Finishing up buying all the Winter Guard stuff I want/need, but have been thinking of what theme will go with it well. I am leaning towards Jaws of the Wolf, as it is a very different type of Khador than I am used to, offers (decent) access to magic weapons/attacks (for Khador), and I like the idea of going 'jack/assassin heavy versus Man-O-Wars more.
What do you guys think of those two themes together?

It works just fine, and before Armored Korp came out with all of the new models was my go-to tournament pairing. The AK changes happened about the same time that they bumped up the cost of the Marauder and Juggernaut, so I haven’t felt compelled to pick up JoTW competitively but probably will after Sorscha 0 comes out. The theme benefits kinda suck, but free models are free models and 75 points of jacks + 28-30 points of assassins and widowmakers is actually really good.

I totally feel you with waiting for Sorscha0. I haven't started building into Jaws yet as I finish up my WGK, so it has all just been theory-Machine for that theme. Needless to say, I can't wait for Sorscha0 to drop her into WGK as well. |

For the budget conscious new Komrade:
If you’re building a robust WGK list then you probably have 4 heavy warjack kits or so. One quick way to build into Jaws from that is to buy a Conquest/Victor kit, 2 Forge Seers, and your Assassin lineup. Strakhov 1 will run that well.

So as I continue buying models to finish up my Jaws theme, how critical is Behemoth? I am having a hard time deciding on whether or not I really need him. He seems like he will be VERY handy when the new Grey Lord Adjunct drops, as he is a prime target for Eyeless Sight/Magic Weapons... I am just annoyed that Jaws is the only theme I will be able to run Big B in.

I play big B a lot. I usually regret it if he dies. Should have spent the points on a colossal.

michael and mrtuna,
Yeah, I see what you guys are saying. I would buy a colossal... But I have just enough room in my case to fit a single heavy warjack. While Victor plus the Adjunct seems like it could rock... I don't plan on getting a new case anytime soon, so I am trying to think of alternatives by using Behemoth or a Destroyer.
How often do you guys find Behemoth being taken out by ranged attacks?

That'll definitely kill him pretty dead haha. Charges generally sack any Khadoran heavy with a surprising quickness. |
