Here's the report against that triple Helldrake list:

BR19: The Black Buzzards VS CSM Triple Helldrake - 1500pts

Hope it's useful.

Great report Mushkilla, interesting as always and very good effort on your part. I agree with your analysis that 2 would be tougher as it's less of a point sink.

What do people feel about Voidravens now as they can't deepstrike so they can't jump in behind enemy flyers and pop them off. Still worth taking? How does a Voidraven in a list fair against 1 or 2 helldrakes?

1v1 I'd say the Voidraven has a chance but only if it can get first shot. The 2 void lances could easily destroy the helldrake outright but if they don't then the Voidraven is in trouble.

So our options at hitting the drakes are:
Snap shooting all our lances - draws a lot of fire from the rest of their army
Take a Void Raven and hope to get the jump on them
Prescience from allied Farseer on a Ravager or other unit.
ADL + QG
Other allies such as IG Hydras etc.

Which of these (and others you'd like to add) have people found effective and also fit with the rest of our army so that they still get utilised against armies with no flyers/drakes?

Against vehicle with 12+ armor, I found the icarus lascanon with the aegis line better. Put someone with BS5 or more behind and have fun shooting real anti-tank shots at flyers.
