Draigo Wing

Paladins, making you nice Chapter Master look like a wussy

(As per the conversation going on here)

Lets see what I can come up with for Paladins.

First we are Paying for Draigo which while cool and all, is just a beat stick with a cool background.

275pts gone right there.

Next the actual Paladins, well a squad with two psycannons would look like this

5 Paladins,4 w Halberds, 1 w Hammer, 2 w Psycannons  315pts

Dang that's a lot, and we are expected to work like this?

Lets take 4 squads and Draigo and see how that works out...

Draigo  275pts

5 Paladins,4 w Halberds, 1 w Hammer, 2 w Psycannons  315pts

5 Paladins,4 w Halberds, 1 w Hammer, 2 w Psycannons  315pts

5 Paladins,4 w Halberds, 1 w Hammer, 2 w Psycannons  315pts

5 Paladins,4 w Halberds, 1 w Hammer, 2 w Psycannons  315pts

1495!!! Well I'll be. That is a 1500pt force right there. (but I dont think we want that ^_^)

for 500 pts left I'm thinking this...

5 Purfiers, 2 w Psycannons 140pts

5 Purfiers, 2 w Psycannons 140pts

5 Purfiers, 2 w Psycannons 140pts

Inquisitor w Psycic Communion, Daemon Blade and 3 Servitor Skulls 79pts


Now it has some advantages, like the ability to manipulate the reserves system to drop the Terminators on the enemy , can march forward and  blast with the 14 Psycannons that are being carried. They are cool enough in combat, but suffer against massed melta, but then again... with that many psycannons lobbing shots at you there is very little chance a melta can get within 12 without some kind of fast means of getting there.

I am sure there is a better way though... let me have another look... I'll get back to you...

 Draigo    275pts

Elites: 5 Purfiers, 2 w Psycannons, 1 w Hammer 145pts
Razorback: Heavy Bolters with psybolt 50pts


Elites: 5 Purfiers, 2 w Psycannons, 1 w Hammer 145pts
Razorback: Heavy Bolters with psybolt 50pts


Elites: 5 Purfiers, 2 w Psycannons, 1 w Hammer 145pts
Razorback: Heavy Bolters with psybolt 50pts

Troops: 5 Paladins,4 w Halberds, 1 w Hammer, 2 w Psycannons  315pts

Troops: 5 Paladins,4 w Halberds, 1 w Hammer, 2 w Psycannons  315pts

Troops: 5 Terminators,4 w Halberds, 1 w Hammer, 1 w Psycannons  225pts

Troops: 5 Terminators,4 w Halberds, 1 w Hammer, 1 w Psycannons  225pts

Troop: 1 Paladin  55pts

Total: 1995pts

Ehh... a little better

2 less Psycannons, but gain 3 cover making boxes with 9 TL str 6 shots.

Overall I dont see this working. The 1500pt list looks like a fun rock list, but at 2000pts I just dont feel it right now.

I would like to use only one unit of Paladins in a normal list as a good deep striking distraction unit. Land, blow something up, stay in cover protecting psycannons, rinse and repeat.

Thoughts? I would love to see what Stelek comes up with.
