Tactica: Khador Decimator

The Decimator is the latest warjack to join the Khador arsenal. Like all Khador 'jacks it's big, slow and packs a punch. What makes this 'jack different is the fact it can pack a punch from range.

Basics

Based on the Juggernaut chassis we get the usual low speed, heavy armour and high hit boxes, clocking in at the same points cost as a Destroyer. Despite being ranged like the Destroyer this is where the similarities end. The Decimator is a direct damage 'jack in both range or melee, anything it decides to target is going to be left in pieces.

Warmachine: Khador Manhunter Alt Version

Second Manhunter in my collection and a worthy companion for the original Manhunter. This figure was fun to paint and I decided to use a different palette for the skin, for  darker look. I decided to give very dark/natural colours for both the lips and eye shadow, I just could not imagine Khador's greatest survival hunters running around with fully made up faces!

Decimator Tactica Preview

Regular readers will know, that after the performance of my two Decimators last weekend I will rarely leave home without them. I have been doing a lot of research and working on effective synergies these last two days to increase their kill potential and because of this, this weeks Tactica (Friday) will be the Decimator. 

Under the control of eButcher, this jack unleashed a whole new level of carnage last weekend and in this week's Tactica I will reveal just how I did it. So make sure you do not miss out on this Tactica and all future articles, become a Follower, "Join the Legion!" Widget is located in the left column.

End of Week Updates

Last weekend saw my first Warmachine game in a very long time (75pts); it was brutal and fun, just the way I remembered it. As always I used an incarnation of the Butcher of Khardov (Epic in this case) and managed to finally test the Decimators I picked up start of the year; my verdict? Awesome. Sustained attack on eButchers feat is very powerful as a line breaker and I will be fielding two of these monsters from now on. One problem with the Decimator though is the model kit, the plastic used it soft and almost rubbery to the touch and during the "heat of battle" it actually started to lean at the ankles. I dread to think what would happen if they had been fully painted...

Tactica: Khador Spriggan

Welcome to the the first of a series of Warmachine Units & Tactica articles, today's subject; the Khador Spriggan.

Basics

Based on the Devastator chassis, the Spriggan is a unusual Heavy warjack sporting a unique array of weapons. With most Khador warjacks we expect the huge amount of hit boxes, heavy armour, brutal weapons, expensive and a very low speed across the board. The Spriggan however shoe boxes into the following: slow and expensive.
