1000 points dead on. The grots ride in the raiders while the haemy sticks with the talos' and the chronos. Thoughts?

Hi there, just a beginner in Drukhari too, had a list posted here myself. I love Haemonculii and their fluff, so I like the idea of your list ! Aren't you afraid of too little bodies on the field though ? That's my usual worry when list building. How did you equip your guys ? What do you have to deal with enemy vehicles ?

I think Grotesques are pretty over-costed for what you get in return, same with both the cronus and the talos really .

Covens in general this edition are pretty poor because most of their units points to damage ratio is off, and they are slooooow.

I think you should look to taking wracks over Grotesques if your dead set on covens. Your list also has no way to kill tanks from range that will be a huge issue for you.

Grots are great this edition. They got worse only in their most ideal scenario (fighting something that's not immune to fear and getting lucky and rolling 3 atks for rampage.). Against MEQ they hit on 3s (2s after round three) and Subtract one from their armor save. I think your list is solid stay in your raiders untill that magical turn 3 and use them together to pick off targets at Max range on the flanks of your opponent while talos and friends ideally hide behind LOS blocking cover. They're smaller than most dreadnought class models so take advantage. If they need to take wounds that's fine because they don't have a scaling profile.
