First thing is it’s great to see Brennon in front of the camera. He helps so often with the content of this site that it’s good to see him every now and then.

Good overview of the book. It sounded like you had to rush through it just to cover all the stuff in it.

Ben it depends on your style of play. I like to get up close and personal with the enemy and i enjoy Jack heavy lists. BTW Ben I to am new to the game so really i dont know what im talkin about lol. Khador for me is the way to go.

Any suggestion is a good suggestion! I really love turtling and playing very defensively in my wargames. Hope that gives some indication of what might suit me in Warmahordes 🙂

Well, seems like Dwarfs might be your type. (just got to the elves part of the vid, I totally agree.)
They are found in the Mercenary Faction book. They bring heavy armour and lots of hitting power to the table at the expense of speed. Problem is, as they are Mercs they only have two Caster (three including the one in Colossals) and not as many units and jacks as the other factions.
For what its worth Ossrum sounds like a very powerful caster!

A little advice on Khador: Don’t start Khador if you want to run a lot of Warjacks. It’s a mistake many people, me included make. While our jacks are powerful we don’t have the support to run many at once. Menoth is a lot better in that regard. What’s powerful in Khador is it’s Infantry. Iron Fangs, Kayazy and Winterguard acting together are very powerful and our casters are wonderful in support of our infantry.

While Khador certainly is an up close and personal faction, it’s generally the Infantry thats good. Khador really has problems running jack heavy lists. I’d go Protectorate of Menoth for running jack heavy. I made the same error myself and see it with a lot of new players.

So excited for this book! I might have 300pts. of Khador, but I’m so happy to see a new rhulic warcaster, and he sounds like an amazing toolbox. I think we’re going to see some pain from the stunties with this release.
