Not to be a debby downer but did Khador do ANYTHING at L&L this year? Definately didnt make the streaming table. Mostly circle and skorne. Game really is devoling to "Buy a lot of factions, play the one that got recently powercrept" Depending on how you treat Mercenaries and Minions and their subthemes, Khador represents either 1/15th or 1/18th of Warmachine & Hordes. Perpetually seeing them in top 3 or top 5 or whatever is probably not realistic. There’s probably also an argument to be made (a good argument, even!) that there’s a relatively small and insular group of individuals that repeatedly compose the top 10 or top 20 players in this game, and simple personal preference must be factored in when discussing such things. Last year Khador —Armored Corps specifically— probably composed a good 20% of all players in the Iron Arena. This year Khador was more like 6% (a.k.a. 1/15th ) of the Iron Arena. What does it mean for Khador as a faction? Absolutely nothing. What was the best record of a khador player in IG?

Just going to chime in, that this is a point that doesn't get said enough in this sort of discussion. You have to be very careful about cart-before-the-horse syndrome when dealing with a sample size this small.

A Khador player made it to the semi-finals of Lock & Load Masters. I didn't really follow much but I did happen to see that. I could be wrong, but I don't recall seeing anyone playing Khador in the actual Iron Gauntlet. Keep in mind that there is a distinction here between a "Khador player" and a "player playing Khador." There were plenty of Khador players there; they were playing other factions. That same statement is equally true for probably every faction.

Another interesting rumour going round is that the theme benefits will be changing so that there is no +1 to starting rolls, no +2 deployment zones, and no Advance Moves except on MoWs. (Poor WGK jacks...) That does come from Party Foul though, so perhaps take it with a pinch of salt. I heard the same thing. The issue with these forecasts is that, even if the source is accurate, PP can change their mind before anything goes to print; in other words, we'll know when we see the changes.

Game really is devoling to "Buy a lot of factions, play the one that got recently powercrept" Just checked on ringdev: There were no Khador lists in the Iron Gauntlet (at all), but Khador lists came 4th in both Masters and Champions
