Greetings!
I am a returning MK1 player who is teaching his son to play the game. My son has chosen Khador as his faction and claimed the small army that I was building as his own. My question for all of you experienced Khador players is where should he go from here? Keep in mind that he is just wanting to play casual games and has no interest in tournaments.
His available army choices at the moment are:
Sorscha 1 Butcher 1
Juggernaut Kodiak Destroyer Berserker
WinterGuard Infantry (full) Rocketeers x 3 Widowmakers Doomreavers Greylord Ternion
Manhunter
He does have access to a ton of merc models (mainly solos) so I am not really looking for what mercs he should get, but more along the lines of what new Khador models to get. I know that Kovnik Joe is probably a good addition to buff the WGI, but what else?

You have a solid foundation- the berserker and Manhunter are the only under-performers. You are right about Kovnik Joe- he's pretty much mandatory in lists with Winter Guard.
For your next 'jack, Ruin and Behemoth are probably the two best choices. After that, a Devastator would be a good addition to your mix- sky-high armor plus Bulldoze plus Rain of Death is pretty great.
For Solos, the Widowmaker Marksman is a good bet.
As for Units, Man-O-War Shocktroopers are finally worth taking, but only with the speed bonus from the MoW Kovnik.

As a new player myself, I agree with Behemoth. I also really like Irusk as a caster. Depending on how old he is, you might want to put more focus towards the Jacks and then you can run Butcher. Most of the kids I know do not have the patience to play infantry heavy armies but really like the big stompy robots!

He is 15 but has a good grasp so far of the game. He has run a couple of games with infantry and did well. Yes, he likes the warjacks but wants to expand on infantry/solos too.
Irusk or Vlad were my thoughts on his next caster.
Behemoth is definitely on the short list. He likes the Grolar too, but I haven't seen too much talk about it. Is it any good?
He also is interested in all of the MOW units but seems to have a liking for the Demo Corps over the Shocktroopers. Thoughts? Definitely will put MOW Kovnik on the list if he gets a MOW unit.

Might want to pick up Strakhov2 in that case, he has some good support for Man of War of all types.

...He likes the Grolar too, but I haven't seen too much talk about it. Is it any good? It's powerful, but I think the general opinion is that it's overpriced.
