I haven't tested it yet, but just wanted to run it by you guys to see if this could even work. I played something similar a bit ago and it was pretty solid. What do you think?

So pretty straight forward. maulers go in first to cover the rhinos so the can capture objectives and what not. Warpsmith is with the 5 CSM. My only concern is DSing the dreads. Am I missing something? Is there something other than the Dimensional Key that makes DSing safe in this dex? I thought icons could but apparently they don't do that in this dex.

Why the 3 heldrakes? I think I would almost rather have some bikes or spawn or just more troops. A fortification would be more useful. I'd keep two if you like, I just think three isn't always point efficient since vector strike was nerfed.

I used to run 4. I've never seen diminishing returns on them. With that said, I have been thinking about juggerlord w/ spawn. That's always fun. I'm also wondering if some oblits might be better too.

Vector strike isn't nerfed, it's altered. Now it's AP2 making it better at killing vehicles (or really just as good as it used to be) so they're very useful for killing fliers.

3 fliers, but not much AA. Maybe change a Helldrake to Hades. You'd be screwed against Cron Air, etc.

Not sure if only 3 AV12 walkers would cut it at the start of the game, you are also heavily dependent on the reserve rolls, I'd either make space for the ADL that lets you re-roll reserves or take out the heldrakes and add more Monsters.

Some allied daemons would be great so that you can get a soul grinder, king of the chaos monsters.

Whoops... there doesn't seem to be anything here.
