What are some of your thoughts on the best way to deal with Wraith Knights, Dread knights, and Demon princes at the 500-1250 points levels. I can expect to see terminators and scat bikes with them, another may be drop podding Centurians. From what I am reading the Decurion Detachment lacks any real killing power at low point games. So what would be some good ways to deal with these types of lists.

If at 500 pts an opponent is bringing a WK, do not play even put models on table. But otherwise, just try and ignore, or throw wraiths at it, can combat most of the issues you might have.

Not playing against the tuff lists isn't really an option. A lot of the players in the area 80% + , all love their cheese. I don't mind it, just need to fine some good answers for it.

How are they squeezing a Wraith Knight in a 500 point game?

They still need 1 HQ and 2 troops.

The synery between a judicator battalion and a destroyer cult is good. If you can fit a reclamation legion in for decurion bonuses all the better. A tooled up destroyer lord with a tooled up overlord and a squad of praetorians will cut down most things in CC, from terminators to demons.

Destroyer Cult and wraiths with a destroyer lord with them. A large Dcult can kill a wraithknight, a smaller one can peel a few wounds off of it, and then wraiths can finish it off.

It is possible

Warlock Conclave = 35
Windriders w/ Scatter lasers = 81
Windriders w/ Scatter lasers = 81
Wraithknight =295

No warlord trait but ehhh.

Destroyer Cult would probably be best. Maybe a cheap Decurion w/ Deathmarks for 2+ to wound when they arrive (not sure how viable that would be)

unbound?

Its not just 500 points was also up to 1250 so I will be seeing them. But at 500 points most of the small events only require 1 troop choice etc. At the 1500 to 1850 mark there will be total cheese lists all around. For the most part no one seems to go with a lot of air units very often 2-3 tops.

I'm pretty sure a Decurion minimum base costs 475.
This does not include the extra required detachment, of which either the flayed ones or the deathmarks are the cheapest.
