Wraithknights?

I personally don't like making him 300 points. I like the Str. 10 to blow a vehicle and then assaulting possible occupants. And because some of the pesky units like Tau Commanders, Bikers, and such are T5, I like doubling out those guys.

All solid reasons guys and I was in the exact same mindset when I built my model. Its the go to option for most and im not knocking the HWCs, their sick. however in various games I did find when my opponent had legitimate ways to threaten him or bog him down badly (gants, charnal scarabs, grav bikes, beast packs) or his HWCs just didnt have ideal targets the 2 shots felt underwhelming. I gottta say though disi ravs arent even in the ballpark of the potential damage of that weapon.  
Now all that said I still cant squeeze it at 1.5k but anything higher its my default option. (I play anything from 1k to 1850).

Potential damage, sure. But how often does that potential damage actually occur. I struggle to hit more than 2 or 3 models under a small blast in 90% of cases. On average I'll hit maybe 2 and that's assuming the shot doesn't scatter off target.

If you play against people who regularly bunch up expensive models then you'll be laughing but I don't see that happen too often.

Actually I do see the situation come up fairly often. Maybe it's just the terrain heavy boards we use, or maybe it's the scenarios + horde armies I also face. Idk but either way the gun is good and really the only place to access blast weaponry that's worth a damn is via allies.

I magnetized all of the options on my knight. I usually use the HWC. Buuut one of these editions the other options may end up better. So I prepared for the future ;-)
