Hello everyone, I used to run a null deployment deep striking Duke list back in 5th, but after a few games with the current edition I just dont like how it plays anymore so Im going to change it up. If you could have a look at the list Id appreciate it, thanks.

ravager

talos with TL liquifier
9 reavers, 1 champion, 3 heat lances.
total cost 1849
Typically I use blaster born and blasters on my reavers, but I feel with so much less mech on the table the blaster born werent needed as much as before. Im also not used to using heat lances on the reavers, going to have to get in a lot closer than before, 9' as oppoised to 18' from the blasters, but Im hoping that with the inclusion of pre-measuring that wont be such an issue.
The haem is there to give the reavers a pain token and thats about it; jink save + skilled rider + FnP should make them just tough enough that my opponent cant shoot them a couple times with an auto cannon and forget about them.
The duke is the duke. Best HQ in our book and easily one of the best in all of 40k. With his abilities I can deep strike reserve some of my army if I dont like my opponents deployment, he gives those trueborn 3+ poison on shardcarbines and I get 2 rolls on the drug table to combat getting the 1 which does the reavers zero good.
