Editing Khador (section)

==Khadoran Military==
[[Warmachine/Tactics/Khador]]

Khador's army is broken down in these groups.

'''Assault Kommandos''':  Cygnar's main defense is trench warfare and these guys are designed to counter this.  Armed with Magtek nightvison goggles, shields, and guns with gas grenade launchers.  They sneak in a trenchline and wreak havoc allowing for the Winter Guard to safely cross no man's land. They're immune to Fire and Corrosive damage, two of the other factions main element types, and ignore cloud effects. 

'''Greylords''': Greylords are Khador's order of wizards. When Khador's king called for Khador's people to return home decades after the end of the Orgoth war many Wizard of Khadoran descent answered, taking all the secrets they had learned and most importantly the secret of cortex manufacturing with them. These wizard went on to form the Greylord's covenant, specializing in ice magic and finding Orgoth artifacts to use as weapons against Khador's enemies.

'''Men-O'-War''':  Since Khador lacks light warjack they just put the best, strongest Winter Guard in steampunk power armor, THEY DIE IN STEAM! They're relatively expensive for a squad but each one has multiple hit points. Come in three varieties, Bombardiers with [[awesome|grenade launcher chainsaws]]. Demolition Corps with giant freezing hammers, and Shocktroopers with their class axe and cannon-shield combo. Man-O-War solos include the Cannon-Axe-armed Kovnik, the twin-shielded Tankers, and the Drakhun, a Dragoon unit mounted on one strong-ass horse. 

'''Iron Fangs''': The oldest type of warriors hailing all the way back to the days before the Iron Kingdoms.  Simply put they're heavily armored troops with spears, now they're used as anti-warjack units given spears with exploding tips. Come in cavalry form as Uhlans.

'''Winter Guard''': The backbone of Khador's army. All men are conscripted while women are only volunteer, most aren't forced; they see this are a proud honor to serve their nation. Most of Khador's attempts to modernize it's army are here. Until recently they only had axes, now they carry outdated guns. A few more elite units have been outfitted with actual rifles. The cheap point costs and versatility of a fully upgraded squad has been coined as the "Winter Guard Deathstar". While it has been toned down a bit since MK2, it is still a very popular build.

'''Widowmakers''': Khador's elite marksmen, and one of their two most feared units. They've got high RAT and are frustratingly hard to hit in cover. They're rightfully feared for being able to pick off any single box infantry, making them an auto take in any list.

'''Kossite Woodsman''': Ornery woodland hillbillies from the fringes of the far north with pretty abysmal RAT and MAT. While the rest of your troops are encased in metric shit tons of armor, the kossites wear nothing more than leather and rivets. While the rest of your army carries cannons and grenade launchers, kossites bring ancient ass muskets and bows to bear. This of course means they die in droves, and have a hard time doing jack shit to high armor targets, but that's why you'll be targeting softer things like support solos that tend to hide in the back. Ambush puts them right behind your opponent at the beginning of your second turn (you can deploy them normally on your first turn, but this isn't advised). Camouflage puts them to decent DEF levels when in forests, and Reform can be very handy for hit and run tactics. They also bring a psychological battle to the table. Does your opponent ignore them and risk them possibly taking out something valuable, or does he spend a turn focusing on them while the really nasty khador stuff is advancing from the front? Also be wary of armies that make use of soul and corpse tokens, as Kossites give them generously. Kossites can also make use of Yuri, as he grants them treewalker, which might help them survive an axe to face encounter while huddled up in forests. It also makes it annoying for your opponent when your Kossites ignore forests entirely when drawing LOS.

'''Doom Reavers''': Take a violent criminal, chain a cursed fuckhuge sword to his hand, and what happens? You get a unit that your opponent does not want anywhere near them, and will most certainly make a point to blast them off the table. A decent MAT, combined with a good P+S, Reach, and Weapon Master means nothing is safe from Reavers. If it wasn't enough having a single model capable of cutting a Juggernauts health in half with a single lucky strike on the charge, they've got Abomination, Fearless, and cannot be directly targeted by spells (that includes yours). Unfortunately (or fortunately, based on the predicament they find themselves in) they have Berserk, so if you don't have another enemy nearby that needs to die, they tend to turn on themselves. Adding a Greylord Escort UA gives them silence, so they're not cutting into each other anymore. More importantly, he gives them Tough, and by himself contributes a decent spray to reach out and kill things with that might not be close enough for the Reavers to tear into. If you really like Reavers, run an EButcher tier list, and bring about 5 units + UA's, and laugh as your opponent realizes he has no answer to that many reach weapon master bodies running at him.

===WARJACKS===
You'll notice quickly enough that all these guys are Heavy Jacks and that Khador lacks light ones. This is because Khador lacks some of the rare elements needed to make warjack Cortex's, so with a shortage of Cortex they made all their jacks to take a beating and it's why unstable Jacks which use the Berserker Chassis are used.  This fluff was reflected on the tabletop in MK2, where it was feasible only to field one or two of them. With the dawn of MK3 and the Power Up rule (all jacks get a focus at the start of their turn if they don't have any), players are now fielding lists with [[Cheese|EIGHT warjacks in them]]. These Jack heavy builds, along with the Power Up rule in general, has generated [[Skub|endless civil debate]] in the WMH community. 

'''Berserker''': The oldest jacks being employed by any army, becoming unstable due to their cortexes aging. Because of this they are known to act erratically, charging without orders, attacking with savage brutality, and if pushed too far exploding. Even Butcher has told High Kommand "Guys, these things are unstable as SHIT!". Khadors cheapest 'jack it has respectable armor and weapons and is fairly focus efficient on its own due to it's aggression. Just as well though, when you give it focus it has a chance to explode.

'''Decimator''': Designed to tear through armor and fortifications Decimators are equipped with a Dozer cannon that lets them knock back whoever gets hit and a rip saw that can tear through any armor. Its low RAT makes it largely in effective at range sadly, though its Saw will do scary damage when boosted with focus to make it extra auto hitting attacks.

'''Destroyer''': One of our lesser used jacks. Its got an AOE cannon and Executioner Axe. The Cannon is okay, with long range and reasonably strong blast. Its Executioner Axe meanwhile completely cripples any arm systems that takes damage from a crit.  Basically an inferior [[Cygnar|Defender]] with indirect fire.  

'''Grolar''': The Orkiest of Warjacks. Has RAT 4, but for each focus you spend to buy a shooting attack, it can make two additional shooting attacks. Has Fleet and Virtuoso. Comes with an Auto Cannon, Open fist, and Piston Hammer.

'''Juggernaut''': The workhorse of Khador's warjacks, the Juggernaut has one simple purpose, to be big scary and wreck things in close combat, completely eschewing ranged weapons. It has an Ice Axe which freezes its target on a critical hit, and an open fist allowing it to grapple with its target. For its cost, it's outright deadly, though its mostly used for [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX|tanking hits]] and killing other warjacks.

'''Devastator''': Designed to be even more armored then the Juggernaut, Devastators is one of, if not the most heavily armored jack in the game. It gains extra armor when it does not attack with its shielded arms, but it loses armor when it does leaving it vulnerable. When it charges it can choose to fire its grenade launchers, making all models in B2B take an extremely powerful hit and half damage to all models within 3".

'''Demolisher''': Same stat line as the Devastator. Trades the shoulder mounted Rain of Death launchers for shoulder mounted POW 15 RNG 8 Cannons.

'''Kodiak''': Khador's fastest 'jack, the Kodiak can run for free and is not slowed by terrain. It has a pair of open fists for grappling and can make a pair of power attacks if its first two hit. It can also create a cloud affect damaging all surrounding models. 

'''Marauder''': Juggernauts who's arms have been replaced with ram pistons, letting it knock back targets it hits. Good for displacing enemy jacks, messing with enemy coordination.

'''Spriggan''': The most expensive non-character 'jack, the Spriggan is well rounded and versatile, armed with a shield, lance, and a pair of grenade launchers. The lance can punch through most armor with  ease, and the grenade launchers are good against infantry. The launcher can also be used to eliminate fog and DEF boosts.

'''Beast 09''': A souped-up Juggernaut with traits designed to make it tear apart infantry. It can run without spending focus, and make a full advance towards whoever damages it. During its activation you can spend a focus point to grant it an extra attack die against all living enemy warriors. It has affinity with Sorscha, giving an extra die against living models.

'''Behemoth''': The single largest 'jack in Khador's arsenal excluding its Colossal and the most infamous. For nearly half your army points it comes with a pair of built in Bombard cannons, and two POW 12 open fists with armor piercing. When first conceived the Behemoth was suspended due to the immense cost of making just one. The project was resurrected by the former regent when he discovered the plans, and through influence and his own fortune saw construction resumed. To this day the cost of construction has made sure that only one Behemoth has ever been made.

'''Black Ivan''': Souped-up Destroyer. Has Bulldoze and Dodge. Instead of an Executioner Axe, it has Bear Claw, a giant bear trap turned into a fist with critical brutal damage. Has Affinity Harkevich, while in Harkevich's control area, this model gains boosted ranged attack rolls.

'''Drago''': The oldest warjack in service to Khador. Drago is pretty much an upgraded Berserker with higher MAT and Executioner Axes, and can make an additional melee attack against all models in range if its initial attack hit. It has affinity with Vladimir allowing it to ignore its unstable rule while in his control range. 

'''Ruin''': Doomreaver Warjack. Has an open fist and a P+S 18 mace with dispel. Also has Soul Taker and Orgoth Seal. Has Special Issue Zoktavir, meaning it can be included in any of Butchers theme lists and can be bonded to him.

'''Torch''': An Assault Kommando 'Jack, Torch is immune to fire and corrosion. Has a Flamethrower, Spiked Fist, and Rip Saw for weapons. Comes with Gun Fighter and Virtuoso, also has pathfinder when it charges. As a star action it can use smoke bombs. Has Special Issue Strakhov so it can be included in his theme forces.
