I want to amass an army that tips the points needed for an apocalypse game. here goes:

Librarian ML3 - 165
- Storm Bolter
- Liber Daemonica

Kaldor Draigo - 245

10 man Purifer Squad - 314
- 7 Halberds
- 2 Incinerators
- Rhino DT

10 man Purifer Squad - 320
- 5 Halberds
- 1 Hammer
- 2 Incinerators
- Rhino DT

5 man Terminator Squad - 451
- 3 Halberds
- 1 Hammer
- 1 Psycannon
- Land Raider DT

5 man Terminator Squad - 451
- 3 Halberds
- 1 Hammer
- 1 Psycannon
- Land Raider DT

5 man Terminator Squad - 195
- 1 Hammer
- 1 Psycannon

5 man Terminator Squad - 203
- 3 Halberds
- 1 Hammer
- 1 Psycannon

Nemesis Dreadknight - 215
- Personal Teleporter
- Heavy Incinerator
- Heavy Psycannon

Nemesis Dreadknight - 215
- Personal Teleporter
- Heavy Incinerator
- Heavy Psycannon

Nemesis Dreadknight - 225
- Personal Teleporter
- Heavy Incinerator
- Heavy Psycannon
- Nemesis Greatsword

total - 2999

So, Deploy all 3 DKs, Purifier (combat) squads and land raider squads. Deep strike the remaining two squads with the HQ/LOW. Shunt the dreads, mobilise the tanks, sorted. How competitive would this list be?

I'm probably going to be told to add another Librarian, but would like to field the rest of this army, despite the power of them, i'd rather not drop 5/6 models for 1, especially the size of the game at this level.

I'd say drop the Land Raiders for 2 more Dreadknights. Attach Draigo to a unit of Purifiers as their personal mini-Land Raider and drop their Rhino. Then use the left-over points to give all your Dreadknights melee weapons.

You're left with only 1 Rhino, but you have a good chance of getting Gate of Infinity on your Librarian. If you do, then attach him to the remaining unit of Purifiers and just have the Rhino sit on an objective.


Edit: Another thought. This isn't part of a Nemesis Strike Force, so you're not deep striking turn 1. You could drop one of the Dreadknights I suggested you add and instead take a Librarian. That'll give you 4 Dreadknights and 2 Librarians... just enough to make 2 Nemesis Strike Forces and allow turn 1 Deep Strike with your Terminators.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
So turn 1 is 4 Terminators Deep Strike and 2 units of 10 Purifiers using Gate of Infinity from 2 Librarians and Draigo to shunt up the board. And 4 Dreadknights all shunting up the board. Everything in your army is in the opponent's face turn 1 (except 1 or 2 of the Terminator squads that fail to arrive.)

If you're taking this many points, it might be worth the Command Benefit to take the Brotherhood Formation. A few dumb units, but the bonus is good.

Then you can take a CAD or Nemesis for the other units you want.

I completely forgot about the Brotherhood Formation. Yeah you might as well try for that because this is the only opportunity to take it.

Glad to see that you, the person not playing, think exactly what I do.
I wonder what the OP thinks about it....

Me too? I can't tell if you're sincere or making a jab at me for agreeing with you, lol.
