I'm looking for some pairing advice if possible.
I have a fairly standard maelok gatormen list that I enjoy playing and I need a 2nd list for a local painted only tournament.
I have just finished painting my dracodile and am somewhat proud of it. I want to take a beast heavy wwff list as a pairing. I'm torn between a rask list that I am comfortable with and can safely deliver itself or a jaga list that has very little defensive tech but hits so hard.
Can jaga successfully deliver a load of beasts and keep my dracodile safe until it gets into combat?

Do you find yourself a little bit worried about gunlines with Maelok? I'd be leaning towards Rask just for the delivery mechanism I think.

Yeah gun lines are a worry, but the dracodile is such a good model.

Not wanting to speak for him, but I think Azahul meant to take the Dracodile with Rask as his feat shuts down the guns for a turn if you are worried about gun lines. I’m taking a Rask-o-dile list in a couple of weeks which should be fun, if not successful. War Room Army

I think the most fun is when you use floodwaters on the Dracodile and Rask, and put Lanyssa’s winter storm up to shut down pathfinder as well. Maybe just a dream, but it may work. I’m pretty inexperienced so I don’t expect to win much but at least I get the big guy on the table for the first time ever!

Haha, feel free to put words in my mouth. I don't actually play Gator Warlocks so they'll probably sound more intelligent than what I say originally.
But yes, I was assuming you'd play Rask with the Dracodile. He helps it out in quite a few ways, and he protects your army from shooting on the approach that you might otherwise be struggling to deal with using Maelok.

JagaJaga might not have that amazing defensive feat, but she does have Grave Wind, access to Blindwalkers, Farrow Valkyries, and Wrong Eye. You should be able to keep the Dracodile in the game long enough for him to engage with a combination of a couple of those choices.
