So I was reading my GK codex, and I noticed that the Grand Master's Grand Strategy rule limits the usage of it on ICs, inquisitorial Henchies, and Mordak's Ghost Knights. What it does not limit, however, are assassins.

My thought is this, for 130 points, it seems like having a thing that hits at S5 I8 w/ up to 10 attacks on the charge that can outflank seems amazing. Anybody else agree?

Well considering it used to charge 12" it's not that bad. Back then it could consolidate into combat and clear out armies by itself... Right now it kinda sucks.

Yep that would work. You can also make it scoring.

A scoring vindicaire is a lovely site to see. People want it dead anyway, but with a 3+ cover (2+ if you gtg) it is suprisignly tough to shift from your back field.

Eversor is crap for its cost. I'd consider it if it was no more than 100, but it's so woefully underpowered compared to the vindicare (and to a lesser extent callidus and even culexus).

Remember back in the old DH codex when Eversors could infiltrate without a 200 point HQ choice?

Why the hell do you think the outflanking Eversor is amazing now that you need a 200p GKGM to outflank it, when it was terrible when it could outflank for free?

Because I am bringing Draigo for my paladin list anyway, and why not add another element of melee? That and a model that can get 5-10 WS 8 S5 power weapon attacks on the charge that can reroll failed wounds does, for 130 points, actually sound pretty good, providing one has the points to throw around with it. Figured it would be a good disruption unit.
