Crowe is also a threat to dk both because of his rends and heroic sacrafice.

The dk have speed, but that can me dealt with by units suppporting each other and being able to countercharge.

Protect your psyflemen. That list will lose all its dakka once the razorbacks all get sploded.

Rhino Purifer spam is what you need.

So you want 6 squads of purifers with 2 psycannons and halberds for the rest but remember to put a hammer or 2 in the army.

The the rest of the points are spent on dreadnoughts or ven dreads with 2 x autuocannon, psybolt.

That is what you need

First turn, Move forward and pop smoke. and the dreads do their work at taking out razorbacks.

THen next turn shoot at his tanks again and ignore his dreadnight, however if he assualted your tank in the previous turn now his next to you, you can assualt him.

Just shoot at his tanks untill his assaulted you with dreadnights and then just finnish them off.

You have plenty of fire power to kill his army. also use the dreads maybe shoot at his vindicare to instant death him.

Of course!

I have two fully painted Storm Ravens and one more being assembled.

So far, missiles are the method I will use to kill the DK.

But .... if he goes first he is likely to be able to destroy a couple of Storm Ravens. Thus, I wanted to see what other Dakkanauts thought of slaying three DK. Someone posted that it is no different than killing 12 terminators. Thought of this way, they are really no big deal. Of course, it is the 12 inch movement every turn that makes them a bit different.

Against a lot of MCs out there I'd agree.....but on average it takes 72 splinter shots to kill a dreadknight. That means you need 6 Venoms w/ two splinter cannons on average or better to kill one dreadknight.

So a standard DE army then?

Not even counting the ravagers, blasterborn etc. lol

Or you could hexrifle it down, and have a poor struggling Grey Knight pilot trapped in a giant glass statue that was a metal walker

Neat image though, given that the pilot would have ZERO leverage for breaking himself free, and the DE could then scoop him up at their leasure and cart him off, fuming..

Haemonculi firing squads aren't all that effective, competitivewise, but fluffwise it's hard not to imagine an upper-crust accent onto them

'Good shot, curruthers!'

I hope they weren't shunting as their scout move, which the latest GW FAQ doesn't allow:

Thanks for the reminder, though. Going to be playing my Eldar in a few weeks, so I gotta remember to set up my grav tanks more than 30" from any dreadknights if the GK player is going first.



On the question of the purifiers getting the charge on the dreadknights, purifiers assaulting from a land raider or storm raven would outrange a teleporting DK.

Yeah, DK's can be power horses when used correctly. In recent RTTs I played two times vs GK with 1 resp. 2 DK's. In each case, my S6 shooting went bad (the guy passed all his saving throws). The best way to handle them is by using guided Fire Dragons. They can get the job done quite efficiently.
