Karchev 35 point list

[Seferon]

So, when i first started warmachine about three weeks ago, i had started by playing karchev. It was the biggest reason that i wanted to play. Dragging jacks and basically throwing them at your opponent was something i thought would be really fun.

After some time though, i found that i liked well rounded lists more then jack heavy lists. Now i've decided to try Karchev out in a list that just takes a minimal amount of jacks.

35 points

Karchev The Terrible (-5)
Juggernaut (+7)
Devastator (+9)
Maruader (+7)
Greylord Terion (+4)
Great Bears of Gallowswood (+5)
Ironfang Pikemen (+8)

The Marauder is Switched out for a Torch ((until i get beast 09)) at 50 points.

3 jacks at 35 points still tends to be a bit jack heavy. The units and solos you run with Karchev should be units that are great on their own or that support Karchev. Depending on your meta, an ogrun bokur is a great choice because he can take the shot fom eiryss which will completely shut down Karchev. Speaking of eiryss, epic eiryss goes great bc she can strip enemies or friendlies of upkeep spells. Also, with 3 jacks you might as well run some mechanics to repair them and K. I think most Karchev lists at 35 will tend to be jack heavy and when you make it to 50 is when you can balance it out with karchev. The great bears perform well on their own but i would take the unit attachment with the ifp if i were you.

Yeah, i forgot about this list being on here actually. I kind of need to edit it. XP Also, i do agree that at 50 points, karchev tends to work a lot better. Sadly enough, i don't have the UA. Thats going to be my next purchase, then a second unit of greylords and Beast 09 after that.

With Karchev I run
Karchev
-Beserker
-Beserker
-Spriggan
-Juggarnaut
Wardog
Doom Reavers
Greylords

I haven't run into Eiryss with the list yet, its going to happen eventually Reach on a jack + karchev is very important to me, and increases the potential threat range nicely. Also bull doze comes in very very handy at times. Being able to simply walk and clear the way to the caster then throw a hit or 2 is nice. He tends to push the way clear for Beserkers then they get in there and try to get it done. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I wish I had less jacks, but it just feels right. Lastly the Doom Reavers are very helpful for people who like to lead with something to disrupt you or interrupt your plan, even having 1 left is a threat to a infantry unit.

I really don't like berserk. Mainly because of their mat 5. I'd rather be running kodiaks but sadly i don't have any. I've got a decent line up of Units. Theres only a couple more things i really want to pick up before i start working on my Jack Collection.

Things i'm looking at picking up soon.
IFP UA
Greylord Terions
Kuldon Lord


Beast 09
Behemoth
Devastator
2 Sprigan


After i get those guys, i'm going to be picking up a full unit of shock Troopers.

Get a Max unit of Meks. Seriously, they are amazing with effectively 4 'jacks on the board, and they can fix your warcaster.

The stuff i listed was stuff i'm going to get in the next week or two. I'm waiting for the box thing to come out for the Khador mechs before i pick them up.
