I am a Khador newb as well,
Does anyone use/recomend Marauders? I played a "proxi" game with them last week and they ripped every enemy warjack they encountered into shreds. The 'combo-slam' just sent the opposition packing.
Also, is the Behemoth any good? I like the idea of having a model on the board that will make my opponent shit a brick.

Marauders are good for fun/friendly games but lose a lot of effectiveness in competittive play. They really are one trick ponies and most savvy opponnents are not going to place all their units in a line to help you get the most out of a combo slam. the downside to them is if you lose an arm you lose the combo slam ability.

The Behemoth is pretty much like having 2 destroyers in one model. Most of the people I played against would field the behemoth in 750pts games to help with the cost savings(rather than taking two destroyer jacks). Its one of the few jacks that can fire while still in melee but keep in mind that if you lose the subcortex system you lose the ability to assign focus to the bombards(not sure if you lost the ability to shoot period, its been awhile)

I was wondering about the Behemoth and the sub-cortex. Is the focus that the sub-cortex grants free for the 'jack or do you still have to assign the focus from a warcaster?

Would a army centered around the winter guard by effective. With a good warcaster, grigorovich, field guns, etc. Ive been thinking of doing this since i like the theme of the Khador army and thought "hey a winterguard based army supported by some good warjacks and such would be cool."
I was thinking of using widowmakers as a support but want to know what warcaster would be a good pick? Kommissar Irusk? Sorska?
