a few models regardless if I play or not. I really like a lot of the sculpts but if I'm going to buy some models why not play too eh?

Here is what I'm looking it. I want Vlad because I think he is cool looking despite his stupid big shoulder pads. I like the assassins from Khador as well, they look pretty cool. And I like widowmakers, you can't beat those snipers. The one standing there all solemn the rest taking aim to really destroy someone's day. The warjacks are alright too and I suppose I'd end up including at least one. So how good would a group of that make up be? Terrible? I hope not.

That'll work well together. You should taker at least one jack so that you can use Vlad's feat. I recommend a Destroyer.

I guess that means I need to pick up some Widowmakers, too.

If you're looking for a Jack to take for Khador, especially for Vlad - go with Beast-09. He's amazing and is probably our best Melee jack, period.

I see the recommendation for a Destroyer, and it's a good one, but that's a jack I like with many other casters instead of Vlad. Still, it's not bad if you want to use just one jack and use his feat more reactively instead of offensively.

Assassins are awesome, just make sure you take the underboss as well since they become amazing with him. Just be careful of AOE's since they will die to just about any AOE that deviates onto them - but once they're in Melee they will just wreck stuff.

Also a Mortar is solid. And the Drakhun, he's like...extra solid.

Wow, I was suspecting half of this to be crap. Beast 09 seems like he would be pretty expensive points wise. Or could I run him in the first incarnation of my list?

I went out and bought Vlad today btw.

Beast-09 is about "normal" for our Jacks point costs, if a tad on the high side. Honestly if you pay 126 Points for a Destroyer, you don't mind paying the same amount of points for Beast.

It's a Khador thing, our jacks are more expensive than most others, generally. The thing is, if they hit something, it dies.

Also if you want to talk expensive it's all about the 172 Point Behemoth.

Somehow, every time I think of his points cost you really start to wonder if he's worth it, but I've had games where he has performed amazingly.

Unless what you're hitting is an earthborn Dire Troll. Sometimes then he survives, steals your pow and gets a strength boost from his buddy the mauler and EATS YOUR FACE!
That was a really fun game that one time that it works.
Then he just started Freezing Grip and shooting poor earthborn to death.

Vlad looks really cool though, quite versatile. It is a shame about his peripheral vision restricting shoulder pads.

That's why it's probably really good that Vlad isn't susceptible to free strikes. He probably can't
sneeze without unknowingly leaving someone's melee range.

Does anyone have a picture of their finished Vlad? I'm not sure if I want to put this cape on him or shave down those nubs for attaching the cape and call it a day. I was thinking of cutting down this shoulder pads a little too...

Edit: Also, what rule book do I buy? I see two at my FLGS.

Basic rules, buy Prime: Remix.

I screwed up the cloak on my Vlad, just painting it a leather brown and
calling it a day.

Use a Bouncer and transmute the ARM onto the Earthborn then use the Kriel stone Beaers aura that boosts ARM also. It works that the Bouncer is boosted first thena fter that is effected in, the Earthborn takes that modified ARM then adds in the aura's effect to himself. Quite amusing actually. Works damned fine on Angus as well.

I've been toying with differing looks of Khador lists and they are quite brutal as a whole. Vlad is actually damned nice ingame as well as a relatively sweet sculpt.

Try some of those Iron Fang Uhlans, those cavalry are damned nasty, and IIRC with that chap mounted from Legends (Not Fenris though he kicks it too) they get even better - Kovnik something or other.

Auretious Taak.
