Solid outline.

Major thing is to drop the psybolt from the pallys. It is not really worth it for 3 models to get S5 shots. Get more pskers or something.

The razorback needs psybolt ammo for S6 heavy bolters.

Just a few things-

What are your pplans for the psyker squads?

I'd use the last 110pts you have to give justicars halberds for challenges.

Isn't the stormraven capacity 12? And I believe paladins are bulky.. which would make your stormraven over capacity

This list looks a little like mine. Might i suggest a couple things? You could swap out the Stormraven for a Landraider Crusader and be able to get Draigo, Paladins and Coteaz all inside. You could also swap 10 Interceptors for 2 5man Purifier squads with transports. Why 4 psykers in a group, is it just for the warp charges? I am currently running 1 psyker 2 acolytes (1 with special weapon) in a transport. Yes my suggestions would give you less charges (you have 21 if i counted right with combat squads) but i feel it would be a bit more balanced and have less chances to fry your psykers brains. Hope some of this helps.

The interceptors aren't durable enough to last on their own. You're supposed to take them with DKs, because the DKs provide enough fire power to protect them.

I'd take them out for either a 10 man Termi squad or a 5 Man termi squad and Stormraven. Give the acolytes some plasma, too. They need some MEQ-killers.

In the revised list, why terminators and not more paladins? Also, in your Paladin squad, I'd drop psybolts, because they don't work on Psycannons.

In response to your question on Purifiers vs Interceptors, the main differences are:

Purifiers: Are fearless, come with Cleansing Flame and can take 4 special weapons per 10. Also get 2 CC attacks stock. Costs for CC weapons are generally lower (halberds 2pts, Demon hammers 5pts)

Interceptors : Are not fearless, only take 2 special weapons per 10, pay full price for CC weapons. But : Have jump packs with higher mobility + have the shunt move, have Hammer of Wrath (assuming didn't use Jump packs in movement phase).

So, it depends what you want them for. I find myself leaning more and more towards purifiers, because they are comparatively points efficient for special weapons, plus they have cleansing flame, fearless and the extra attack.

In your list, the 310 points for Terminators, would buy you 10 purifiers, with 4 incinerators (these are a free option) plus hammer and a couple of halberds. You'd probably have enough change to buy another Paladin for Draigo.

Then you could combat squad the purifiers (this doubles up the warp charges) and put them in the stormraven. Draigo makes them superscoring with Grand Strategy (note that if you do this before you combat squad both the combat squads will be superscoring). Then, in the game you can throw one unit out without hovering (you'll take Dangerous terrain if you scatter, but that's not so bad) and then assault out of the Stormraven with the other squad.

I'd also suggest that either Draigo or Coteaz rolls on telepathy, shooting for invisibility.

I like incinerators for the potentially high number of hits, plus ignores cover. So, on essentially combat units where you can get pinpoint precision (eg deploying from Raven) they can work really well.

There is nothing wrong with taking 4 psycannons (in fact, I often do that, then combat squad all the psycannons into a single squad and put them with Coteaz - he presciences them!) or even a split. So, if you'd prefer psycannons definitely do it. As you have to trade the extra paladin to get it you might as well rework a little to give them psybolts as well.

Don't forget that the Psykers get a power as well - I have a lot of fun rolling them on telepathy - psychic shriek can really surprise (when it works)

Have fun! I hope that your LRC lasts a lot longer than mine does - drop melta makes me sad on a regular basis!!

for the DraigoStar, I'd definitely be fishing for invisibility, plus prescience, forewarning and perfect timing. Even misfortune is handy.

I find that telepathy and divination are my go to tables. Santic can be good, but GK generally can get the juicy ones (except Vortex) anyway.

I hadn't really considered biomancy for Coteaz, but that could work well with the DraigoStar.

Just another comment, Id change the Paladins to a 3/2 Halberd/Hammer mix, just because I7 can help drop things before they can hit you,

As to Psychic tables, having Draigo go for Divination while Coteaz goes for Biomancy, Telepathy, or Pyromancy (in that order) should end up working well.

The Bro Banner isnt as good as it was since it no longer lets you automatically pass the Force activation test.

The extra attacks could be useful, though. It depends if you think its worth it. A 2/2 with banner team could work.

And yeah, the lack of AP2 hurts. The best way to combat TEQs is to carry one of your psyflemen with your Stormraven.

 TranSpyre wrote:
If you drop the banner, you can add an extra Psyker to each warband.

For the amount of points you'd have, both are good options. It comes down to taste. I'd do the psykers, allowing one in each unit to roll Divination and a second to roll for something like Biomancy or Pyromancy.

EDIT: Looking at your list again, you're actually at 2004 points with the banner. Removing it for the psykers drops you to 1999.

The warbands are supposed to just hold objectives. Ride the Razorback, then disembark and treat it like a giant acolyte with a heavy bolter.

Use the Raven to drop a Dread in the mid field, leaving the other in the rear giving cover fire.

The Crusader obviously carries the Draigowing, then is a good source of firepower in it's own right. Then you use the Draigowing to tarpit heavy units.

Where I play we are allowed +/- 10 points of whatever amount we are doing, in any case I went with the psykers. Now I'm still not too familiar with GK tactics, but with these cheap scoring units, they are pretty delicate
outside the razorback, what am I looking to be doing with them? Keep them in as long as possible, and just hold the objective?

If you take extra psykers, in a squad, remember that you don't get an extra WC because they are not "psykers" per se, they have the Brotherhood of Psykers rule. I'd suggest you try and squeeze out an additional henchmen squad (you can take a couple of acolytes from the other squads) for the extra WC point.
