I have never had the gutts to run this list. I've been thinking about doing it though. Mostly because of the disputes about whether or not the purifiers can roll for their NSF deepstrike turn 1 from inside of a pod. If they can't...I could still see the army doin welll but if they can't it could at least be gotten around by using all tactical s with pods instead of the scouts in the LSS. Lets say it does work - this is the way I would run it.

We could go completely null deployment if we wanted to but putting the LSS out and hiding them would probably be a better option and going for the complete turn 1 hammer would be best. What does dakka think? My friend has beaten my GK 5 times in a row now and I really want to break the cycle and I'm done being nice.

No likey Dakka? Anyone run anything similar?

This is certainly a way to not be nice. I am afraid of lists like this in GT for simple deathstar IV reasons.

Drop Tig. Take an INQ with skulls, daemonhammer, psy lvl 1, and term armour. Smash things to death.

Why remove tiggy? Isn't he my best chance to get invis? Ignore cover and the like?

I think that Tigurius is a good option here for the Centurions. I really like this list. I think that Purifiers in a drop pod are one of the dirtiest lists we can make with GK. Just make sure that those 10 Purifiers are Combat Squaded so you can have 2 Purifying Flames from each pod (I'm sure this is what you were already planning, but just making sure). This list will Destroy a lot of armies, even FMCs that are hard to hit with shooting weapons. Also, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to roll for your NSF deep strike turn 1. If you put flamers on your Purifiers, you can move 6 inches out of the pod, Purifying flame, run D6, then Flamer and bolters fire. So that's essentially 7-12 inches of movement out of the pod. I like it. Good luck to you good sir!

Not a bad idea to go with incinerators. Would you cut the points off the dread-knight?

Why no incinerators for the purifiers? 4 in a ten man, combiat squads, flame pychic, flamer shooting. lol

Drop the ass cannon on the storm. You will be jinking too often to shoot it. Keep them cheap and simple.

You need draigo. He is paramount on getting the cents where they need to be and tanking. You can still buy the empty pod to get the purifiers turn 1.

I would drop the 1 dreadknight for draigo. 1 is a huge grav target. you need 2 (your max in a MSF) or 3 in a cad or you are just giving those points away imho.

Also why crowe over a termy libo? lvl 3 libo is so good for his cost and can go with your 5 man termy unit.

I hate relying on GOI. A pod is just such more reliable alpha strike. Planned to go for invis with tiggy and just keep the unit cheap. Figured crowe works better than a libby in this list because lacking lots dread-knights I need something to take down enemy HQ - If I added draigo I would def switch to a lvl3 libby. Can I put draigo in an empty pod and join him with the cents the turn they arrive - or would that have to take place on turn 2?
