So next week we are starting a Journeyman league to help some new player start up. im using Khador with their starter box and i know for a fact that 1/2 are new to the game and the other half are really competitive. so i would like to try n keep up with the competitive guys. what can i add to make this happen?

Week 1 battle box only
week 2 15 points with same battle box
week 3 15 points again
week 4 25 points with battle box
week 5 25 points free for all but must be same faction you started.

I always find starting these things with battleboxes are the worst, especially if you can't change your caster out early on.

Week 1: Is obviously set.
Week 2: Maybe the Man-O-War Drakhun without dismount, he moves fast and hits hard.
Week 3: Does it have to be from the Battlebox?
Week 4: Kayazy Assassins with their UA is a good unit. That with the box and the Drakhun makes it 25 on the nose. Or you can get a min unit of Winter Guard Infantry, plus their UA and Kovnik Joe.
Week 5: To work with what you would have if you followed my advise.

pIrusk or eSorscha (*6pts) (Both work really well with the Winter Guard, the spell Iron Flesh plus the order from the Winter Guard Officer Bob and Weave makes them Def 17.)
* Juggernaut (7pts)
Widowmakers (Leader and 3 Grunts) (4pts)
Winter Guard Infantry (Leader and 5 Grunts) (4pts)
* Winter Guard Infantry Officer & Standard (2pts)
* 3 Winter Guard Infantry Rocketeers (3pts)
Gorman di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist (2pts)
Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich (2pts)
Man-o-war Drakhun (with dismount) (5pts)
Widowmaker Marksman (2pts)

Just my take on Khador.

i do like the MOW Drakhun idea, no one would see it coming and i actualy have him lol. i know im fighting: circle, dwarfs, pigs, skorn, cignar, menoth, cryx.

is there something that would help? i did just get a hold of Sylys Wyshnalyrr because of a bet i won.

so with Sylys Wyshnalyrr at 15 i could also take bad Santa (koldum lord) to help support the jacks (destroyer) while Sylys Wyshnalyrr lets sorcha hang back and still kick but waiting for the right moment to strike with juggy n hopefully pull off an assassination

o and jack marshal the destroyer with the bad Santa for boosted to hit and boosted damage shot ^^

Sounds like a plan. I do enjoy Bad Santa with a destroyer since it only needs two focus. I'll also admit I love widowmakers, so they tend to be in all my lists.

i love my widow makers to but they always die... no mater what the seam to just die the most horrible death. shur at hight point games the enemy will forget them just b4 they wipe out half a unit but still...

They eat literally anything your opponent throws down on the table.
