there's a lot to not like about draigo. the thing that gets me most about him is his ability to traverse, not warp-corrupted realspace, but actually within warpspace - the dimension where corporeal life cannot exist without significant shielding, and last time i checked draigo doesn't carry around a geller-field generator. but now i'm hoping that the encroaching end-times will have draigo succumbing to the warp: yes he's powerful, as the supreme master of the grey knights he should be, but even he should not be able to survive in the gods' back yard, let alone beat the crap out of everything he comes across while there. if the end-times intends to shake-up and re-invigorate 40k's storyline then 'the most favoured champion of the gods, chaos-lord draigo' has a nice ring to it :)

@los, do necrons have inter-galactic capabilities? i know the silent king was scoping things out just outside our galaxy but i'm not sure they have the ability to move to a new galaxy. and when i say that no species can survive tyranids on their own, i also meant that there would still need to be a galaxy left behind the conflict to live in. if it came down to simply destruction of the tyranid species at all costs then yeah, the necrons could easily do so by activating huge swathes of the celestial orrery. the problem implicit in such an action though would be the ensueing galactic cascade: necrons, or the one currently in possession of the orrery, refrain from using the orrery even on individual stars as the resultant disappearance of a huge source of gravity destabalises neighbouring star systems, which in turn then destabalises their neghbouring systems, and so on. even 'popping' a single star requires millenia of intense stellar-micromanagment to keep things relatively stable, but to completely destroy the tyranids would require a huge percentile of stars to be popped and there would be nothing anyone could do to prevent the destabalisation of the galaxy. so a war of attrition only chaos could win, but if necrons actually have the ability to move to another galaxy, or an insane necron gains possession of the orrery, then they would be like "f**k y'all, we're outa here", pop, pop, pop.... :P
