I see that you did not listen to other people telling you that Heldrake ap3 is redundant when you have IK. Using their hades ac is a waste of their points when you can get helstorm ac on a different flyer for 55pts less.

I think you have 3 drakes and you want to just field them regardless of what people say.

So I am not going to bother to help you anymore.

Would it be possible to slap baleflamers on the drakes? Or is this the AP3 you are referring to as too much?

The tough part is, CSM only have access to the one flyer at the moment.

One.. Oh no no. There are five flyers (and two flying drop pods. ) . The others are just exorbitantly expensive.

Ha, yeah. I suppose there are plenty of FW options. Stuff gets real pricey real fast (I would LOVE a fire raptor, or any drop pod for that matter...)

Plus my LGS owner does not like to see FW in store. His reason, can't really blame him, is FW won't let him distribute so he won't support their models.

BUT! They ignore cover which is HUGE these days. Jinks? You get none, silly 2+ covers from stealth? Nope.

This is why I choose drakes. I read the other comments but didnt choose to respond. Idk why, but its the ignore cover rule that gets them everytime.

What do you mean no improvement? Please clairfy?

The ignore cover is awesome.What other flier can ST 7 AP 2 vector strike? I mean sure its not the best. But it too ignore cover. I flew off sunday with an eldar warlord with an off the table vector strike that irgnores cover

Flich's point is knights are also very good at killing things in cover. So maxing out on drakes means you are VERY good at killing things in cover.

But you have done nothing to address board control, or ranged anti tank.

How do knights get anti cover?

That doesnt give me much range if i get tarpitted. The drakes allow 36" move + 12" out flamer in any direction. I think ill be able to reach out and touch those things I wouldnt be able to by walking my add for 4 turns to get that 48" reach a drake has.

THANK YOU!

Also, i thought they errata the drake and broke its neck so it can only have a 45° bale flamer arc. Also vector strike got gimped.

No, the only erratta (May 2014) say that the drakes flamer is forward mounted. Where are the changes to vector strike?

7th dropped the number of hits to 1 , except for flyers. But you get ap 2 so its better overall imo.
The loss of 360 vision is horrible but necessary

Thats what I figured. It was just too strong 360 deg arc fire. so now its forward 45 deg like everything else. And yeah AP is way strong. id take that over the extra hits. Like i said, it allows you to fly off with someones warlord.
