I think I might have a handle on a reasonably competitive Draigo list now. I stole most of it from Hulksmash. I won't have as much S8+ target saturation as my previous lists, but I think the extra bodies will compensate:
HQ
Draigo
Troops
GKSS with Pyscannons x2, Pysbolts, and Rhino
GKSS with Pyscannons x2, Pysbolts, and Rhino
Paladin Squad
DH and MC Pyscannon
Halberd and MC Pyscannon
Halberd
Sword
DH
Elites
Purifier Squad (5) with Pyscannon x2 and Rhino
Purifier Squad (5) with Pyscannon x2 and Rhino
Heavy
Dreadknight with Teleporter
Pysfleman
Pysfleman
5 Termies from hell, 30 Marines, 4 Rhinos, a DK, and 2 Pysflemen seems like a fairly solid force.
I think you need a lot more bodies at 2000 or stronger ones. If you aren't taking more paladins, then why take Draigo?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about this at 1997?
Draigo 275 points
5 Paladins 2 psycannons, 2 swords, 2 halberds, 1 hammer 315 pts
5 Paladins 2 psycannons, 2 swords, 2 halberds, 1 hammer 315 pts
10 Strike Squad, 2 psycannons, psybolt ammo, rhino 1 halberd-justicar 285 pts
10 purifiers w 4 psycannons, 6 halberds, and rhino, 332 points
Dreadnight w Teleporter 205 pts
2 x psyfleman 270 pts
That's definately another way to go. I am afraid the 2 rhinos lose too much saturation, though. That and the non Draigo squad will get eat all the S8 fire, neutralizing Draigo's SS and EW. It is still an option to consider though.
