Cool to hear that GK are doing quite well. Was surprised that no one took a Draigowing. Happy for the Sister player, yet not surprised since its the only viable list you can build with the current army list, which pretty much means its player skill so good for them!

Yeh good news for the GK. Seems the small henchman squads is quite a big thing at the moment. Not my personal taste (pure GK myself) but if its winning its winning.

 

Id need to get a game against one to see what it is like to play against.

[Reclusiarch Darius]

Haha, I love getting proved right. I remember arguing over on Whineseer about this, telling people Henchmen lists were the dark horse of the Knight codex. They're still probably bitching about Draigo and Paladins though ;)

 

Interesting unit selection. Death-Cult in Rhinos? I guess his plan was to smoke+rush them into position, then disembark the next turn, like how Eldar deliver Howling Banshees. The rest looks pretty standard. I'm glad Stormravens are working in competitive environments, I've been afraid to field mine because AV12 just seems too fragile for such a fire magnet.

[IcedAnimals]

I look forward to seeing the sisters army for sure. Also the Dark Angel players army. And I am curious about the favorite army winner.

[MomentoMori]

Wow. That's really the true point cost price of sisters? Wish I would have grabbed me both white dwarf issues I'm severely lacking on info. Point costs that low per squad make me really want to field mine.
