25/35/50 pButcher resurgence help for noob.

[cgyacht]

Hi guys. I am new to warmachine and will play in a resurgence tourney this weekend. Here is the list I am considering running. I am not well versed in the trickery of the game yet so I will pretty much move forward and smash face while trying to eliminate threats and hopefully contest zones while keeping mine and possibly the center if I can manage it. I doubt I will get into their zone until late game if I am lucky.

Any comments, critiques, and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

Well, I think you would make better use of mechanics over a man hunter for your 25 point list. I would bring two units, one to tarpit with Iron Flesh (unless you cast it on butcher himself) and the other to keep your three jacks running.

I take a unit of mechanics with two jacks. With three of them I would say they are auto include. They are also really funny on feat turn with an extra dice charging things twice their size and taking them down. One point for four bodies? Even one kill pays the unit back, and who knows, maybe they will fix something.

This being said, i do not like the devastator in this list. It is a fear causing unit that is built for the long game. People will waste shots on it, (unless they just throw it out of combat) but i have always felt it is not as aggressive as i look for in a khador jack. Yes, it does have one turn, (hopefully feat turn) where it can sometimes blow a massive hole in things, but for the price, you may want to rethink it. or not.

I would switch for another cheap jack, and then you do not have to drop the man hunter for those mechanics.

Your list look good.
One thing I can think off, with 3 well 4 jacks at 50 you might want to find space for a Koldun Lord (maybe replace the marksman?), one simple reason: Power Booster. Butcher will have a hard time giving up focus to the jacks, even if you cast full throttle each turn, having a focus to spare is always nice. Plus you can reduce greatly Eiryss and the Stormsmith efficiency. Trust me, when they disrupt beast you will be happy for her to get a focus....
Last thing, you do not have a lot of screening for butch, people love shooting him to bits, so maybe having some MOW-ST can be useful. Just suggesting.
