give the lib the relic that gives +1 ML and reroll 1s on psychic tests, also, I would rather see 3 5 man units for that one additional warp charge

How do you find the DKs fare when they are the only thing on the table turn 1?

I like the list as well. However, I don't think you'll get your mileage out of Psycannons on the Purifiers. The purifiers are going to want to get close to the enemy to get Cleansing Flame off. I'd drop the cannons and add either an Incinerator or leave out the heavy weapons entirely, add a hammer or just more bodies, or upgrade their weapons to Halberds. I think purifiers are going to be great at running up, casting Cleansing Flame, shooting a bit (though for minimal damage), and then assaulting. They are a great assault unit, and I'd use them as such.

I'd also agree with getting the LIbby the Liber Daemonica if you can get it in there; it's a great piece of wargear.

this is what I was thinking of doing. after doing some play testing, my psycannons dont seem to be doing much on purifiers.. removing them would free up 60 points for various other items such as the book and maybe an ordo malleus inquisitor with 3 servo skulls for more accurate deep strikes.

or book and (insert various weapon upgrades other places)

so the edit i made... and this may seem weird to some...

- 4 psycannons from the purifiers

+ added book & stormbolter to librarian
+ 3 halberds to purifiers
+ 2 psilencers to purifiers (i happen to know there are quite a few people bringing demons/multiwound models.

20 points to bring down any multiwound model on the board in shooting. didnt seem bad to me. if not that squad of 5 will sit back and pump out 18 str 4 shots.

So i ran the list at the tournament today. 3-0 for 2nd place (got out scored by a demon list i did not get the pleasure to play).

round 1 was ultramarines w/ space wolves allies. This was a blood bath with all this AP2 guns. but, I managed to keep him shoved off of enough objectives... go go power dreadknight. purifiers and rhinos died before they got to do anything.

game 2 was a necron list. with 2 monoliths and immorals with some barges. deep strike and shunts landed him in close combat with most of his stuff turn 2. purifiers got 1 nova off killing 3 guys that all stood back up and never got to cc before my other stuff got there. tabled him turn 4 and purifiers ended up just holding objectives. dreadknights were the stars of this match too destroying both monoliths and slaying his warlord.... and his deathmarks... and... omg they are so good.

game 3 was against a tau gunline of 3 riptides and 9 broadsides a commander and fill the rest with fire warriors and path finders. My entire army was 1'' away from his army after turn 1 with a few terminators dead. he charged my dreadknights with his riptides thinking to try to hold him up a turn. won combat and they jumped off the board while my command terminators and the other dreadknight mopped up other broadsides. end of turn 2 he had 3 broadsides and a riptide left and decided to call it. purifiers sat on objectives in the back not doing anything.

I'd say the army did pretty good for itself today.

my purifiers are not meshing with this army and are expensive objective holders. I really want to use them but if I am looking for objective holders in the back, i can do that with something else and still provide something to the fight.
