So, much like many of us I am trying to come up with w a basic plan of how to adapt to 9th edition. I'm really not sure where to go with my Drukhari, so I have decided to go to with my 2nd army.. KHORNE. What can I say, I can't help it. I like the bad guys.
So after endless battle reports (read and watched), countless forum reads and puzzling through my collection. I have come up with this list.

Game plan.
Secondaries 1)Engage on all fronts; due to the nature of the game I want to do this any way 2)attrition: due to the nature of my army I want do this anyway 3) this one I will look at my opponents army or the mission specific ones to fill out.
Pre game 1) if my opponent will allow me, I will make my daemon engines into a soulforged pack and give my discordant the field commander trait. If not I will save that 2cp.
2) Regardless I spend 2cp to place the bloodletters in deepstrike.
Deployment 1) Try to use terrain to my advantage and hide as much as I can, and be ready to push hard out my own deployment. 2)look for opportunities to use wild urgency for scout moves with my Defilers if forced to go first but otherwise, I will usually want to go second. Weather the first turn shooting, and try to take advantage of my opponents push to the objectives.
So if anyone has got any suggestions on army construction, secondaries, things I should watch out for, ect... I will gladly listen to any and all advice given.
Thanks for reading.
