I want to make a army of just warjacks is this possible and what army is best for this?

You can make an army using just warjacks(or beasts) and a single caster depending on what point level you're talking about. Mangled Metal/Tooth and Claw scenerios make you do just that and every army can participate at low levels (15-20). After that certain casters do better than others. In a lot of instances you'll want a unit or two of troops just to avoid being swamped by your opponent.

quick answer:

Cygnar: Darius
Khador: Karchev
Menoth: Amon Ad Raza
Cryx: Mortenebra;

slightly more complicated answer: All-jacks armies work best at lower pointages (Max 35)

I like either Nemo over Darius for Cygnar. I think they are both better jack casters and better casters all around.

pVlad can also do all jacks pretty well.

i agree with the Above.

i am a Khador player. Karchev or pVlad can trash things with all jack lists. Karchev it built for it. and as it for that matter. Where as pVlad just kinda works... lol

Who's the lightning guy for Circle that channels in to the brick fellas?

Do that and you've got a tournament standard army, and a scummy one at that

@adameast

Umm not anymore. lots of things have immunity ot lightning now (Cygnar, Circle etc)

Kraye is also a pretty good Cygnar choice.

Krueger. eKrueger is an abusive scenario caster.

I was either thinking of doing a cygnar army or any of the hordes.

For khador it is very hard, if you can make a list use karachev as your warcaster

for the others its relativly easy cos they also have light warjacks

Menoth is the faction that has the easiest time running lots of warjacks competitively. You also have the most diversity with your all-warjack lists.

Warjack lists:
Cygnar: Nemo jack spam, Kraye 2-3 Heavies, 2-3 Lights, Darius couple Heavies, Sloan mass Defenders/Chargers/Hunters/Cyclone
Khador: pButcher + Zerks/Kodiaks spam, Karchev jack brick
Cryx: Mortenebra
Menoth: T4 Harby, Kreoss pop&drop, Amon Dervish spam, pSeverius jack wall, non-T4 harby jackwall

Of these lists, Cygnar's Kraye and the Menoth lineup are probably the most take-all-comers competitive.

However, you're not going to be running 100% warjacks with any of them. Jack support units/solos and mechanics are important. You'll also want a few key units/solos to do 'odd jobs' that you don't want to dedicate an entire warjack to, like sniping a blocking model or flanking outside of CTRL.

Ahhh I seeee, I haven't played since MK1 to be fair, just remember the only game I lost was to that brutal thing, in the second turn

Hey Adameast, youve got a transaction report against you in the trading forum.
