I'm still waiting for the 3D printers to do their thing so I can actually have an Army Starter Set on my desk.

Whilst waiting I have been doing some completely theoretical thinking on what we actually can play out of the box. It seems that we can make a decent 50 points army. I have written it up (down?) here: https://greylordarchives.blogspot.com/2023/02/winter-korps-what-can-we-build.html

A warning is warranted: it turned out a bit longer than I expected.

Until next time.

For the Motherland!

Solid post! Thanks for breaking the box down for us. Looking good. My son and I ordered his Orgoth and my Khador in one go and we are so eager for them to arrive.

Good list. I think there's merit in a few builds for the jacks. I've been quite fond of the slam cannon and the Aggressive head is almost impossible to pass up. I've dropped the shield on my Dire Wolf to make room for other things. It still shield guards fine and the saw tends to do a decent job with melee.

Looks like a plan!

I'd consider the Unstoppable card. It is extremely useful for when you really need to get a model or unit somewhere useful past enemy melee ranges.

It's very powerful, but worth noting than Khador has a LOT of Unstoppable options. I think it's definitely useful and usually take it, but particularly after the expansion units are added I often find myself building lists that really don't need it.

I have been thinking the same. It is a very good card.

Yet, in the starter army the 'jacks are OK for unstoppable (at least at 50 points). The infantry I primarily see as doing shooting. They deliver about the same damage output (out of the box) when shooting. Obviously, they might be engaged and needing to go away before shooting, which might b partly solved with moving for screening, as it is model engaged when shooting. Nevertheless, if I were to change it, it would probably be for True Inspiration; tough is flimsy.

I'm still tentatively trying out Storm Legion lists these days in between my Convergence games. Jackspam seems popular with Athena, but I am especially curious about the upcoming Stormthrowers and their role in the army when they come out.

Got my starter set over the weekend and just really impressed with the product. Figures are all nice and chunky. Fantastic facial details. Great quality all around. Seems better than the preview box particularly the human figures compared to Baranova. I had one bad arm on a jack but it'll be replaced within the week I'm sure.

Being able to nearly put things directly on the table was the big surprise though. I spent a couple hours scouring the models for stuff to clean and found bits here and there, but for the most part I just needed to glue models on their bases and magnetize the jacks. Definitely lessens the dread for me of the big box of infantry.

Lucky! I'm waiting for mine
