A new retooling of my DKoK army list. Wanted to build it up around the Banesword since it’s a reliable siege tank.

I personally always take a Lascannon on the Valdor, matches the range and damage of the main cannon.

Overall it seems like a nice thematic list, but I'm not sure 6 squads of Guard are enough for 3k points.

My thinking was that I’d have enough long range firepower, but I’d need something for up close in case there is some deep striking

Let me just double check, your opponents are okay with you taking legends units? Grenadiers were put to legends.

If they are, the only suggestions I really have is to drop the voxcasters. Instead use the points to swap that Company Commander for DKOK Squadron Commanders for more horses.

Drop the Wyrdvane Psykers and take Astropaths instead. They cast more reliably and have character protection. Use any spare points to give the Grenadiers a second special weapon they can take 2 per squad.

I'd probably also drop the Valdor Tank Hunter for more horses as well.

It’s a hypothetical list for casual play, I have no interest in competitive play honestly
