With the new codex pretty much out there, thought I'd try making a list with what essentially many of us have deemed the few good units left so: Dread Knights, Dragio, Librarians, Terminators. Some of
the points maybe off a bit or I might be getting some rules wrong, in which case please out thanks.

Having draigo on the field with a librarian and paladins to man an aegis line equipped with a comms relay for the 1st turn Deep striking formation, then they use gate of infinity to get to the front lines with the other Deep strikers.
The librarian has the Domina liber Daemonica relic for an extra roll on sanctic, which I'm hoping gets either vortex or sanctuary. I'm thinking having him roll his other 3 MLs on either telepathy for invisibility or divination.

Do the new paladins still need 5 to take a special weapon?

I think your right, I'll fix that. Will have to add two more paladins, probably have to do a lot of readjusting.

I have a spare 15 points. Not sure if I should go Psilencers or heavy psycannons for the NDKs.

Had some great success with the Heavy Psycannons so far. I would recommend picking up a Teleport Homer and putting it on the interceptor sergeant. That way whatever doesn't come in turn 1 can come in turn 2 without any scatter after you shunt Turn 1 with the Interceptors.

Just to add about the psilencers, I think they are great if you know what army your opponent is playing or units they are running but I hate tailoring lists to specific armies.

When it comes down to it, I feel the Heavy Psycannons are better take on all lists.

sounds good, and yeah i don't really like tailoring anything to one army so I think the psycannons are the better option overall. Thinking about rolling 3 times on divination over telepathy just because of the overall better table. I was also debating just rolling 4 times on sanctic, but i think its too much overlap with all the powers the paladins and draigo already have.

Was wondering what people think of this list. I want to use GK draigo purely cause I put a lot of effort into my model's paint job haha, and I thought using 2 librarians to ensure his unit gets all the powers he needs so sanctuary and forewarning. I'm pretty sure I'm putting too many eggs in 1 basket though.

I would say keep the staves on the libbys. It already gives +2 strength (if I remember correctly dex not near me) and then have a squad cast hammerhand. Plus ward ability is super useful due to 7th being psyker heavy.

sorry i meant drop the hammers and keep the staves

Staves are great for the S and the boost to psychic D, like the NDK's I need a pair of those for sure!

Yeah i originally dropped them for more AP2, but i think draigo and 1 hammer paladin should be enough. Anyone think it would be worth it for a brotherhood banner in the paladin unit?

I had a game today with the updated list against Astras militarum and won. I had the first turn so i had the interceptors man the aegis, and everything came in 1st turn. Dragio and paladins in front of a pretty heavily bubble wrapped area of tanks.

the normal librarian rolled and got invisibility early so I switched and got prescience from divination. The relic librarian rolled all on sanctic and got everything but vortex and purge soul.

Draigo was just a monster along with the Knights. I Deep striked the Terminators 24 inches away from most of the enemy units for the psycannons then using the formation ran back to spread out and get out of demolisher cannon range.

The only thing lacking was solid or reliable Anti armor so I'm going to try this next time i get a chance.
