The biggest problem with Strakhov is that his gameplan doesn't work with AK's. Or WGak really.
He wants stuff that charges into the enemy. High P+S jacks, Doom Reavers, Eliminators.
Not a bunch of pansies.
AK's are good now but not for everything.

They do get two attacks on the charge, which is better than a lot of our infantry - especially point-for-point.

Yeah but it's two attacks that have issues going through moderately sturdy cardboard.

Yeah but it's two attacks that have issues going through moderately sturdy cardboard. I know, but sometimes volume of attacks is a good thing. It's a shame it's so hard to get both hard-hitting melee infantry and volume-of-attack melee infantry into the same list; something something themes.
Yes, Doomreavers technically bring that, but they aren't all that great against high-DEF models; AKs' volume of attacks can help against harder-to-hit models where Doomreavers lose a lot of value. Also, great against Tough: even without putting down strangegas, two attacks means one to knock them down and the other to finish them, whereas Doomreavers get really sad if a model toughs.
Also: Bear's Strength or something, I dunno.

How high Def are we talking about? Because it's either some jacked up warbeast or warcaster or something like Elims.
If the latter just bomb them. If the former you are still better off taking giant chunks out with what does hit.

I was more thinking that AKs are there to get rid of annoying tough. Like Tharns or trolls or the whole tough + no knockdown that seems to be popping up more often than I like. So, I would have gassed whatever is annoying and the charged it with something else to kill it. I know RAT 6 is not stellar. But it's 7 if the Kapitan is nearby and Joe can even bring it to 9.
Perhaps there could be something in combining AKs and Man-o-Wars under Sorscha3. Alternatively one of the Irusks for Battle Lust on some Winter Guards?

Strakhov2 might be able to make that work. Last stand + bear's strength + vet leader isn't too shabby.

I remember reading your post interestingly when I used to like warmachines. These days, I remembered the warmachine again, so I went around the Internet and came back, and I'm still grateful for writing interesting posts!
I saw your army and thought about buying WGGC, but I couldn't because it was too expensive. I really liked Vlad1 and WGC, but I didn't have money before hahaha... (also Even now, I'm still poor bro)
I didn't play a lot of games, but I used to like some models. Orin, Kodiak, Rocketeer, Kayazy Eliminators, etc. were my favorite models. Aren't those models good for meta these days?
Warmachines are a great game except for those that are too cumbersome to assemble and painting, and that are expensive...
Well, If I have time and money to play games later, I will definitely refer to your army. Thx, Khador bro!
