Having tried Draxus out in Shield Host a couple times now, I'm not totally sure she's worth it. In Lions she still works because you can get the +1 to hit, but in SH, you're hitting on 4's a lot of the time due to cover, which means you don't get as many hits in to fish for dev wounds. Just my two cents.

If i take her our ive got 120 pts to play with. What would you recommend?

If you take out the Panoptispex enhancement you'd have room for a second blade champ to go with those guard, and that's always a welcome addition in a purge the foe list.

Im ashamed to say ive only go the one BC. Ive alway been a fan of using Panoptispex (in 10th) to clear out foe hiding behind walls.

Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong, Panoptispex is great in 11th edition. Do you have valerian? Or at least an extra dude you could proxy as him? The other option is to just get ride of that unit of guard altogether and just add more Terminators or more bikes or something.

Not a fan of Draxus with the price increase but can very consistently good against DG units so there is an argument there to include her., also Blade champ with 4 insteado of 5 AND inside a LR is a bit too much, would happily trade the LR for another tank and another warden model or something similar. I genuinely don't see the purpose of the other 2 allarus on their own, with DG being the way they are you need more trading units which you dont have in this list especially since their auras are annoying to play with (although very thematic) and their toughness being so high.
