"Hi Kirby,
I've been a long time follower of the blog, and really like the content and information available. I hope you had a great Christmas and your move went/is going well. I was hoping you could help me create a Draigowing list for 1500. I've included my list below, but I don't know if it is optimal and wanted your thoughts.
Lord Kaldor Draigo, 275 pts
Librarian, 160 pts (Sanctuary; The Shrouding)
Paladin Squad, 685 pts
1 Paladin (Master-Crafted Psycannon; Nemesis Force Sword)
1 Paladin (Master-Crafted Psycannon; Nemesis Force Halberd)
1 Paladin (Master-Crafted Psycannon; Daemon Hammer)

1 Paladin (Storm Bolter; Nemesis Falchions)

Draigowing armies really need firepower support which this army has none. 16 Paladins and two characters is going to be a pain for some armies to handle but it's not insurmountable and the firepower coming out of your army isn't exactly huge. Not to mention the big Paladin squad doesn't have Psybolt Ammo or a Bro Banner so are less threatening than they could be.
With this in mind I'd be looking at dropping most of the Warding Staves, the Solodin and the Librarian. Grab Psybolt Ammo and a Bro Banner for the large Paladin squad and a couple Psyfledreads for extra firepower. They are going to be easy targets but its your best way to get firepower in whilst the upgrades on the large Paladin squad give it a lot more oomph. Be careful as well with your mixing and matching of weapons - 10 unique individual models is nice but not at the expense of efficiency.
It's still going to be an army which really flounders against several lists but getting more firepower in makes the concept a bit more balanced though running a single Paladin squad and going for a cheaper Strike squad then more units around the Paladins (i.e. Interceptors).
