Not sure the deathmarks are really adding much here. Swap out for more destroyers?

Perhaps. The idea was to put the D. Lord with them to give them Preferred Enemy for re-rolling 1s to hit and wound.

Some Tomb World in some galaxy by that one thing in that one place (or Minnesota for nosy people)

I agree with dropping the deathmarks, not much synergy with the rest of the list, especially when the Dlord would be better off riding with the wraiths (yes they are still insane together) just rekit him with a Scythe and MSS (can be cute in certain matchups like orks) or Voidreaper for the mastercrafted and more reliability vs MCs if thats your meta.

Perhaps swap the deathmarks to flesh out the praetorians? From my experience a Destroyer Cult can mulch a squad a turn easy so the extra bodies aren't as needed as the praetorians since they will most likely be taking the blunt of the opponents shooting.

Yeah, I concur with the swapping of the Deathmarks.


I highly recommend taking the Heavy D upgrade in all three slots in the Destroyer Detachment. The 7th edition incarnation of the Heavy Destroyer is pretty lethal.

D lord seems bad with wraiths. He only moves 6 a turn and they move 12 right?

Well you can string out the Wraiths a little, but then with run and jet/pack move. He moves right up to beside the wraiths in position the next turn. IE He can cover 12" moves and a run with his thrust, to keep them moving hastily.

I don't think the Deathmarks are actually a formation outside of a Decurion Detachment. They would need the little 'formation' symbol on their datasheet in the codex. So you would have to go unbound to take them in this list.

That's a very interesting point. I don't know the answer to that.

He is correct. They are not a formation.

So I know you don't get to choose the power of the ctan you get to use but does anyone else see the tesseract vault to be competitive? It has 20 s7 tesla shot additionally, almost seems like overkill for most units but against hordes of any infantry it would be devestating. Could even do well against light armor.

Well the shots have independent targeting so it's not overkill. You split them up.

The problem with the tesla spheres is they have very limited line of sight. Most of the time you'll only be able to fire 2 of them at 2 different targets. That's not bad but for how expensive the model is, it isn't great either.
