Grey Knights

[fatolaf]

Most people either take las/ plas combo or twin las for tank busting.

I was thinking twin las

Also re cheap HQ what about an inquisitor with forceweapon, hammer hand, rad and phycojoke grenades? About 100pts, buffs the hell out of hammer unit and not useless himself

It's going to be pure grey knight, no inquistors or anything like that.

Thinking of just using the Brotherhood Champion (use the Castellan Crowe model) with a few cheap toys, or a Librarian in his pants...

What about the vehicle options, any worth taking, ie extra armour?

I vote storm raven: get where your going. Also 4+ turbo save beats av14 (which is melta bait)

PLus it just looks cool and like it's from Aliens (which is the theme of the army)

At 1k, vehicle upgrades are probably a waste, as it'll eat into your other choices for intermittent benefit at best.

Raven is a cool model and will get you anywhere on the board (4x4) quickly. Give it extra armour if you can - the only vehicle upgrade I would consider.

Maybe take a Libby as your HQ, for psi-defence. Coming up against any psychically orientated opponent (BA, GK, Nids, Eldar etc), you'll be glad of the psychic hood.

My 2p's worth :)

And some of his powers are great, shame the model is not much cop IMO....

Does anyone know why there is no AB file for the GK yet?
Very annoying...

I've been wondering that myself... They are usually onto it really fast.

EDIT: I think Las/Plas is better now, given the FAQ saying you only lose one of the weapons not both, to a weapon destroyed result, so it can still keep shooting. but its a bit of a coin flip really...

Apparently the reason the AB file is taking sonlong is they are re doing the spacemarine file from the ground up due to issues with it beig so old and now so big. There is a grey knight only AB file out there somewhere on the ab40k site

Yes Here

Psychic powers for the Librarian.

I have bought 3 on top of Hammerhead

Quicksilver - one unit within 6" is I10 for that turn - not 100% sure about this

Smite - 12", S4, AP2, Assault 4 (seems rather good to me)

Warp Rift - Template, Assault 1, I test . fail no saves

Any thoughts, Have I missed a good one, have I got too many?

[Meals]

You shouldn't need Quicksilver at all, with a reasonable distribution of Halberds. Not much is higher than I5 tbh.

Personally, I'd only give him Sanctuary, and Shrouding. Both fit much better with the shoot and move style of Grey Knights. Might of Titan could also work well, S6 marines ftw

Smite looks good, but I don't think it works in practice. Only useful if they are within 12" at the start of your turn as you'll be assaulting them so you can use it like once a game if you're lucky. If they are within 18" (6"move + the 12" range of smite) you wanna be dropping back 6" and continuing to shoot them from range.

Hence Shrouding and Sanctuary fit better to stop them assaulting and cover from shooting, but I guess thats just how I'd play Grey Knights, you may differ.

[Tom Hale]

remember to use your force weapon counts as one power. i don't think that smite it worth it (too short range) and a similar arguement could be made for warp rift. I10 is cool though

[fatolaf]

Good points..Powers changed

Really struggling at 1K, cant fit the Raven in at all, v hard to get more than 20 models in the list...
