So, about this... I heard mention of a new list at WMW and I really should have asked about it but I didn't want to butt into the conversation. Has anyone heard of this new list? Is this how it's built? Am I at least close? I can see how the synergies are actually pretty good. Everything benefits from the feat, even the impact attacks and smites. Fury adds +3 to melee damage rolls, not STR, so the chariots can benefit. Three of the chariots (or the tankers if need be) can get Advance Moves. conflictchamber.com/#c3201b_-0T6ZkTeQ9vhFl3l38686l2jJjJkQkQKhador Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Armored Corps [Butcher 1] Orsus Zoktavir, The Butcher of Khardov [+28] - Marauder [11] - Ruin [17] - Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker [4] Greylord Forge Seer [0(4)] Man-O-War Suppression Tanker [0(6)] Man-O-War Suppression Tanker [0(6)] Battle Mechaniks (min) [3] Battle Mechaniks (min) [3] Kommandant Atanas Arconovich & Standard [7] Man-O-War Assault Chariot [14] Man-O-War Assault Chariot [14] Man-O-War Siege Chariot [15] Man-O-War Siege Chariot [15]

The problem is that Chariots aren't that good...
One, with some caster help will do work in some match ups. In others it will just go contest.
If you run 4, then in some match ups they will do some work and in others 80% of your list is going to have to just go contest...

I'm at least slightly curious as to whether Vlad 1 and Victor wouldn't be preferable. I'll have to watch that report and see what happens.

I havent tried the butcher1 list but I have played 2 games with vlad1, victor, 4 chariots, 4 tankers and 2 min units of mechaniks... and I must say that was the most fun I have had with warmachine in a long time

I can say, I have seen the list in play multible times and I think it has potential.
There are few variations to the list, like if you want Atanas, or what your second Jack is etc. but overall the bases of the list are the 4 chariots.
I would not go under 2 units of mechanics because they are vital for the list against any kind of shooting. What the list does very well is kite your opponent.
With their mobility its hard to ever reach the chariots. At the same time you have the dmg and the amount of attacks for any kind of list.
I would say it takes bit of practice but has a lot of potential.
Oh and Netherby. Yes as with Tankers in some matchups 2 of the chariots wont be that relevant but you can still use them to deal a good amount of dmg they can also charge into melee and either deal a lot of dmg under feat or kill a lot of infantry threw impacts
