Used to run Vlad a lot with a variety of Khador forces, however I like the Kharchev model quite a bit, so he's been dust-brushed. I've been using him with some success, pushing almost exclusively jack forces. Of course, there are issues using a force so lacking in depth, but it seems to be the best synergy. I've gotten good use with him and a pair of Kodiaks (their steamship boilers freeing up some of his paltry 5 focus), but have been at loose ends coming up with a really good third jack for him. I typically play him, 3 jacks and some Demo Corps. What other kinds of line ups have you used him with that you've experienced any really good synergy with? I'd say the best line up I had with him was a 750, running him, behemoth, 2 kodiaks, a destroyer, a juggernaut. If my deployment hadn't been deplorable, I'd have gone through my opponent slick.

I like the Berserker with Karchev. +1 MAT and Unearthly Rage makes this jack very dangerous, especially with the headbutt chain attack to set up Kodiak charges. It's probably your best choice for Trampling, too, as it has that cumulative +1 to hit/damage for each time he hits in a turn.

It's been a while since I've used Karchev, so I couldn't tell you what lists I've used, but I do recall liking the Berserker with him.
