I've only played a very few number of games but I have been using sorscha as my caster and I find she can run one jack very well and two at a stretch. A third jack is going to be more than she can handle. You might want to look at including some infantry instead.


So instead of the torch maybe a min unit of winter guard (4pt), standard bearer/officer and officer (2pt), Two Rockets (2 pts) and Kocnik Jozef (2pt)

Thank you for your reply,
and yes it kinda stretches her out having 3 jacks im just preparing my army for strakhov and buying all that well cost me a pretty penny indeed so if you have any other ideas for 10pts(Wich aren't that expensive ) please show 'em

If you'er pushed to get a third jack you could get one like the Kodiak or the berserker. Both these jacks are less focus intense as they don't require a focus to run or charge. But they don't equal 10 points on their own.

You could get;

Full unit of rifle corp with Kocnik Jozef

Drop the wardog and get a full unit of man-O-war bombardiers

But I am not personally familiar with these options. I mean it might not matter too much if you swapping casters later on. It is just at that point you will have trouble maximizing the potential of the jacks with Sorscha.

Also I have't heard any good stuff about Assault Komandos.

To run Strakhov there is really one thing you need and that is a good warjack to take advantage of his feat and murder the enemy caster. There are several good options for this, with Spriggan probably being the most obvious. Bulldoze + superiority + iron fist = 13 charge + reach that gets to move other models out of the way. Use this to slingshot the spriggan at the enemy caster for a quick kill. Other good warjacks for this are Torch, Beast 09, and personally I like black ivan to make the most out of the def boost from superiority (and he comes with bulldoze as well). Other than that Strakhov like melee infantry, doom reavers and iron fangs are his best friends, but EVERY khador warcaster likes a winter guard deathstar except maybe Karcheve.

Strakhov's strength lie in that he can give melee troops a longer threat range than many ranged troops. Combine this with the fact that khador has some of the best melee troops and suddenly those long gunners and trenchers are easy pickings.

Everyone's right that sorcha can really only run 2 jacks. Best jack choice for both sorcha and strakhov to share is beast. Sorcha rocks wwith beast. I love spriggan with strakhov, but beast with superority and feat is silly killy.

Strakhov really has trouble even running two jacks. Between upkeeps and spells he really doesn't have alot of focus. Spriggan or beast in my limited experience are best. With feat and reach they have a 13" threat range.

Other than that sorcha and strak seem to like different troops. Wg death star is always solid. Kayazy are another great staple. I'd steer aay from AK's they're really only good for killing light infantry, so they're a high armour unit who can really only do one thing effectively. Get wg, kayazy, or iron fangs instead.
