Second shot at Grey Knights list (2000+ points)




As you know if you follow this blog I'm still very much in the development phase at this point and I have been working with the concept of an infantry based army. I feel that Draigos is the best choice for a competitive (pure) GK list - sure the generic Grand Master has some nice options such as orbital strike and rad grenades but I think that Eternal Warrior is too good to pass up on seeing that there's lots of stuff that can insta gib the generic Grand Master. The Tech Marine is really good seeing he is classed as an independent character but I'm not planning to run lots of mech.

So here is the list I'm currently work with for now:

HQ
Lord Kaldor Draigos
Librarian: Warding Stave, Might of Titans, Warp Rift, Quick Silver, Sanctuary, Summoning & Dark Excommunication

3x Paladin (counts a troop choice): 1x Nemesis Falchions, Nemesis Daemon Hammer, Nemesis Warding Stave, 3x Master Crafted & psybolt ammo

Draigos, Librarian and Paladins form up to create the hub of the army.

Elite
6x Purifier: 4x Nemesis Force Halberd, 2x psycannon & psybolt ammo
+ razorback: warp stabilization field, psybolt ammo & dozer blades

Vindicare Assassin

Heavy Support
Nemesis Dreadknight: personal teleporter, gatling psilencer & Nemesis Great Sword

Troops
10x Grey Knight (Strike Squad): 4x Nemesis Force Falchions, Nemesis Daemon Hammer, 2x psycannon & psybolt ammo
+ rhino: dozer blades & warp stabilization field

10x Grey Knight (Strike Squad): 4x Nemesis Force Falchions, Nemesis Daemon Hammer, 2x psycannon & psybolt ammo
+ rhino: dozer blades & warp stabilization field

So that's it. At first I was planning to run two squads of Purifiers then just recently decided to drop one squad in exchange for the Nemesis Dreadknight instead... A bit less shooting overall but the Dreadknight is a good instant threat. I'd love to fit in a squad of Grey Knight terminators but they just seem quite expensive for what you get plus those points could go towards more Paladins as well.

If I were to drop one Strike Squad then I could buff up the Paladins something like this:

6x Paladin (all with master crafted force weapons & psybolt ammo):
1st Paladin - pair of Nemesis falchions, stormbolter
2nd Paladin - pair of Nemesis falchions, stormbolter
3rd Paladin - pair of Nemesis falchions, stormbolter
4th Paladin - pair of Nemesis falchions, stormbolter
5th Paladin - Apothecary w. Nemesis Warding Stave
6th Paladin - Nemesis Daemon Hammer & psycannon

Let me know if I made any mistakes. : )
