This is my first attempt to make a 2000 points list with drukhari, I've haven't played them in 8th edition yet. I'm using the Battallion Detachment:

Heavy Support

3 Talos, 6 macro scalpels, 6 splinter cannons (378)

Ravager, 3 dark lances (155)

Ravager, 3 dark lances (155)


Total 2000 points



Kabalite in venoms, grots in raiders, one haemonculus with a unit of grots, the other one is on foot to boost the talos' T value. Shock prow is there because I had 1 points spared.

If I cut those 4 blasters in the kabalite squads and the shock prow I'd have the points to fit a succubus with glaive and agoniser to join the lone unit of grots, but since they now have Ld8 they don't need a babysitter anymore and I think having more firepower is better. Does she worth it? A third HQ would also allow me to include the Spearhead Detachment and to dispose of an additional CP.

Comments appreciated, thanks!!

You could drop a unit of Kabalites and a ravager and pop a unit of Scourges with lances in the venom instead. They are very potent! that gives you 60 more points, which could get you Liquefiers on some of the Taloi.

5 kabalites with a blaster and the ravager grant 4 rapid fire 2 poisoned shots, 3 lances and a blaster. With scourges I'd have lesser wounds on the table and lesser firepower (same number of s8 shots but fewer poisoned shots). But the real problem is that my scourges are equipped with haywire blasters, which I don't want

Do liquifire guns finally worth their points? Aren't more attacks in close combat still better than some S3 autohitting shots?

If I have to drop a ravager and a troop choice I think I'd go with more talos

I'm finding the extra d6 damage and 36 inch range is well worth the loss of 5 rapid fire or 1 long range splinter shot. (Still have a shard carbine in there). I understand if you don't like it though.

The Liquefiers are doing a lot of good work for me. Have melted things from blobs of stelares to Landraiders.
