Working on new Grey Knight list.

Am bored with my current Grey Knight list which I have posted on previous posts. Took a 17 model list to an 1850 pt tournament last weekend. It hit really hard but just ran into two Nid armies and a DE army just did not have the numbers to deal with it. Had about a 7 to 1 kill ratio in the games but just was not enough units to rfeact to everything.

Play this list against a friend the other night

Librarian - Warding Stave, Might of Titan, Quciksilver, Sanctuary, Shrouding, Summoning, Warp Rift
Xenos Inquisitor - Rad and Psykotroke grenades, Psyker, Force Weapon, Power Armour, Hammerhand

Techpriest - Warding stave, Rad and Psykotroke Grenades
Henchman - 11 Death Cult assasins, 1 Mystic, Razorback, Twin-linked Las, Searchlight

10 man Terminator squad - Banner Psycannon, 2 Hammers, 3 Swords, 4 Halberds, Psybolt
6 man Strike squad - Psycannon, 4 swords, Razorback, Twin-linked Las, Searchlight

Land Raider Crusader, Multi-melta, searchlight
2x Dreadnought -Psybolt double Autocannon.

Did not play nearly as well as I would have liked. In both games I played could not kill his Stormravens. And he got to pick his charges which against another Grey Knight player usually proves to decide the game.


Last night tried a list that played well but was against a Nid army so need to try it against some other lists.

here it is

Grand Master -  MC Warding stave, Rad and Psykotroke grenades, Incinerator
Librarian - Warding Staves, Might of  Titan, Quicksilver, Sanctuary, Shrouding, Warp Rift, 2 Servo Skulls

6 Paladins- Apothecary, Banner Psycannon, Hammer, MC Sword, Force Halberd, Sword

8 Terminators - Banner Psycannon, 2 Hammers, 3 Halberds, 2 Swords
2x 5 Man Strike squad - Psycannon, 4 swords, Razorback, twin-linked las, searchlight

Dreadnought - double autocannon, Psybolt ammo, Searchlight
Dreadnought - Assault Cannon, Doomfist, Heavy Flamer, Psyflame ammo, Psybolt Ammo.

I outflanked the Combat Dread and the Termies and deep struck the Paladins with both Characters. Worked very well but need some more testing before am really sure about it.

  1. Here are some changes I'd recommend if you can find a way to work into the list:

    Paladins should have two psycannons.

    Here is how I run my squad of GKT:

    Justicar - halberd
    2x daemonhammer
    2x halberd & psycannon
    5x halberd
    —psybolt ammo

    I'm not sure where you will get the points for the extra termies but this allows you to combat squad if necessary when you need more troops and then you don't have to use the Grand Strategy to make the Paladins score.

    More psycannons is always a good thing.

  2. I need to get more Psycannons only have the two. And would have to drop a strike squad or a Dreadnought to get more Terninators.

  3. At the very least I would drop one of the paladins and anought ot put in two more terminators. Or drop the apothecary altogether to put in two more termies and another psycannon. Seems like there are a lot of bells and whistles you could drop to get those changes in there....

  5. Ended up Dropping search lights on all 3 vehicles and MC off Grand Master and the one Paladin with the two points I was already under gave me 15 points. I added Summoning to Librarian and Warp Stabilization to Razorback and Combat Dread.
