So, I am back. The Master of Mandrakes is back in the game.... been gone for several years. Reading allmost anything about "drukhari" as we now are called, written in the last 2 years, seeing many many battle reports, splintermind etc... I think I got an idea of the curent meta.
I am trying to build a list for an ETC game I will have in 2 weeks. So the list is self explanatory but I still need your input for the last few points left plus your input around the strategy I will be using.
The list:
Battalion Detachment
Detachment Type
*Custom Coven*: Dark Technomancers, Experimental Creations
+ HQ +
Haemonculus [5 PL, 81pts]: Electrocorrosive whip, Hexrifle
Haemonculus [5 PL, 81pts]: Electrocorrosive whip, Hexrifle
+ Troops +
Wracks [3 PL, 45pts]
. Acothyst: Haemonculus tools
. 4x Wracks
2 x Wracks [3 PL, 52pts]
. Acothyst: Haemonculus tools
. Wrack with special weapon (up to 1 for 5 models): Ossefactor
. 3x Wracks
+ Heavy Support +
Talos [18 PL, 294pts]
3 x Talos: Chain-Flails, Macro-Scalpel
Talos [18 PL, 294pts]
3 x Talos: Chain-Flails, Macro-Scalpel
+ Dedicated Transport +
4 x Raider [5 PL, 80pts]: Disintegrator cannon
3 x Venom [4 PL, 75pts]: Splinter Cannon, Splinter Cannon
Spearhead Detachment
Detachment Type: Kabal of the Black Heart
+ HQ +
Archon [4 PL, 57pts]: Labyrinthine Cunning, Splinter pistol, Venom Blade, Warlord, Writ of the Living Muse
+ Heavy Support +
3 x Ravager [7 PL, 140pts]: Disintegrator cannon, Disintegrator cannon, Disintegrator cannon
++ Total: [116 PL, 9CP, 1,921pts] ++
So the Idea is that I use the Raiders and Venoms very aggressively. That means charging and fighting with them as well as shooting. +1 in st wil help. I will use them to screen the Talos as well so that I protect them from stuff that could hurt them if they got charged.
+1 St for Talos could allow me to wound T4 (marines) on 2's.
Disintegrators giving 3D are awesome!
Haywire blasters and DT are awesome!
Hexrifles and DT are not very effective but they are scary.
+1 T for vehicles and Taloi (hemi close by) is nice!
I have some points left. Do I get Mandrakes for them? (I loooove them and like their utility and Mortal woulds ability that actually fits the Hexrifles and ossefactors) Drazhar? a 3. Hemi? What do you think will fit the tactic and army? Are ossefactors worth it? (thats 14 points more). Arethe seoconds cannon on the venoms worth it?
A peny for your thoughts!
