How to build Khador army for demo purpose?

[ViewFinder]

Hi,

So as the title implies I'm building Khador army for demoing purposes(and for starting my second army) to show the game for couple of friends(my first army is RoS). I've got to around getting the battlebox so that's 11 points down and Sorcsha as a warcaster and I'm thinking of 20/25 pt list for this purpose and now my question is what should I get?
I've read GlassJaw's thread for starting palyers and I'm thinking of unit of IFP, Widowmakers and Manhunter solo and something else, but does I'm not entirely sure. Any suggestion would be nice.

For purposes of demoing I'm think that I should show the game quickly just playing with battlebox vs. battlebox but after that put some more things into it so they can get better image of the game.

Cheers.

The Battle Boxes are missing some elements that really flesh out the game, like:
- Infantry
- Solos
- Character models
- Models with skill checks or magical abilities
- Models with special damage rules

So I think your general idea is good. A Koldun Lord might make a good solo for a demo game, as it would show off Magic Ability, Power Booster, sprays, and 'Jack Marshal depending on how you set the list up.

Widowmakers, Doom Reavers and MoW Demo Corp. They are fun to use and Sorcha has some spells to help them a little...and I just love them LOL

Like 25 points ?

Battle Box
Widowmakers+Marksman
2x Manhunters or some doomreavers/
WarDog

dunno what that adds up too, but should be able to cover all the basic rules.

Maybe add in the Drakun to cover cav as well.

I think that the Battle Box + Widowmakers is a solid 15-point force. If you're going for 25, I agree on adding the War Dog and Marksman - so that leaves you 7 points. Yuri and 2 Manhunters could round it out, or you could use another Juggernaut, or Koldun Lord & Drakuhn w/dismount... depends on how much you want to demonstrate. On one hand, you'll want to show off a variety of features, but more importantly... you'll want to keep it simple. It's easier to involve new players by showing off the more easily understood parts of the game and a taste of the unique flavor of the faction, without overloading them on all the bells & whistles.

a warcaster attachment, something with a skill check min mechanics a unit min mowst, and a ua mechanic ua, and a solo wmmarksman. I hate sorcha as she dose nothig beyond fog and dosentbrepresent khador as a whole. PButcher would be better imho. He has something for infantry, solos, jacks and a direct attack spell.

Thanks for the advice. So far I think Widowmakers are the way to go for infantry, but for solos I'm not yet sure what to choose. So far Wardog, Marksman and Koldun lord have been the most interesting options, but I think I should go for wardog and Koldun Lord since they probably show more options and mechanics of the game. So that leaves me with about 7 points short of 25 pt army. Now I was thinking should I go for min unit of MoW Demos or regulars or with Drakhun and Manhunter/Marksman? MoWs would demonstrate medium base infantry to some degree but Drakhun and additional solo would probably offer more variety or does it complicate things too much? Any suggestions?

So far the list looks like this:

- pSorcsha
- Wardog
- Destroyer
- Juggernaut
- Widowmaker (max)
- Koldun Lord

pSorscha
-Destroyer
-Juggernaut
Widowmakers
Min IFP and UA to show off unit attachments
Wardog
and a 2pt Merc Solo to show off solo's and how Merc's work. I suggest Harlan Versh.

pSorscha
-Destroyer
-Juggernaut
Widowmakers
Min IFP and UA to show off unit attachments
Wardog
and a 2pt Merc Solo to show off solo's and how Merc's work. I suggest Harlan Versh.

While I'm not a fan of using Mercs, I freely admit it's my own personal bias that I have to get over. This list, I think, is good. Maybe swap out the Merc for a K-Lord, to show off marshalling and magic attacks...?

[HellVenom]

use a manhunter or a marksman instead of a mercenary. You don't want to confuse anyone with the FF benefits during an early demo and getting three rule books can be off putting for some people. In addition, you could show off how some solo's benefit nearby uits if you take the marksman.

[mostholycerebus]

Convert the Destroyer to Black Ivan. He doesnt completely suck, and demos character jacks. Important because thats all we really field in decent lists.

[Garner]

For just demo purpose. I'd play 15 point games with them using the battle-box plus widow-makers. that way you can focus on the core mechanics, and introduce a small ammount of infantry.

Why not follow the summer sale army bundle to 25pts?

Khador Battlebox (plastic)
o Warcaster Kommander Sorscha
o Destroyer Heavy Warjack
o Juggernaut Heavy Warjack
Widowmakers
Winter Guard Infantry UA
Winter Guard Infantry (full unit)
Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich

I like this, but I would min the unit and upgrade to Black Ivan and a Rocket. Or a manhunter.

Thanks for the help. There is a lot options and Espers notion of that summer sale bundle actually look quite good idea to build around, though I'm not really liking Kovnik Joe. Well, I can change Jozef for something else. I'll be looking into this for now.Again, thank you for the help.

[Steamwitch]

wait! You cant have a demo for khador without the DEMO corps.

What about getting a couple of other warcasters, perhaps some of the less extreme(sorscha, vlad, butcher, karchev), I guess someone like irusk or strakhov would be more interesting every turn.
