Privateer: Man-O-War Theme Force – Armored Korps
We are doing some steam-powered list building with the all-new Man-O-War Theme force from PP today!
In my first article, we took a look at what came in the box of the Man-O-War Theme Force and breaking down what the units did. Today we are making a list with these awesome models. So here are the basics of what we have to work with:
- Man-O-War Demolition Corps (plastic)
- Sergeant Dragos Dragadovich (resin/metal)
- Kommandant Atanas Arconovich & Standard (resin/metal)
- Battle Mechaniks unit (6 models) (metal)
- Man-O-War Suppression Tanker (resin/metal)
- Greylord Forge Seer (resin/metal)
We want to use the awesome theme for Khador called Armored Korps. This will give our steam-powered dudes a little more bang for the buck. It does limit our options a little bit but, since we are using this great new box set it goes along with our plans. Here is an article on Armored Korps I wrote that has more detail.
The main benefits of Armored Korps is:
- For every full 20 points of Man-o-War and Mechanik models/units gain free a free Khador CA, Tanker solo, or medium-based Man-O-War solo.
- Free models don’t count towards the 20 points.
- Gain +1 to all Repair rolls.
- For each Khador unit in this army, one Man-O-War model/unit in this army can gain Advance Move. (Advance Move – Before the start of the game but after both players have deployed, a model with Advance Move can make a full advance.)
So we know what we want in the list and we have some cool theme benefits, now we just need to pick a warcaster and a few warjacks to lead our new force into battle!!!
Who else but the Man-O-War herself but Sorscha3 aka Kommandant Sorscha Kratikoff? She gives out some amazing benefits to warjacks with flank (Man-O-Wars) and has a feat that keeps us safe from charges and shooting by putting a bunch of frozen clouds up. She is a little slow in my taste but still packs a nasty punch if she can get there. Last but not least is the warjacks. Since Sorcsha3 brings a pretty tasty field marshall we can get away with some of the cheaper jacks Khador can field.

This list gives you a bunch of cheap heavies that hit hard if they can get a brother Man-O-War in melee with the enemy.
