So with my mountain of models nearly finished (More on those to come on the weekend) and more in the pipeline to purchase it is now time to start playing my 50pt games, get the timed turns and start learning the in’s and outs of the lists. My first foray into the Warmahordes tournament scene will be at the Welsh Open in May, so I will have plenty of time to play test the crap out of these lists. So the format we know is SR2012 (When it’s released) 3 lists, 50pts. I am trying to keep to Character restrictions that are being heavily hinted at, and with that I am going with……. Drum Roll……….

So let’s start the play-testing engines 😀
The Wargaming Monkey 
Might want to try a different caster besides the Butcher for this point level. He is really only competitive in Mangled Metal or lower point games under 25pts compared to other warcasters who can synergize better with warjacks and infantry. Maybe try out either Irusks or Vlads also. I’m just giving my 2 cents from my experience with the Butcher at higher point levels.
I know he is not the most optimal caster at 50pts but I love playing with him and have had immense success with him at 35pts. It may go completely pear shapped but I want to give him a shot. Irusk and strakov are next on my list of casters to dabble in though 🙂
For sure…I went balls out with a friendly game and went pure warjacks with him and totally abused full throttle. When it comes to scenario play is when it gets rough. Irusk1 is pretty awesome for scenario against armies that don’t have pathfinder or trouble giving that to units. Also Irusk1’s feat would be pretty effective on your list that has 20 units. I’m still playing around with Strakhov, not sure how I feel about him yet.
