Without further ado:

Skarre Queen of the Broken Coast -6
Deathjack 12
Stalker 3
Seether 8
Scarlock 2
10 Satixis Raiders & Satixis Raiders Sea Witch 6+2
Necrotech 1
Machine Wraith 1
10 Mechanithralls & Necrosurgeon 5+1

Total = 35

I love the Epic Skarre model and now I can use her in any game size, both the Deathjack and Seether make their own focus, are sweet models and benefit form Skarre’s choose to boost ability. The Stalker is now everything it should have been.

Satixis are fearless around E-Skarre, thematically pleasing and have anti warjack capabilities. The Necrotech and Machine Wraith benefit from a Warjack rich environment and Mechanithralls are cheap and potentially very numerous with the super cheap Necrosurgeon around.

I’ll play my first game tonight if I can print out the rules in time with this list I wrote in the old Mk I rules.

Pirate Queen Skarre 58/-6
Reaper 113/7
Slayer 110/6
Deathripper 38/4
Scarlock 16/2
10 Mechanithralls & Necrosurgeon 63+31/5+1
Necrotech 9/1
Machine Wraith 21/1
Bile Thralls 41/5

Total = 500/26

I’ll let you know how I get on.

Awesome! I really like that list. It's very close to my old Warmachine
list except it's much better. (I mean other than the Sacrificial Strike nerf).

George: Your list is downright ugly. 10 mechthralls + UA for 6 is NUTS. I am thinking that Satyxis may be under costed, as they have SPD7, DEF14, MAT6 and reach. I would have expected them be a bit higher than 6 for the full unit - especially since the high SPD and DEF offsets their low ARM - making their stats comparable with other factions' elite infantry - but costed the same as cannon fodder.

My old list came out to 29.

Irusk +6
Devestator -9
MOW DC (5) -9
Greylords -4
Widowmakers -4
Winterguard -4
Winterguard UA -2
Eyriss -3

As the points values seem to favor division by 10 with tweaks up and down for balance - on average, Khador seems to have received a mixed bag of rebates and increases... mostly rebates it seems. There appears to be no reason to take E-Sorscha now that her elite cadre is gone.

For 35 I might try the following:

Irusk +6
Devestator -9
MOW DC (5) -9
Assault Kommandos (10) -8
Widowmakers -4
Winterguard + UA, -4, -2
Greylords -4
Wardog -1

The dog does nothing for Irusk, but I had an extra point left over. The assault Kommandos seem to have improved synergy with Irusk, now on his feat turn, they can potentially shoot at RAT5+2 and then charge for 2 MAT6+2 attacks which can potentially do 3D6 under the effects of battle lust. Not bad.

Lol, you should have worked for the American Finance Committee.

I'm still riding high on her 1pt cost and increased abilities and Mcthralls are good vs. jacks (and there will be plenty of those about). I've just printed the stat cards out so I'll start thinking about optimal lists then.

The Necro Surgeon is also a counter to Alexia as they both use corpse tokens, oh the irony.

I finally got to play the E-Skarre list last night vs. the Butcher. The following has become apparent to me.

Range: I don't have any worth talking about. Most of the game Skarre sat on 3-5 Focus as she had nothing to cast.

Focus: I have a silly ammount of focus (10+) with this list. I need to find ways to spend it.

Necro Surgeon: At the end of the game the Necro surgeon had 13 tokens on her. 6 points for the Mcthralls isn't ugly, it's sick!

Satyxis: Arm 14, Stealth Satyx are pretty mean despite only killing three Winter guard.

Obedience: Deathjack and the Seether both being 100% in control and choosing to boost is nasty. The Stalker, though cheap would be better off swapped out for a Deathripper so I can start throwing about Black Spot.

I'm going to have a crack with Mortenebra next week

Nice! The sick part is that I can run this list myself.

I just need to pack the Cryx stuff next time...

I'd like to hear how it gets on Malf. I'd drop the Stalker and the Machine Wraith or Scarlock to take an Arc Node if I were you.
