Alright , I have never played a game and as yet do not have any minis , so I'm rattling around a few ideas before purchasing . As with most of my purchases , it will generally be minis I like not necessarily those that do the best . Here's a little list I came up with -

Kommander Sorscha
Beast 09
Decimator
Destroyer
2 x Battle Mechaniks (4)
Widowmakers
Winter Guard Infantry (L+5) + Officer & Standard + 3 x Rocketeers
Winter Guard Field Gun
Winter Guard Rifle Corps (L+5)
Widowmaker Solo
Grigorovich (free)

I'm also liking the Man-O-War , Uhlans and Vladimir minis . Suggestions , comments or concerns welcome .

I would drop the widowmaker solo as he doesn't do much in the game and you could drop one of the winter guard units and add iron fang unit as they are really good shield wall unit and Man-O-War are great, the best are Demolition Corps

a decent list, quite fluffy, but i think your going to be dissapointed with the decimator. it works great on your feat turn with a single focus but other then that i prefer the destroyer, since you dont need LOS much with arcing fire.

are you heart set on the tier? pSorscha is bit of a one trick pony IMO, she likes arcing fire jacks and mortars to get the job done.

khador is my main faction, and i run all the casters minus zerkova. when i run pSorscha i sually go with this:

Kommander Sorscha
Behemoth
War dog
Battle Mechaniks (Leader and 3 Grunts)
Destroyer
Battle Mechaniks (Leader and 3 Grunts)
Destroyer
Winter Guard Mortar Crew (Leader and Grunt)
Winter Guard Mortar Crew (Leader and Grunt)
Winter Guard Rifle Corps (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution
Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich

this list maximizes her feat turn. usually i can manage two boosted POW 14s from the behemoth, 2 boosted POW 14s from the marshalled destroyers, 2 POW 16's from the mortars and pot shots from the RC. the ideal scenario is pSorscha feed 2 to the behemoth, casts wind rush, pops feat then fires a boosted handcannon shot into opponet caster. this is followed by eEiryss knocking off excess focus from said caster, who should now be stationary and easy to hit, then the behemoth, destroyers, mortars and RC do their thing.

she is a bit one sided, but she can swing the game fast on feat turn. she gets shut down when she faces immune to cold casters (other sorschas, borka and i think there is a legion warlock who is also immune) or menoth if they bring the book (and they usually do). when i started out i started with pSorscha but quickly jumped to pVlad, who is a better beginner caster in my eyes.
