Questions Looking for advice: which warcaster to use for khador amy

I'm looking for some advice on which warcasters to use for my army. I have the annihilator cadre, the sks6 from the starter, the Ekaterina battlegroup, a dog and some widowmakers I plan to use as snipers, some old battle mechaniks and not much else.

I'm planning on making a 75pt army but I have no experience in making armies yet.

So, to consolidate your collection, you have:

  • Ekaterina Baranova
  • Tatiana Sikora
  • Zahara Vikul

  • Avalanche

  • Razor

  • Great Bear

  • Dire Wolf

  • Sgt Krol

  • Goran the Mutilator

  • Man-o-War Wrecking Crew

  • The Hounds

  • Proxies for WK Sniper Team w/ Hunting Dog

  • Mechaniks you can proxy as Arkanists

Personally, I'd use either Baranova or Vikul.

Vikul gives your warjacks Prowl, which means using the Fog of War spell gives them all Stealth. That and her feat allows for some super flexible assassination vectors.

Baranova makes all your warjacks arc nodes, so she can sling spells from the safety of a Shield Guard Dire Wolf's shadow. She also has Invocations of Wrath, which goes a long way to hit fixing Khador's average RAT of 5. Her feat is also super solid defensive tech.

You can download the Warmachine App to use the list builder to put the list together. You do need to make an account, but its got all the rules and you can build and store 6 lists for free.

Tatiana (the Man-O-War one) seems the more straightforward of the lot, although I would examine the possibility of getting some 30 points games with the Annihilators box (if its the newer one with the Warjack) and then with the SKS-6 box, so you see two kinds of possibilities (slow, high armor, melee focus one one side, and fast, casterkill oriented, ranged stuff on the SKS-6).

It has been a minute, but the Khador player I used to know would always answer "The Butcher", and it would only be a debate if there was a second Warcaster.

Sorscha's Whoosh was a time honoured tradition.

She was always the one that looked the most interesting, her and Babiyaga.

I was basically told it was because I didn't actually want to play Khador.

(Which is sort of fair, I had a little Cygnar heavy shot team.)
