I bust out my tried and true triple dreadknight list! This time with the new GK codex and all the rumored changes!

I play a nasty imperial fist list with two squads of Centurions, and assault terminators with a chapter master in a landraider.

Primary - Relic - 4pts
Secondary - Maelatrom - 3pts
Tertiary - First Blood, Warlord, Linebreaker -.1pt each

Man, you must have had some bad rolls with Draigo, he should have destroyed that unit now that hes Str 7 ap 2 base.

Good stuff though

Yeah, unfortunately Draigo failed every save he had to make the 1st round of the challenge, bringing him to one wound really quick. He killed a 200pt chapter master w/powerfist and about 3 thunderhammer/stormshield guys so he definitely paid for himself still.He also allowed me to get my Centurions in range of his and kill that 250pt unit before it shot. I was still glad I brought him!

Definatley not what I would consider a "friendly" list game. Used up all the cheese available to grey knights with max dreadknights and draigo, so allied in some more with centurions. Must have rolled badly, because that should have been as one sided as it gets.

interesting report, I think it is funny how draigo is a LoW so now you can throw him out there to grind stuff up and don't worry about losing warlord points.

If you check my other battle reports on youtube, I've been playing triple dreadknights for a long time, even when they costed 250pts!

It was definitely a mean list though, and he only had 2 rhinos left on turn 4 and was practically tabled. What more do you want?!

It is pretty awesome, I have to admit!

Nice report. Love the GK list as I was thinking about running something similar. Thanks for this!

Ughh I can see us GK players quickly becoming TG with triple dreadknights... otherwise good performance.

For those of us who suffered with 235-260 pt DK's I can safely say who cares! I'm so excited about this point reduction it's not even funny. I have 3 extremely heavily converted DK's that I've suffered through months and months of playtime with after about 75 hours of time making/painting them.

Unfortunately the new GK codex had so many unit entries and special rules removed with nothing to replace them. All the power armor guys are much worse and there are no troop unlocks. The pricing of some models are so cheap they make the rest of the book look bad in comparison.

I would guess the two options are play the few good units left and have a very strong, top tier list or try to play a well rounded strike squad list that is very weak.

Right on!
Dreadknights are very strong now. Loving it!
