I am brand new to warmachine and this forum, but I have decided to go with Khador and Irusk as my warcaster. Starting out with small 15 pt army. Any advice is much appreciated.

Irusk
juggernaut
6x iron fang pikes
6x doom reavers
winter gaurd field gun

Plan: Use Irusk's abilities to buff the shield wall and reavers. Hold the enemy in place with the pike's while the reavers and juggernaut clean them up with the gun providing long range fire support.

This leaves one point that I dont know what to do with. Really the only elements of this list that I would want to switch out would be the reavers and field gun. I love the pikemen models and am really just looking so something that will work well with them and Irusk.
Thanks in advance.

If I were to run pIrusk at 15 points I'd probably do something like this.

Kommandant Irusk
* Kodiak
* War dog
Iron Fang Pikemen (Leader and 9 Grunts)
* Iron Fang Pikemen Officer & Standard
Manhunter

It gives pIrusk a good self efficient jack that has pathfinder and can two handed through for free if it hits with both initial attacks. Plus at 15 points its going to be really hard to handle a max unit of IFP especially under his feat and shield wall + IF, The ManHunter is there to hit a solo that needs to go, and the WarDog is there to counter-charge and give a def bonus.
