I've been running the 3+1 dreadknight/GMNDK list with interceptors, 3x5 strikes, chappy, Draigo and and purifiers for their purifying flame. I think the fifth dreadknight would be worth it.

Four games in and 3-1 so far,

As much as I love Draigo, I'm not sure I'm getting the 180 points value out of him versus a different HQ.

I wish there was a way to speed up the techmarines, I have one but have not tried him out for the reasons you stated @Wuestenfux

I do like the chaplains litanies for buffing a big squad of interceptors, but he suffers the same issues as the other HQs, just too dang slow.

I run the Battlefoam Magna Racks for my Grey Knights. I can fit four or five dreadknights on one tray and the remainder of the army on another. Makes it efficient from a space standpoint, and much easier to deploy/remove from the table that traditional foam.

I think* we'll see three of them in basically every Tau list. But yeah, going to seriously reduce the efficacy of Dreadknights, Dreadnoughts and basically anything high wound.
