Hello every one I have 2 lists I would like to run by my fellow gamer's please feel free to leave positive or negative feed back, tips, tricks ideas.
I'm still relatively new to warmachine so I'm just reading my khador book and writing down different list combos.

List 1

Zerkova (+6)
Devastator (9)
Kodiak (8)

Doom Reavers+UA (8)

Kayazy Assassins full +UA (10)

WidowMakers (4)

Saxon Orrick (2)

For this list my idea for running it is as follows.
Deploy doom reaver's in a 1,2,3,1 Wedge on the right front side of zerkova.
Deploy Assassins on the close left of zerkova to keep away from doom reaver's and use cover to screen.
Then keep the Devastator on the left and the kodiak on the right base to base to screen zerkova.
Keep Saxon Orrik in the middle giving pathfinder to doom reaver's or assassins as needed with the widowmakers providing cover fire.

Assassins run up to tar pit and draw fire devastator runs up followe buy zerkova and the kodiak providing screen and popping steam cloud to block line of site to zerkova, doom reaver's following close on the right of zerkova. with the hope's of making my opponent have to divide his fire and force to deal with 3 different threats. pop feat probably on 2nd turn depending on layout of board. force blast on devastator and watcher on kodiak. and influence when possible.


List 2

List 1

PButcher (+6)
Devastator (9)
Kodiak (8)

Doom Reavers+UA (8)

Kayazy Assassins full +UA (10)

WidowMakers (4)

Saxon Orrick (2)

pretty much same as above. but running it a little different.

Butcher, Devastator, Kodiak running in jacks screening Butcher
Iron flesh on assassins Running up on a flank depending on terrain.
doomreavers close to Butcher(wile laughing maniacally) and having Saxon between the two groups throwing out pathfinder.
and widowmakers providing cover fire.

I haven't had a chance to try this out yet but I think they are pretty strong and solid but I welcome all of your thoughts and opinions.

On a side note I thought of dropping the devastator and widowmakers
for a unit of man-o-war Shock troopers (9) and a unit of mekaniks (min) + UA (4).

Thanks for reading .

dont care for zerkova, but butcher


butcher loves jacks, the more jacks you have, the more focus you save, i would recomend of your big jacks

if kayazy assasins have their speed decreased they cannot charge, you also have stealth so they dont really need iron wall, also if you smoke and charge through the modle your charging, if you angle it right you can hit their rear and gain an aditional dice on the dam

widowmakers are not real choice for butcher, he is good with units charging in head first foaming at the mouth, you should swap them for somthing else, say another jack~

i am not familure with saxon at all, im assuming he is a merc?

if you swap all your jacks ( and widow and sax ) and get 4 beserkers that would be good because you will be able to knock down alot of the oppoent with their attacks, unless your unlucky.
