Plan is to have my Juggerlord join the spawn unit and do their thing, have the 2nd naked lord with the Possessed in that Rhino. Pretty much get into assault with everything I can.

I am using that CAD for the Heldrake, I want to vector strike the Flying Hive Tyrant out of the air hopefully and then continue to burn the horde.

Any suggestions on how this can be improved? I was thinking of dropping the CAD altogether to bring a Wrath of Khorne Blood Thirster and throw some upgrades elsewhere.

That is waaaay too much tax for just the helldrake.

Drop it, or ally in decent csm stuff.

Agree with the above. Drakes just aren't what they used to be, still an awesome model if you ask me just meh on the battlefield.

You should try to get the Bloodthirster with s D weapon in there, he's a beast and will help you with anything knight or melee deathstar, even if he hits at i1 he is still weapons skill 9 or something so everything will hit him on 5+.
