Bigger and Badder than the biggest bad thing in the Iron Kingdoms... the Butcher is a monstrous presence on the battlefield, capable of tearing a heavy warjack apart single-handed!
Let’s hear what Andy has to say about one of Khador’s most feared warcasters...

That is one amazing sculpt… What a sexy figure ! Dynamic yet heavy, brutal-looking yet detailed, looking bearishly primitive yet steam-punk-sophisticated… It’s a huge improvement on the older sculpt.
I hadn’t heard about it, and now I’m definitely adding it to the top of my unpainted pewter hill !
He has a 10″ threat range on his charge doesn’t he? 5 + 3 + 2 = 10? Or am I wrong perhaps? Anyway… yea he is a monster… I think the 17 DEF part is a bit over the top for this guy. Not many other Warcasters can get this much DEF and he is supposed to be a high ARM kinda caster.
Yeah… I must’ve been counting his SPD as 4… that’s what happens when you’re up late filming!
You see the things I do to keep you all happy!!! 😉

Perhaps I was including the -1 SPD penalty for Iron Flesh… but then he couldn’t charge at all… you can’t with a penalty to SPD.
Who knows… certainly not me! 😉
BoW Andy
Great review nonetheless 😀
This was the guy I was going to replace Sorsha with. I was looking for a bald Warcaster, as I am bald and like the model on the table to represent me. I think I will get the Butcher and the Manhunter for my Khador army.
I don’t play warmachine but I might get this guy just to paint.
Also you all need to do Hordes videos the same way you do these warmachine videos. Actually you should try to do all videos like this I think.
I have the Hordes starter sets ready to go… I just need to find the time in the shedule! 😀

It’s funny you mentioned it, Andy, because I replaced Sorsha with the Butcher and never looked back. He’s a little dangerous to play, only because he’s such a melee monster. the temptation is to always charge him in to destroy. it’s what he was built to do. but he doesn’t have thresher or anything that would help him clear out a mob of infantry, so you gotta pick your targets or he’ll get isolated, tied up and maybe overwhelmed, even with 18 arm. I usually use him to scrap light warjacks, solos, or elite infantry. If you run him with… Read more »
You sound so excited… let me guess, you use him yourself? 🙂
I’ll have to get my regular opponent to field this guy next game, see what I’m up against lol. I’ve faced Sorsha and the big Caster that has the ‘Jack body/armour, but not this guy. At least now I’ve seen a little about him. Love the videos keep ’em coming!!!!
“and the big Caster that has the ‘Jack body/armour,”
Kommander Alexander Karchev is the name you are looking for.
I’ve never really looked into warmachine before seeing these videos, but your obvious passion for the game along with these interesting and informative examinations of the models has me looking into a Khador Battlegroup and maybe the core rulebook for Christmas.
Keep up the awesome work!
Ah Orsus, you will forever have a place in my collection. Orsus would easily be my most played Warcaster/Warlock, with only Baldur and Irusk coming close. I must admit, at first I would cram in him down the opponents throat at the earliest opportunity. While the shock of this will work at first, the first time you opponent learns a few basic stalling tricks you are done for. As insanely smashy as Orsus is, he is actually an impressive support warcaster. The only spell of little use is Obliteration, while it has mad hitting power it is hobbled by a… Read more »
