So I started with the Battlebox, got a War Dog, and then a Manhunter...this took me to a playable list. I have a few ideas about what I want to do next but wouldnt mind getting some thoughts on how this list would work out. Heres what Ive planned:

Sorscha
War Dog
Juggernaut
Destroyer
Manhunter
Kell Bailoch
Widowmakers
8 man unit of IFP
Greylord Ternions

I had lain out a plan for this...I figured Id advance with the IFP defensively on one flank and Sorscha with her bodyguard running the center. Id rely on the Widowmakers and Kell to hold back the fast infantry units or light jacks. I figured that people would be more likely to be afraid of the mass of beef rolling up on them to worry about the snipers, but these things seldom work out as I imagine them.

Sounds like an interesting balance of shooty and Punchy. In my experience, Khador really likes to do one or the other, but not both at the same time. I would actually, with Sorscha, pull either your Widowmakers or Ternion for a more punchy unit like Men-of-War or the Greatbears. The points will need to be juggled a bit, but Sorscha is much better running an aggressive rushing army. You need to keep a bit of shooting goodness as support, but ONLY as support. Also, you need to know, in MKII you can only have 6 or 10 man squads of IFPs. There is no incremental increase per soldier like there was in MKI. It is 5 points for 6, or 8 points for 10.
Hope this helps!

Thats a pretty good list actually, might have to steal it myself

Things I always use when taking Sorscha:

Widowmakers - Kills infantry dead - ALWAYS TAKE THEM!!! They go well with your warcasters feat too.

Greylord Ternion - These guys have won me games from either protecting my 'jacks to freezing enemies to my personal fave - blasting Warcasters with Spray Attacks - has won me two games

Juggernaut/Beast 09 - I prefer taking either of them with Butcher, but Beast with Sorcsha is just craziness.

Manhunters - I always take a trifector of Manhunters and Yuri the Axe. They are good at killing pretty much anything and can distract your enemy from going after your caster.

Destroyer - There is or at least was a tactic called 3D, which was an army that consisted of Sorscha and 3 Destroyers. It was really good and won tons of tourneys. The idea was to pop sorchas feat and then obilterate the WC with mass Bombard fire. It worked until they nerfed her feat, but it's still effective now, just not as effective as before.

Man-o-war Demo Corps - Put the Ternion behind these guys and watch them march up the board and destroy nearly whatever they want. Seriously, these guys are amazing!!! Only problem is their speed, but if they get there you won't be disappointed.

The Great Bears - OMG, if you have IFP, you have to take these guys. They are verging on broken in Mk1. These guys have brought more games back from the jaws of defeat than any other unit I own. I've had them hold their own against 'jacks, beasts and 'casters. Their best performance was tearing apart an Ironclad, a Hunter, the 13th Gun Mages and Caine, all in one game. They passed their tough roll a staggering 13 times. That was at a tourney and was the only reason I got 4th place (which was a bit of a bummer because I won the year before).

Well I hope this helps.

Oh BTW - take WG Mortars. Those things rock with Sorscha. Only reason I don't have any is because my FLGS always sells out of them on delivery days.

i would get beast 09, playtest your jugger as the beast and youll see why. as a bonus he gets a buff for working with sorsha, but i use him with butcher in all my games.

barring that i always like 2 manhunters and yuri the axe.

The few times I've used my Khador army it has been to field Fenris and Doomreavers.

I think I'll have to try them with Butcher next chance I get. (shiny new sculpt!)

I hate these guys, but I spose if they are on your side then they rock.

I am still pretty new to the game, but the Greylords took out my Defiler, a ton of McThralls, and put a hurt on ol Asphyxious. My opponents dice were hot, but even if they hadn't been, it still would have hurt

Yeah the dice don't need to be hot for the ternion to do dmg.
