I proxies Sorscha 0 with Sorscha 1 while waiting, and then bought her online at the PP store during adepticon. Now you can do a legal conversion pretty easily, or wait 2 months and make her part of the June purchase kit.
I think auraco has the order about right. For Jaws and WG, you want the Adjunct and Sorscha 0. For Armored Korp, his list is good if budget isn’t an object, but you can play a competitive list without the tankers (maybe not as competitive), but you ARE then going to want either the Bombadier or Drago attachments to round out a 2nd competent unit.

First of all, I want to say thank you to all for the great responses! I am working on getting my Gun Carriage table ready and then will be ready to roll out my Wintergaurd list.
So, I have about $130 to spend on models and I want to run Armored Corps. I put earlier what models I have. I would like to know how to prioritize my purchases. I know I need 1xSupression Tanker, 1xStriker Tanker, 1x Greylord Adjunct, and 1x Sorcha0 (when available). What am I missing? Dragos? Bombardier attachment? Let me know what you think.

You have all the essentials for solid Winter Guard Kommand, Armored Corps, and Jaws of the Wolf lists.
I recommend some experimentation.

If you’re running Bombardiers, the CA is practically required. Tankers make the theme work. The Demo Corps are close to dead weight to me. I would prioritize literally everything else over Dragos and Demo Corps. Kommandant Atanas Arconovich & Standard is a good purchase. Sorscha3 is good too!

Looking at your caster list, Irusk2 is a solid choice. This also saves you a bit of money as you don't need Atanas as much with him.
Adjunct is good all round, Sorscha0 would go well in the WGK, the Tankers are very high priority in AC. I don't use Dragos with my Demo Corps in Irusk, and I don't use Bombardiers at all, so I can't really comment there. I would recommend at least 1 MoW Kovnik, which isn't on your list.
I'd consider buying and magnetising at least one heavy warjack so you can play around with the Marauder and the Destroyer; both are very common in a wide range of lists. Same goes for the Kodiak. It can be worth seeing if your store has any of the old metal kodiaks; I nabbed one in my local store for half the cost of the plastic kits.

You have all the essentials for solid Winter Guard Kommand, Armored Corps, and Jaws of the Wolf lists. I recommend some experimentation. Everything I have read suggests I would not be good to go on Armored Corps. Could you expand upon your thinking? Or at least share a list you think would work with what I had? My understanding was that without the tankers, you basically have nothing. Again, just going off of what I have read. I went back and looked at my army again, I do have destroyers and 1 marauder, let me know if I need a second for WGK or Armored Corps. Also, and possibly most importantly, I really like the Man-o-wars. I have been wanting to use them since I started playing but they were fairly useless for me. With that said, I do not mind buying the new models because I think they are cool looking also. Thank you all for the continued assistance. -Z

I mean, play it and have fun, you know?

zerfius, if budget is an issue, my best possible suggestion to you would be to go play a half dozen games of Armored Korps using a couple of different casters and various load outs of your stuff. The amazing thing about this theme is it is, truly, our most versatile them in list building. The starting suggestion would remain the same - your top choices in models should be (in no particular order), the Greylord Adjunct and Sorscha 3 (get these no matter what), the UA for Bombadier and Demo Corp, Atanas and Standard, a Kovnik, Tankers, and (not necessary) Vlad 2 and Sorscha 3 who are arguably great casters in this theme. I suggest getting in a couple games with the Tankers because they - implausibly - NOT magnetized so you need to commit at purchase and you might like to go double suppression. Starting with using everything you own and a bunch of proxies try this on the table and let us know how it goes: - You have several great FFE targets, starting with Conquest. The tankers or a Bombadier love this spell. - The Democorp freaking hit like trucks with Battle Lust. Shocks do well do but I find you want them in Sheild Guard so they might be slow to get where you want them to go. - The list allows you to try both Tankers with a caster who likes both tankers. - If you end up using Irusk 2 you don’t need to purchase Atanas. Theme: Armored Corps 3 / 3 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army Supreme Kommandant Irusk - WJ: +27 - Greylord Adjunct - PC: 4 - Conquest - PC: 35 (Battlegroup Points Used: 27) Man-O-War Drakhun - PC: 9 - Man-O-War Drakhun (Continued) Man-O-War Kovnik - PC: 4 Man-O-War Strike Tanker - PC: 0 Man-O-War Suppression Tanker - PC: 0 Man-O-War Shocktroopers - Leader & 4 Grunts: 16 - Man-O-War Shocktrooper Officer - PC: 4 Man-O-War Bombardiers - Leader & 4 Grunts: 16 - Man-O-War Bombardier Officer - PC: 0 (Proxy this or Drago) Man-O-War Demolition Corps - Leader & 4 Grunts: 14 - Drago (Proxy this or the Bombadier Officer)
