CotD with Zuriel and mild Nephilim Soldier spam is your best bet for true anti-warjack spam. Along with warlords. Theres three sources of precision strike right there. As well as a decapitation, which scares anything. Honestly though, anything meant to kill warbeasts instantly is probably going to do the same to warjacks, just maybe with a little more difficulty. I used to run Double swordsmen, double warlord, double Neph soldier under Kryssa. There was one game, I took 4 protectorate heavies in one turn and cut cortexes out of another two. At the same event, I saw a guy literally one-shot an Ironclad from full with his warlord. Precision strike is the best rule. |

As a player who OFTEN faces Khador - I would like to see a few armor cracking lists that won't melt to AoE or advice on what to do to mitigate that.

I find Fyanna's Iron Flesh on Swordsmen to be pretty helpfull. Gallows can also sometimes help extend threat ranges, and Swordsmen take her feat pretty nicely (especially when blast immune) |

They got even more AoE on battle engines, hard to kill heavy infantry that can just be handed tough or defensive line, and even a ridiculous spray bot solo that's 6 points Arm 21, 10 boxes. #balance |

Correction: free ARM21 10 box solo

I took on Khador 'jack-spam back before it was nerfed with lots of system damage via precision strike, so that's probably what I would recommend. Thagrosh1 CoTD potentially outputs a LOT of precision strike while also being reasonably bricky itself. Take the 3 characters, a full unit of swordsmen, and a bunch of nephilim soldiers. Use the free points for the swordsmen CA and solo, and maybe Incubi, and you should have a promising list into jackspam.
edit: bonus points if you squeeze in a gremlin swarm. Those are hilarious into jackspams.
edit: as for the khador CID, double thrones or Anamag should make them sweat.

It wasn't me but a local khador player was playing against Grymkin and had his demolisher surrounded by all four, and they killed the thing over three turns. Hilarious. |

It was probably completely helpless the whole time too. I used to take a pair of them with Thagrosh2 prior to themes being a thing. I still wish our merc/minion options were slots instead of specifically solo+unit. I'd rather go solo+solo and take a pair of gremlin swarms in a bunch of lists. As it stands I have a second gremlin swarm that will never see use. |

I've yet to see anywhere that this is a confirmed bug and they have had tons of time to fix it. |

I built an Abby2 list with 7 shredders and 3 heavies with the intent of playing it into Khador and Menoth jack spam.
I have yet to face those lists again since building it but it has done well into vyros2 jack spam and Bradigus wold spam, and pretty much everything but guns so far. Grievous wounds from Proteus and the Scythean's animus also gives it decent game into makeda1 and trolls.
