Hi,

A few advice on your list :
- If you take Draigo, as he is quite expensive, you need to make full use of him and of his ability to bring Paladins as troops, so i would suggest more Paladins (maybe some solo)

I would thus suggest to take of the terminator and strike squad to boost the paladin squad to full size with full psycanon (4) and maybe then drop the psyamo on paladin squad. You could add a couple of solo paladins if possible to take objectives and act as small blaster units (with hollocaust)

It would look as follows :

Draigo
Vindicare
10 paladin, 4 psycanon, apothecary
Paladin
10 Interceptor squad, 2 psycanon, psyamo, hammer

I am not used to Draigowing myself so there are probably better lists with it (for instance i would not take the interceptor in such an army i think but replace it with more solo paladins and some Dreads or DKs). For instance :

Draigo
Vincicare
10 Paladins (4 psycanon, apothecary)
Dreadnought with 2 psyamo autocanon
Paladin
Paladin
Paladin
Paladin

or even :
Draigo
Vindicare
10 Paladins (4 psycanon, apothecary)
5 Paladin (2 psycanon)
Paladin

Thank you for your reply.

I have a few problems with the Draigowing build:
- lack of enough psycannons in my packs (thanks to GW)
- I have a unexplainable antipathy against pure Draigowing.
But with what I have here I could work something like this:
Draigo
Vindicare
10 Paladins (Apothecary, 2 psycannons, 2 demonhammers, 1 sword, rest halberds)
5 Strike Squad (3 halberds, 1 incinerator)
10 Interceptor Squad (without hammer, 2 psycannons)

That way they only lack psybolt ammo

I have been thinking about replacing Draigo (since he really is frakking expensive) with Mordrak and/or a Librarian.
It is kind of a starting list which will be the basis for more higher point lists in the future.

If you want to go with that list (i still find that Draigo for one squad of paladins is not worth it, especially in 6th edition), then change your strike squad, the hallberds should only be taken on the justicar for such a squad, and the psycanon is better then incinerator on strike squad (for interceptor, it depends, but the incinerator can be really usefull there).
If you dont take the further psycanon or psyamo on the paladins, separate them to have multiple scoring units

I think I'll get a few more paladins with the next pack (3, because I want to build a grandmaster and a Librarian), so I can drop a few solodins into the list (if I keep Draigo).
Seperating the 10 paladin Squad into two scoring units was basically the plan.
I am not sure if I would give a justicar (especially a strike squad justicar) a special weapon, since they usually die first...
