Extreme Warjack Battlegroup - Brainstorming!

[zombie-a-go-go]

Okay, so, here's what I want to do.

My next project is to buy a pair of Extreme Juggernauts and an Extreme Destroyer, paint them up, and build an army around them.

Where you come in is helping me build an army around these pieces at 35p and 50p. My only restrictions are no Vlad (because I think his model sucks), no Karchev (too small compared to the Warjacks), and no Winter Guard (again, because their models suck).

So I'm going for visual impact here, but I would also like (since I'm going to be sinking a lot of time and money into this project) something that plays somewhat effectively so my games will be more than 15 minutes of admiring the models and 10 minutes of actual play before I get stomped into the ground. :)

So! Two Juggernauts and a Destroyer bring me up to 23 points. What else do I want?

Epic Butcher (+6)
Jugger = 7
Jugger = 7
Destroyer = 9

Doom Reavers = 6
Doom Reavers = 6
Fenris = 5
War Dog = 1

Total = 35

[pjaerolaf]

Epic Butcher (+6)
Jugger = 7
Jugger = 7
Destroyer = 9

Doom Reavers = 6
Widowmakers = 4
Fenris = 5
Koldun Lord = 2
War Dog = 1


Total = 35

Widowmakers is great for board control and would be good for tagging one or two infantri modells during the feat round as well as making the army less melee-ish, to better fit in to the current meta. The same goes for the Koldun lord who should marshall the Destroyer.

War dog is a given with eButcher and Doomreavers and Fenris is alot of fun. :)
Not to mention that the Fenris model looks great!

All in all, great looking models and the list should work at least decently. ;-)


Mechaniks would be an addition that also would be good, but i dont know what they would replace.

[zombie-a-go-go]

So we're definitely thinking eButcher over pButch? I was thinking pButcher, Mechaniks, and a full unit of Shocktroopers, but eButcher, Doom Reavers and Fenris look good as well... I suppose it's really a matter of whether or not I want to be slow, plodding, and storm-weathering or balls-out crazy in your face.

:)

[thomwill]

i like the balls-out crazy in your face approach.

[GrandmasterEJ]

I had to do a double-take of that, at first I thought you said 'approach balls-out towards your face'

But yeah, crazyness ftw

[spoole75]

You also might want to take another look at Karchev. Over in the painting forum there is a pretty sweet conversion done with one of the extreme scupts to make an extreme Karchev.

I think that would be awesome planted center field.

[russianpaladin]

Uhlans w/ Markov and doomreavers and Fenris would look nice, toss in Drakun for more lg base goodness of destruction

[Septimus]

eSorscha
-Juggernaut (bonded)
-Juggernaut
-Destroyer

Greylord Ternion
Widowmakers
Max Demo Corps.
War Dog
-35

Can clear out infantry and hard targets easily, a fairly hard center of jacks and democorps (with iron flesh and clouds, a DEF and ARM 16 unit with eight health apiece). Could be fun, I think. Plus, the sheer audacity of playing eSorscha without Winterguard practically defines playing like you have a pair. (BTW, I couldn't disagree with you more about WG being ugly, but to each his own. Right on about Vlad, though).

[zombie-a-go-go]

That eSorscha list is very intriguing... as a bonus, I already own all of those models as well (except for the jacks, of course). I think I'll have to try that one out as well. :D

[vytzka]

I like your way of thinking.

You should use eButcher for axe-craziness, but convert an EXTREME version of him using Karchev's body for armor.

[lce]

can't help u, cause destroyer suck

[SoulReclaimer]

Regardless of how it performs. I LOVE this idea. Think of those huge hulking jacks across the board. INTIMIDATION for the win.

GO WITH IT

[vytzka]

can't help u, cause destroyer suck
That's useful, thanks for sharing.

[zombie-a-go-go]

can't help u, cause destroyer suck

Awesome.

But I bet my army ends up prettier than yours. :p

(Weathering on the extremes is taking forever... thank God for Rustall)

[KomphHammer]

I want you to take an extreme Juggy and turn him into a Karchev, Then build the list around that :)
