So i have played warmachine a little bit now and undertand it a little bit (mostly playing with one friend)
and now i want to play at FLGS, but i dont want to get rofl stomped.... saw some of the people and they were all really good.... even when they werent trying.

so i figure if i have a good list that would help me not get beat so bad and learn the game faster

so without further ado here is ze list.

Scaverous +5
skarlock 2
deathjack 12
nightwrech 4
nightwreth 4
leviathan 9
Mechthralls (full) 9
2x Brute thralls 2
Necrosurgeon 2

Plus my friend pointed out that i managed to do his tier list so 2 free Necrotechs

the idea behind the list was simple
1) Deathjack <3 big stompy killy and focus efficent
2) mechthralls troops and hit hard (dat combo strike)
3) brute thralls had points xD
4) nightwretch aoe's and arc nodes win win
5) Leviathan ping them up
6)necrosurgeon because more Mcthralls

The idea behind this list is that the death jack just runs in and wrecks them, while the thralls folow after for bodys. scaverous moves thigs and debuffs to make killing athem easier or caster kill.
and leviathan pings EVERYTHING plus if they have importnant solos they go splat

idk if this would actually work but i like it on paper

so help comments etc?


P.S. Halp is not misspelled

Just a heads up. You will still get pasted be vets who know what they are doing. This game has a lot more thing going on than most others. And until you can see it all, you will get surprised a lot. But, that's how you learn. Tell these people you are new and when they kill you, make sure they explain how it works.

I don't like the Leviathan in this list. It's too much of a focus hog, and you don't have any Warwitch Sirens to help run the Nightwretches. Myself, I would drop the Leviathan to add two Warwitch Sirens. Then remove the McThralls and company to add a max unit of Bane Thralls+UA and Saxon. That leaves you with a point to spend.

Err, the list doesn't really need Saxon as Scaverous has Ghost Walk. Other than that I kinda agree.

Saxon is there to allow you to get more TKs off.

I would like to do banes but models I don't have so I an doing thralls.

Also I an pretty new to warmachine and I was looking at Saxon. Why is he good? I don't understand XD

Though I was thinking about changing the leviathan for a seether or a slayer and a pistol wraith.

But as I said before so explain why cause I an quite new so I don't know what is "best"
