Thanks for sharing your train of thoughts regarding the development of your list!
Like TheBaconPope I agree, that those Obsessions are up to the personal play style and each has its merits.

On a side note - I'm always confused on who is who when I see your avatar pictures

Don't worry, it confuses me too.

As for the Obsessions, I like how all in pain-train Flayed Skull is.. just not for my particular playstyle.

From your blog about powerful HQ: "Red Grief specific WL trait of 3++/5++ vs. shooting"

Are you suggesting Succubus has normally 6++ vs shooting? Because her save is flat 4++.

No, that was an oversight. I'll go correct. I think I accidentally reduced our FNP save of 6++ to 5.

Love your blog! While I don't necessarily agree with all of your conclusions, you at least give specific examples as to why they were drawn, which puts you head and shoulders above most folks out there.

Regarding your most recent post:
That said, anyone expecting Harlequins to be a good standalone codex must be new around here. Think of them like Deathwatch, where some of their units might fill a specific need. I haven't looked at the leaks, but if their bikes got anywhere near the treatment Reavers did, that might be where the competitive choices come from.

Thanks, and they didn't Still very overpriced, sitting at 46 per with only 3 attacks base.

That's unfortunate. I love the idea of Harlequins but I can't think of something in their kit that something else in the Aeldari line won't do better.

Since this is the request thread, could I suggest a post (even a recurring one?) of the best builds/tactics for Drukhari to handle common meta lists? How best to take down 3 Riptides/Stormsurges/whatever the commies are doing nowadays, how to kill other Drukhari as Drukhari, that kind of thing.

Sorry I haven't been able to reply. Been super busy moving into a new house!

Just to let everyone know, BFG: Armada II will be having pre-order beta starting Dec 5th-12th, and I will be primarily playing us, the Durkhari!
