Although I felt a little dirty playing the list, having 3 Dreadknight's taking a flank together in each game was pretty amazing.

I can imagine that you can do well even with a small number of troops since the HS units can put pressure on the enemy.
With Necrons, I'd take out your Razorbacks and the troops with Night Scythes and Immortals shoot the approaching DKs with Annihilation Barges and then charge them with DLords and Wraiths. Nevertheless, this is one of the armies I would fear a bit. However, I wouldn't fear it at a lower pt level, like 1999 pts. Then this army would be less effective (with 2 venerable(?) Dreads).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497312/5122873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497312/5122873.page GMT Re:Nemesis Dreadknight's are fun... 2k List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497312/5123541.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497312/5123541.page GMT Re:Nemesis Dreadknight's are fun... 2k List

I feel like it would have some really good matchups, and some really bad ones. If the bad matchups are not in your Meta than this list will do great.

If the enemy can deal with your Knights quickly, or are not afraid of them, you might struggle, as you do not have strong scoring core to fall back on. Your scoring units are fine, but not very durable.



Possible bad matches

Dark Eldar (AP2 and poison for the Knights, though your Dreads and Razors counter their vehicles)
Deathwing (TH/SS terminators do not fear your knights really)

Probably others that I am not thinking of. If you know the people in your area, and they are not running anything like that, then you are good. You clearly did well in the RTT



Maybe for your troops, you could consider some more 2+ saves and/or henchmen.

If you want some cheap Razorbacks with minimal scoring units, henchmen are the way to go. 12 points +the cost of the Razorback. I would not run them as your only troop however.

Maybe it is worth considering a Terminator unit as a durable scoring unit. It would also provide some target saturation with more 2+ saves all over the place.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497312/5124574.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497312/5124574.page GMT Re:Nemesis Dreadknight's are fun... 2k List

I agree there is always the potential for bad bad matchups. I think I would struggle with the 5+ stupid Necron flier list, because they can pretty much ignore the DK's completely and shoot my troops off the table. Not a soul I know plays Deathwing at any of the 3 stores I can play at. There are 2 people that I know that play DE most of the time, but only 1 of them was in this tourney. Although I did not play him, was not really worried, he has very poor target priority choices most of the time. =)

As far as henchmen, I dont own a single one and honestly I think they suck at everything other than just sitting there holding an objective. Not a fan of lists like that.
My primary list in 2k, has been either 30 or 40 GK terminators, I had my fill of them for a bit, wanted to try something different =)

I appreicate the advice though, all decent ideas to do something different with the list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497312/5125751.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497312/5125751.page GMT
