Hi khadorans, i'ma filthy swan, but my friend is starting khador and has enough budget to get a 75 pts list. He wants to play butcher 3, is he still sort of viable? What would you suggest for his list?

Hi! It's totally ok to play swans!
B3 is a strong choice. Your friend might consider a Jaws of the Wolf theme with lots of jacks, WM scouts, engine seers and an occasional solo.

Just an example. Ruin is a must-have. The kayazy can be swapped for another marauder.

B3 isn't quite as ridiculous as in Mk2, but that is more to do with rules and model changes than with him personally. He is actually BETTER at killing things in Mk3 himself, he just has more difficulty in getting to things now. But he still has an impressive personal threat range. It's difficult to make an argument against taking Ruin in every Butcher list. So B3 + Ruin is pretty much your list starting point. From there it depends on the desire to go with a theme or not. B3 doesn't really do a lot to support his army, it's more about the army supporting him. So you want things that are pretty self sufficient. Basically find out if they are wanting to play in a theme or not and what models in the faction they actually like, then get back to us  |

B3 is bread and butter of competitive Khador and also one of the best options against Cygnar we have.
Typical B3 list is B3 + Ruin + 2x Kodiak/Devastator + 2x Juggernaut/Marauder + stuff.
Stuff can be: wg in wg theme, kayazy + snipers + seers + more jacks in jaws theme, merc support like Orin + Bokurs + Ragman + Madelin + any unit out of theme. Due to power of B3, lists are highly customizable and it's hard to pick one that's strictly better than others.
Wardog is highly recommended.
