This will be the army i plan on taking to my first IRL tournament in some time.
New book in hand, i realize there are some nerfs and sidegrades that have been largely glossed over by reviewers. Chief among these, for me, is the change to how Drukhari Beasts are fielded. In the past they did not take up FA slots, so i could functionally run 8 FA slots in 3 Patrols. I'm not sure how i will fit my Beasts in with such restrictions. Below is one idea, forgoing the Beastmaster's Obsession by having them in a Kabal detachment.

Not sure what to do with the remaining 7 points. I'm thinking of a Power Sword of the Bloodbrides, or a Blast Pistol on the Trueborn.
