Paladin squad- x6- x2 MC psycannon- psybolt ammo- x4 halberds

Nemesis Dreadknight- Gatling psilencer- Nemesis greatsword

Total 1997

This is to me a great little army that can do tons of shooting and handle close combat. Pretty fun list I think =D

Expect to be outnumbered by just about any other army list, and a lot of complaining.

Complaining from who? I expect to be outnumbered, but that's okay.

where is the mobility in your army? i feel to be competitive you need to be able to make your paladins and draigo mobile?

i understand they can deep strike but what happens in high objective games?

This is not competitive. Competitive games are too arguable to enjoy. Also I don't need to be mobile with how I made this list, I sit in cover with shrouding and shoot tons of shots down range. High objective games? Well lets hope I table them or get a a high roll for Draigos Grand Strategy.

Fielding Draigo will always get complaints.

Yes I was worried about mobility as well, but then again I have a bias against footslogging armies. And I get the idea that this is a casual list, so it looks like fun.

I am aiming for another amazing painted army with every model converted as with my orks, so it's a fun list and going to be beautiful too!

i feel though although the list is casual you wont have much fun if you're 24" midrange game wont get it done against kiting eldar and superior IG firepower at longer range.

i love my paladins each is nicely painted and i take a lot of pride in fielding them as far as suggestions go:

1) since you are running a low model count perhaps do some wound allocation shennanigans? and ive noticed you didnt include the cc weps of the 2 psycannon palys. they can hold a psycannon and a weapon. i would also drop the 6th one in each squad. more on this later.
i like the mixture of 1 hammer 3 halbred 1 stave

also i dont like psybolt on the palys. the way you have it now youre paying 20pts for 4 S5 bolters as they dont work on psycannons. I'd drop this and save the points

2) i would drop the digital and MC on the libby. yeah its only 10pts but i feel its unnecessary.

3) now here come the major changes and explanations:
- i would drop the vindicare and with the points you saved take a stormraven. hows that for cover? 3+ after moving 24" and casting shrouding. i would then also drop the dreads to regular and use those points for a second raven

4)if youre going to play your dreadknight. though its pricey i would almost have to recommend the jumppack. it allows him to move 12" and now all of a sudden the sluggish MC can be a major threat in your opp. backfield with its shunt move. in relation, i would swap out the gatling for an incinerator. it tears apart low armour in cover can it wounds lots of models on 2+. pricey but it makes for a really killy dreadknight.

draigo scouts the dreadknight then next turn it shunts and proceeds to tear your opp a new one. and if you have to do a wweapon (i wouldnt) i do hammer instead. it lets him hit at Init AND it doubles his strength (since he got neffered with the FAQ being only S6).

so now you have youre small amazingly painted army just more durable (wound allocation on palys), mobile (stormravens with a 3+ cover save), and a huge mobile threat early game or can contest/ claim late game objectives (dreadkngiht).

thats my 2 cents sorry for the length

Hmm, I like where you're going with this. Let me go mess with army builder real fast =D Thanks!

Okay, so now I have.

Lord Draigo-
Librarian- Sanctuary-Shrouding

Paladin squad x5- x2 MC psycannon-x3 halberd
Paladin squad x5- x2 MC psycannon-x3 halberd

Stormraven- TL MM- TL assault cannon
Stormraven- TL MM- TL assault cannon

Nemesis dreadknight- Heavy incinerator- Deamohammer- Teleporter
Dreadnought- Psybolt ammo- x2 TL autocannon
Dreadnought- Psybolt ammo- x2 TL autocannon

so all the points fit? lol im a bit surprised lol. let me know how this plays for you.

also as i mentioned before. youre paladins can carry a psycannon AND a weapon. i suggest putting a hammer in each squad and either a sword for wound allocation or another halberd.

I actually have most of the models for this army already... I hope you dont mind me stealing the concept, but it looks like a fun list XD

dreadknight with jumpack can charge FIRST turn, if you give it scout

Yes it can I ran a 2x grandmaster alpha strike list and Dreadknights really don't even need shunt 12" scout move with a 12" first turn move is enough in of itself to be a threat. List was this

Grandmaster - 175

Grandmaster - 175

Interceptor Squad x10, PC x2, Psybolt, MC DH - 315

Interceptor Squad x10, PC x2, Psybolt, MC DH - 315

Dreadknight - PT, Hvy Incinerator - 235

Dreadknight - PT, Hvy Incinerator - 235

Strike Squad x5 - Psyback - 150

Strike Squad x5 - Psyback - 150

Dreadnought - TL AC x2 - 130

Vindicare Assassin - 145

I had 5 points leftover so I MC one of the GM's weapons but the list decimated a blob straken guard, struggled with a 6 raider 3 ravager 3 venom DE and handled some standard nid stealer and ork kan wall lists but was very fun to play. I found myself using the grand strategies for things other than scout, the rerolls for the s5/s7 shots on interceptors was nice, in a few of the games. I do feel that in the different lists I've used and even with this one that 10 purifiers kitted out in a rhino is more cost effective and deadlier than interceptors in most cases but theres just something about jumping around like a crisis suit and blasting stuff at abandon while still being a fairly effective CC unit thats just fun.
