Protectorate of Menoth

What's good for these guys? What should a decent army have? Best warcasters?

Warmachine doesn't really work like that. Yes there are power casters and such that everyone uses but if you don't enjoy playing with a caster or it doesn't synergize well with your play style then it's going to crash and burn. I'd advise reading the various casters and finding one you like and trying it out or finding what type of game you like to play then finding the caster that plays like that.

Thanks for the advice!

I'd suggest borrowing a battle box (starter set) off someone and learning how to play. Once you understand the basics of the rules/gameplay, you can look at any models stats and understand what they do.

As for Menoth, they are a faction with good infantry, sub-par Warjacks(overall, but a couple are great) and decent Warcasters. That being said, they are a heavily 'synergistic' faction. There are models and units that make your good units better and your warjacks much better.

Sounds cool, I think I'll pick up them or everblight cant decide which. So the starter sets for each faction are the way to go?

They're the best way to learn. Good price for the amount of models, made to be played against each other and they come with quick start rules.

Cool I'm going to buy Cassies protectorate and then grab a battle box.

There's a tournament for this at GNS on Sunday. I'll be there running it but will have lots of free time to run demo games for people if they're interested. GNS has a store demo kit of Menoth and Khador.

I cant make it on saturday I will be out of town but I will be up there on monday probably.

I can show up on Monday. I think I have two battle boxes to teach with. I should warn that I'm not a good teacher, i'll forget stuff at first but remember to tell you it when it becomes relevant.

John, the store's battleboxes should also be available to you for demo.

That's totally fine thanks a ton!
