Is Thexus with 60 Drudges still a thing? I have a friend who might be looking to pick them up. If they are still a thing what pairs well with them?
Thanks!

Theuxs + 60 drudges was alright having played it, but you gotta use the drudges to get most the work done and you have to be very careful about when and how you commit your wreckers... but I do find Thexus is a pretty powerful caster, and I have a list that uses a decent amount of drudges and three Wardens that does pretty well.

Step 1 - run
Step 2 - pass clock
Step 3 - win

Yes, it's a thing, shoe is just a negative nancy.
With that many models, you will be outnumbering even most infantry spam list. With the recursion abilities of the Mind Slaver you will eventually overwhelm them. Your feat is also an excellent tool to clump them up and spray them down with Overlords or Mind Slavers. The Adrenal Flood ability allows you to deal with medium armour effectively and the heavies can deal with higher armour. Against ARM spam you might have issues, but you do have Telekinesis and 60 models to ram down their throat, so *shrug*.
The list is mostly an exercise in clock management, because you're just as liable to clock yourself as your opponent is.

Is the 6th unit of drudges worth it in place of alexia? She's made more than a few critical plays for me in the 50 drudge variant. I'm not sure either have been given their full day in the sun in a tourney setting because of the practice it takes to play the list on clock
