Considering a Dragyri army

[isabee]

Luck'kit tai.............170
Spirit Lord.............135
2 Foci....................25
Death Device x3....270
spearslave x15......150
--------------------750 total

As I understand there are no Spirit Lord models available so I'll have to create something. What weaknessess/strengths would the above army have?

Thanks for the input,
Rob

Let me start off with this is a solid list, I would focus on ranged foci (like Ice Storm; always a crowd pleaser)

Lucky guy is so incredibly awesome, just putting him on the table makes you feel good, and makes everyone else go "Ooooohhhhh, AAAaahhhh"

You could replace the Spirit Lord with a Soul Warden. For the points, you could take pretty much any Focus you wanted with the Soul Warden for support. (and you don't need the heavy hitting aspect of the Spirit Lord)

Your Spearslaves have a very low PS, so I would suggest a Slave Taskmaster. It will keep them in line as they will be the first to go...switching out the Spirit lord would give you the points to do this.

DeathsDevices are always a good unit.......man are they always a good unit.

Weaknesses will be to ranged, but you've got plenty of slaves to cover that. Keep your soul Warden behind a Deathsdevice so they don't get sniped. Use the Ice Storm to clear the crowd....especially things like those pesky Firestorms...those give Dragyri units fits. (Until they fail a Kaboom

You seem to favor the Soul Warden. Is he really that helpful? Or does he simply add a range element to the army?

Taskmaster. Is there a model for this guy yet? How hard is it to get one of the old larger sized slaves to use as the taskmaster?

Lucky...hmmm. That would definately be easier to get than creating the spirit lord. But he is the one model that I'm most concerned with fielding. He is a LOT of points and takes up a tremendous amount of space in an Army Transport.

Between the Spirit Lord and the Soul Warden, I favor the Soul Warden because he is less points, and you already have heavy hitters in your list. The Soul Warden would give you the support foci you need.

The taskmaster has not been released yet, and yes you could get larger sized slaves to use as the taskmaster.
