I wanna keep the old psycannon purifiers alive and deadly. My thoughts are either dropping a combat squad of them in with my storm raven so I get two cleansing flame shots as well as the psycannons but not arriving until at least turn two. Or turn one teleporting a ten man squad in with my lib to get off a few 12" shots and have table presence turn two. Does this sound good or should I give up and put on 4 flamers and SR drop em in to be more assulty.

They're gonna be your batteries for powering your [----]star which will have a ML3 Lib in it, so from there you have to decide how they can best back up the rest of the army.

With a couple of delivery choices

- you can combat squad them, choose a spare Razorback as a FA put them in it and now you have two mobile units rdy to disembark and Cleanse the immediate area with whatever special weapons they have to back them up. Swap razorbacks with rhinos if you want the firepoints.
- SR isn't too good of a choice unless you really want to have them put a dent in someone with a fast assault, in which case you won't be using Psycannons cause Salvo.

I never played using Stormravens as a actual transport because having 500 points in 1 model is usually too good of a target.

Well, cleansing flame can be devastating if multiple units can be hit.
You have a few options: GOI, SW Drop Pod, LR pattern tank, Rhino, Razorback, or Stormraven.

I'm having a lot of fun with purifiers in a storm raven. Yes, it's a lot of points. Yes, it could get shot down and a huge chunk of your points would be gone. But so far It's been working out well for me. The rest of my list spends turns 1 and 2 brawling with my opponent, and the purifiers serve as a knock out punch.

So far they've come in and wiped out Pask and his punisher buddy, a full ravenwing bike squad with sammael, and a wraithlord/talos pain engine multicharge that was particularly epic.

Just be aware that often this setup means you have to devote some time in turns 1 and 2 taking out your enemy's anti-air.

I was debating about putting all flamers on the purifiers. Removing my clexius assassin which hinders me anyway and putting both libs with each combat squad purifiers. Thats two libs rolling on santic with good chances of goi and cleansing flame. So i culd teleport in first turn and unlaod cleansing flames and incinerators. And worse case scenario i dont get goi i can just keep a squad back to hold an objective while my alpha strike hits them at home. Im just worried two libs with purifiers are wasting their potential.

I thought Purifiers don't have Deep Strike?

I think he means to use Gate of Infinity with the Librarian attached to the Purifiers.

Thats the plan. Trying to incorperate purifiers into an alpha strike list.

Put them in Rhinos as they can both use Cleansing Flame and shoot Incinerators from the 2x access points.

Another option is to add Draigo to their squad, start them on the table and GOI. You'll have to earn back their points that first pyschic/shooting phase though since they probably won't survive until the next turn. If even just 1x Purifier does survive until turn 2 though, it's probably worth it since he'll then still be able to use Cleansing Flame a second time, still providing 2x Pyschic die as well all by himself.

You can always ally in a wolf drop pod if you REALLY want them.

I wanna keep it pure gk. Im debating on taking draigo and a lib to get two sqauds in but feel like draigo and the lib wuld go better with twn termies and just SR the purifiers in.

Allying with Space puppies allows to purchase Drop pods for the purifiers? This is a very interesting idea .

A Pod is tempting.
If you mount a 10 men squad in there and let it combat squad upon arrival, you'll have two squads of 5 with cleansing flame twice.
