Hey guys,

I'm looking for some feedback on my Drukhari armylist. A friend of mine told me he saw a lot of armylists with 6 - 9 Talos. I suppose I could play it that way, but I thought it was a bit cheesy and I don't really like the look of such armies. On the other hand ... I do like winning ... so I need to know if this army is going to make a dent in your opinion.

Thanks!

Well, I'd make the list more killy with 3 Ravagers and 3 Taloi.

Thanks for your suggestion! I guess I could do that ... but then I would need to take some stuff out. Do you have any suggestions on that?

Well, I'd consider a battalion with 2 Archons, 3x5 Warriors, 3 Venoms, and 3 Ravagers. Large squads can cause morale issues.
Moreover, a detachment with Haemi and 3 Taloi.
The rest should be optional.

I hate splinter weapons. I would change all your splinter weapons you can to blasters and dark lances.

Also if you take another Sucubus you have enough wytchs to make that a batalion instead of patrol.

I am also wishing I had a few disentgrator cannons, I am going to try to swap out some lances for them.

And don't worry about big units of warriors, you have enough other treats, they won't recieve much fire.

a. An add'l succubus is good for many reasons: more CPs from a battalion, girl support of reroll s. It's not as fluffy, but shedding the Incubi or Mandrakes for a 3rd unit of girls ups your CPs to battalion count.

b. I fielded dark lances for most of last season. Disintegrator Cannons are better mathematically versus pretty much everything until T8 targets, and even then, they're only a couple wounds behind DLs. And you'll save a lot of points, perhaps for those wyches?

c. Swap the Talos Heat Lances out for haywire guns. They're better, longer anti-tank guns.

Hey guys. Tnx for all your replies.

Yesterday I won a battle against Adeptus Mechanicus with a modified version of this list. I lost nearly all my units, but won because I had more victory points.

Lost my Talos quite early in the game, even with the 4++ from Prophets of Flesh - so that was a bit of a dissapointment.
Wyches and Incubi did an excellent job. All in all I was pleased with their performance, but I also see a lot of room for improvement.

Congrats for your victory. Well, Talos are not so hard to kill if you have less than 3, but as long as your rival is trying to kill them you will have other units scoring and killing around.

Reduce a little your units and add some Venom instead of so many Raiders. You can hide them pretty well.

But if your list worked well then go ahead and change every game a couple o things and you will be fine.
