The centurions can definitely be all they're cracked up to be, and they're fun to use. The problem is they really do need draigo and at least one ml3 psyker. Otherwise they will get erased, tarpitted, or just not get where they're needed. This means your list composition will be heavily dictated by the unit due to the need for draigo, gk libby and sm hq at a minimum.

I've tried various builds but that's been my experience. Lias issodon can do a decent build but again assaults are an issue especially with no overwatch so you'll need a counter assault unit handy to dig them out of trouble. If you go this route I would take a ml3 libby with liber daemonica and try for GoI then roll any remainder on telepathy/divination hoping for invis although you'll also want prescience.

Just some friendly insight.

I'd add in draigo for the automatic gate so that you are constantly keeping those grab cannons in range. Powers that you will want are prescience, sanctuary, fore...warning? 4+ invuln from divination, and endurance. You can get sanctuary from stern. Then you use the gk lib on divination and the sm lib on biomancy.

Also, I think you'll be very disappointed with foot slogging purifiers. I suggest removing them to make room for stern/draigo/ml3 go lib and teleport packs on the dread knights for that 12" move and 30" late game objective shunt.

purifiers are deep striking - NFS formation. Thanks for pointing that out. The personal teleporters are included in my points I just didnt list them.

Nemesis Strike Force

GK Libby DLD, Warding Stave

2x 5x Termintor Squad PsyCannon, 4x Halberd, 1x Hammer

2x 5x Purifiers 4x Falchion 1x Hammer


2x Dreadknight Heavy Psycannon, Heavy Incinerator, Personal Teleporter, Greater Nemesis Force Sword

Allied Detachment

Librarian lvl 2

5x Scout Camo 5x Snipers

Centurion Devastator 4x 3x Grav Cannon, 1x TL LC Omniscope, 4x Missile Launcher (goes with GK Libby and SM libby)

K so I reworked it a bit to include a libby over a GM and used the additional points to swap bikes for scouts and ad another 5 man purifier. Like I said in the first post invisibility is off the table with my group unless it's torney play in which case I would just drop 1 purifier squad and ad draigo tiggy. Think this is better?

They can't. NSF doesn't give deep strike to the formation.

do strike squads have deep strike?

That's got to be a misprint...why would purifiers not have DS but Strike Squads do - They are wearing the same armor and it's a teleport. Literally every infantry modle in the army has deep strike except purifiers? I never noticed this because I usually don't play purifiers unless they are in a storm raven.

It's not a misprint. That's how it worked last codex too. No one really knows why they did this.

Many have tried allying in Space Wolves or Blood Angels with Fast Attack drop pods for purifiers to ride in. I haven't tried it myself.
