We finally managed to winnow down our favourites to five:
Opponents insisting on using Smite? Teach them a lesson with this deadly Stratagem. The more Psykers they take, the deadlier it’ll be!
Archons are already some of the most brutal combatants in the 41st Millennium, and this Stratagem allows them to grow deadlier still. Even if you only use this Stratagem once, a one-point increase to Strength, Attacks and Leadership are nothing to sniff at for a single Command Point!
If the Drukhari have a disadvantage, it’s their relatively low durability. This Stratagem allows you to protect a key unit from being shot off the table (or cut to pieces), and while the Command Point cost may seem steep, you’ll be able to pack loads into your Drukhari list with ease.
While only Kabal of the Black Heart Drukhari will be able to use this Stratagem, we’d recommend taking a Patrol Detachment just to use it. Proper use of Stratagems is key to the current edition of Warhammer 40,000, and with this, you’ll be able to disrupt enemy combos or just deny them a crucial re-roll.
As free agents of Commorragh, Incubi are free to fight with who they choose, and while they don’t benefit from Drukhari Obsessions, you’ll also be able to take them in your lists without having to worry about losing yours. We’d recommend combining this Stratagem with Drazhar in particular – after all, he can now fight twice in the turn he charges.
You haven’t got long to wait now before you can unleash these Stratagems on your foes – make sure to pre-order your copy of Codex: Drukhari tomorrow, and let us know what you’re most excited about on the Warhammer 40,000 Facebook page.
