Taking a look at making a grey knights list for an upcoming league.
Requirements:
1 HQ
2 Troops
Optional:
1 Elite, Fast Attack, Heavy Support.

If I want to take any more of the latter 3, I need to bring another CAD. Also no vehicles with combined armour value of 33 or higher. List will need to be able to cope with any mission in the main rulebook.

HQ

Librarian - 140pts
- stormbolter
- stave
- ML 3
- rolling on sanctic

Elites

Purifier Squad (5) - 135pts
- 3 stormbolters + swords
- 2 incinerators

Troops

Terminator Squad (10) - 390pts
- 6 stormbolter + swords
- 2 stormbolter + hammers
- 2 psycannons + swords

(combat squadded, psycannons together, 1 hammer in each)

Strike Squad (5) - 110pts
- 5 stormbolters + swords

Heavy Support

Nemesis Dreadknight - 225pts
- Personal teleporter
- Heavy psycannon
- Heavy incinerator
- nemesis great sword

Total: 1000pts

This is actually going to be my first proper game of 40k so am expecting to lose many games through lack of experience alone. Are there any suggestions you guys have to make the list better? Also, any tactical advise would be much appreciated!

Many thanks.

Should be fine at 1k pts, good luck!
Relatively good list, plenty of bodies and opportunity to deal out the hurt.

Is it worth dropping the librarian to ML2 and using the points to upgrade some of the power swords throughout the list?

I'd say you would be fine I cant imagine seeing too much 2+ armour and there wont be any heavy vehicles most monstrous creatures have a 3+ armour anyway and as long as hammerhand goes off you should be fine

Couple things might be worth consider... firstly, the Dreadknight doesn't require both weapon upgrades - the Psycannon or Incinerator alone is typically good enough... which saves you some hefty points.
Secondly, you've got no transport for Purifiers or Strike Squad that I saw...(?) so they're unlikely to get there and earn their keep... especially the Purifiers with 2 incinerators.
You're better off dropping both, using the Nemesis Strikeforce so you only require 1 Troop choice and then take the best unit in your army... Interceptors!
10 Interceptors with 2 Incinerators will do a much better job - they can actually GET there with the flamers, they can support the Dreadknight and give you speed for objective grabbing and if you really want to get yourself some psyker points, combat squad them... then you're only 1 less than before, but same number of models.

(Edit: Just seen your league requires 2 troops) - As you're Combat Squading terminators already, just make them 2x 5 man squads for your 2 troops
(Edit: Tweaking like this actually saves you points) - Giving you some spare to kick around... maybe Libre Demonica for librarian, or Soul Glaive? Hammer into Interceptors?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Comparative example as well... for 1000pt list of same limitations for my Blood Angels:

HQ
Sanguinary Priest

ELITE
5 Sternguard in Razorback with Las/plas Turret

TROOP
5 Tactical Marines with Meltagun in Razorback with Las/plas Turret
5 Tactical Marines with Meltagun in Razorback with Las/plas Turret
5 Tactical Marines with Meltagun in Razorback with Las/plas Turret

FAST
4 Bikes with 2 Gravguns

HEAVY
1 Whirlwind with Overcharged Engines

60pts spare... probably for either a Scout Sniper squad or toss 4 Power Weapons around or 5 Combiplas on Sternguard, or find 5pts and take myself a Librarian too

In Theoryhammer the Dreadknight is a bit of an issue, but once he's gone your current list might struggle to compete... Speed from Interceptors would make this a closer game for you.
