Planning to reenforce the borders

[Not So Feral]

So planning a Warmachine Force to go alongside my Circle, and the fluff for Khador has hit me like an axe to the face.

That in mind, I was looking at building up with a Harkevich (I get to smite my foe with Brian Blessed! Win!) theme force to start up, and wondered if it was a decent progression?

15 point starter

-5 - Kommander Harkevich, the Iron Wolf
10 - Black Ivan
9 - Destroyer
1 - War dog

Up to 35 points

2 - Winter Guard Field Gun Crew (Leader and 2 Grunts)
3 - Winter Guard Mortar Crew (Leader and Grunt)

6 - Winter Guard Infantry (Leader and 9 Grunts)
2 - Winter Guard Infantry Officer & Standard
3 - 3 Winter Guard Infantry Rocketeers
2 - Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich

2 - Widowmaker Marksman

Up to 50 points

(drop marksman)
9 - Man-o-war Shocktroopers (Leader and 4 Grunts)
3 - Man-o-war Kovnik
7 - Juggernaut (jm) (dropping 1 point off both BI & Destroyer)

So long range decimation folowed by the man-o-war mopping up with the Juggernaught, as a basic plan, and enough of most things Khador to learn the style.

Suggestions?

Hark's solid. Been spending some time with him lately and i've decided i really like him. at 15 points he won't shine much tho. 35 is a much more comfortable level for him. Black Ivan is nearly an auto include. I haven't played his theme list, mainly because it forces you to give up the behemoth, which i have found to just be amazing with hark. 100% worth his point cost imo. The winter guard are a great choice infantry wise for him also. Fortune + Joe's speeches on them is money. At 35 points i ran Behemoth, Ivan, and a jugg along with 10pts of WGDS and it made for some very fun turns. Feat turn especially. Your jacks can take an absolute pounding under harks feat... and at spd 6 + pathfinder, you can really start to play aggressively with them.

I was going to start with the battlebox and a warjack kit (Black Ivan upgrade on the Battlebox Destroyer so I can still magnetise the kit), so would it be worth juggling Hark and Sorscha at 5 point level?
