Figured this would be a good resource for new players, what are your "must haves" for mk3?
Sort your choices into 3 categories, must-have, nice-to-have, and optional, leave off casters and try and pick models with the most general utility for a new player, I'm picking models I have experience with, so your list will probably be different
So for me it'd be:
Must-have:
-2x juggernaut
-kodiak
-marauder
-behemoth
-widowmakers
-mechanics
-winter guard rifle corp with rockets and joe
-sylys
-reinholt
-war dog
Nice-to-have:
-shocktrooper package (kovnik and ua)
-vanilla or BD IFP
-another kodiak
-another marauder
-kayazy assassins
-kayazy eliminators (2x probably)
-orin midwinter
-ragman
-bokur
-ruin
Optional:
-kell bailoch
-saxon orrick
-conquest
-widowmaker marksman
-eiryss1
-2x devastator
-MoW drakhun (2x maybe)

I would go with widowmakers and what they need for first 15 pts first and have it grouped into categories for journeyman buys pointless spending cash like a madman when you need to learn to play first

For new players? The only must have is to buy what you like the look of.
There's no point trying to optimize lists from the start, just get stuff that you think looks cool and get playing it! Once you've got a bunch of games under your belt and are starting to look at tournaments in a serious way is the time to start considering how to fine tune lists.
Cheers,
Dave

If I were just starting out khador I would wait for the all in one box. Then I would buy these models if they were not in the box.
-Widowmaker Marksman
-Widowmakers
-2 kodiak/grolar kits magnatize
- 2 units of Kayazy eliminators
-A clamjack kit and magnatize it
-Decide if you want to go with ether Iron fangs or Mows and get a unit of those
-Winter guard rifles
-kovnik joe
-a Field gun and a mortar crew

Double Mortars are AT LEAST 'Nice To Have'. If you are going with the Winter Guard Kommand Theme, they are almost 'Must Have'.

I would tweak the OP's post to put in an Iron Fang Kovnik either in the second or third phase. A great model and a nice way to learn synergies. But these lists all fail one key test.. WHERE IS THE DOGE???!!!  ?? No khador collection is complete without the doge!!! Really guys. Even if it isn't the best 1 point model in the whole game anymore EVERYONE should understand the power of the War Doge!!!! |

Sand honestly I don't really like the kovnik outside of theme (which is what my list is geared towards), he's too many points for too little, typically knockdown means death for single wound infantry I find unless irusk2 is involved. Definitely agree on the dog though, he's in my list in the must-have section because he can up the defense of our casters (good for newbies to not die so often) and learning how counter charge works outside of karchev.
