So i bought the Cryx starter set mostly to use for 40k counts as, but a buddy just bought a Khador starter set, so i guess we're gonna play some warmachine

Anyway, what do i gotta watch out for with Khador? I see my biggest advantage is speed and numbers, but he has range and durability.

Just don't get hit! Haha but that shouldn't be an issue against the jacks. The RAT of the Destroyer isn't so great and Cryx in general have very good defense. Sorscha herself can be dangerous she has pretty good mobility with one of her spells... I've seen some folks end games quick because they are able to get her up field pretty fast and pull off a caster/lock kill.

One thing that might give you trouble is the high ARM of the Khador Jacks. They're easy to hit... But damaging them can be difficult.

I'm not sure what else to watch for... I actually haven't played in years...

Well he is using Sorscha1, be wary of her incredibly long assassination threat, if you leave Deneghra without any camp and within 20 inches of Sorscha, she'll probably end up killing her. (Windrush, boundless charge, feat = 2 fully boosted attacks and one without a damage boost all auto hitting)

But hit her with your feat, which is one of the best in the game. And it's goodbye Sorscha.

Agreed, I love me some pSorscha. But, she does have limits. In Battlebox games she can be a real terror. Make good use of your Arc Nodes and stay back from the front lines until you are ready. Khador can be slow, but hit like trucks. But also don't assume that they are as slow as their stats say.

Boundless Charge on a Juggernaut can get it into your face quicker than expected. Or, Sorscha herself can be a real pain with how fast she can be. Khador Warjacks are focus hungry, and Sorscha really doesn't like running more than one 'Jack. Keep in mind that she will be focus starved for a good chunk of the game and use that to your advantage.

So we played our game and i was victorious. My Slayer and a Deathripper dogpiled his Juggernaught and killed it with some Power Attacks and his Destroyer eventually got whittled down by a Deathripper and a Defiler. I won by being aggressive when necessary and being absolutely vicious with the magic, he lost by not being aggressive enough and having some absolutely horrible rolls.

Edit: I am, however, 90% sure we where doing feats wrong as we used them every turn.

Yes, you guys did feats wrong haha. It is once per game during the Warcaster activation. I can see how you demolished him haha. Denny's feat is gnarly. And Sorscha's isn't that bad if you have the focus to spare.

Thats what we figured, he conceded after i wrecked his last Jack, cuz i couldnt catch Sorscha.

Oh well, it happens. Try playing again. Should be a much more fun game. Feats can be challenging when learning the many ways to use them and at what time and against who. Part of the fun for myself.
