Well tom the reason I'm taking drago really is for the abilities that I get for having him, instead of a regular beserker, since a normal beserker doesn't get A) Vlad's Affinity of virtually S&P, an B)a normal Beserker doesn't get Critical System Failure, which really improves his threat against all other jacks. Also I'm not required to take my unstable result, which can more than likely save my life in times of need. I'm exchanging brutality for a thresher like ability, which makes it very much worth it, so long as I hit with my 2 initial attacks, which is fairly easy since I am mat 7, on at least 3 dice removing the lowest, and that's better than a headbutt, however I can't knock them over, but I would rather do damage to the people around me. sure the imprint of run riot sucks, spending 1 focus to move 1 Inch, but it's there, while a beserker has no imprint. Overall those 2 points more are worth buying Dragon instead of that other guy, and Drago makes up for that by a lot.
This is what I was thinking
PVlad +5 Behemoth 13 Drago8 wardog 1
6battle mechaniks 3 battle mechanik offficer 2 Great bears of gallowswood 5 10 kayazy assassins 8
This I think has all the power I need, but recommendations? I'm not sure actually what I should be afraid to face, considering I've only fought Bobby and Stephan.

Sorry Mike, I was thinking you still got the Critical System Failure with the Berserker. I'm not discounting Drago at all. I think he's a great jack for 8 points, I was just trying to think of some way of saving you even more focus while retaining great hitting power.
The only wish I have for that list above is some way to put the Kayazy Underboss in it. They're still good without him, but with him they become nearly untouchable in melee against your average trooper model, plus his mini feat lets them get to whoever they want to. Wall of troops in your way of getting to the enemy caster? No problem. Pop the mini feat and run right through them, without fear of free strikes!

Yeah, you're definitely better off with min Kayazy and the underboss rather than a full unit without him. His tactics are fantastic, and the minifeat goes a long way towards making them good... basically, kill them or they'll stab your caster to death.

I did some quick thinking, and since I won't have any men of war, part of the mechanik's ability is pointless. with that in mind why not just swap out the mechanik officer for an underboss? Then I have the same model count and a better threat

Yeah, the Mechanik Officer is cool; but hardly necessary even with Man of War. Without, I wouldn't really bother running him.

Well I think that an army of men-o-war, it can help. I want to try the behemoth drago list...
