true. I have never seen or heard of anyone using servitors.

I seem to remember that full Mechanicus implants interefere with psychic abilities and that is probably why Grey Knights have no tech marines. Its probably that and the fact that Titan isn't too far from Mars, the heart of the Mechanicum. That said they might pick up a tech priest profile like the IG have.
that's what I was thinking. Not a techknight, but a techpriest. They are next door to mars.

It may negate stunned and shaken, but 13-13-11 dreadnoughts, and what could possibley be 15-15-15 land raiders (is that against the rules?) as well as 13-11-11 chimeras, to OP, unless its like a 30 point vehicle upgrade.
The rumor was that the vehicle could cast 'Blessed Hull' on itself and increase one facing by +2 AV, to a maximum of 14.

The GKs are spread out thin across the whole galaxy, thus only a small part is located near mars itself or even near any other forgeworld for that matter.
Most are part of kill teams guarding various hotspots and/or traveling in strike cruisers far from home.
The second issue is survivability.
A mere techpriest or enginseer or tech servitor would probably not last the coarse of one single "typical GK engagement. Those techpriests/enginseera ARE normal humans and would die from wounds or simply go raving mad from the exposure to the demonic that they would undoubtedly be exposed to while tending GK vehicles in the field on battle.
Simply put, having "normal" humans or servitors tending GK vehicles in battle far from home would be to unreliable. Only a GK could be relied on to perform vehicle maintenance during a GK engagement in the middle of the battle.
Thus the question still stands, who takes care of the GK vehicle pool and wargear such as advanced repairs etc when most of the GKs and their allocated vehicle pool spends long time far from home and the coozy mars factories and also does so while still being able to survive the physical and psychological horrors of GK combat?

Did you make this up yourself
To be honest I don't see any trading company resemblances.
kind off this is a product of me and some fellow outriders. we wanted too know from which cultures armies where made.
and the united east trading company was my translation of de verenigde oost inndische company VOC.
and isnt titan the moon of mars?

I am worried about price wise. $$$ Especially if this is going to be an Elite low count army, we will be paying through the roof for the minis. So I am guessing the prices will be metal prices for plastic.
Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Doubt TAGK will cost the same as they currently do, but Its my guess they will cost more than normal termies because they will be bigger.
Btw someone not so long ago said they didnt like the Sanguinary Guard models because their Glaives were to varied. I agree, but that wasnt the point...
The point is, they were done with a lot of fine detail and are very realistic, well sized, and overall nice looking models. The modellers for the new TAGK will be sticking to the GK way and we can probably expect to see no more variation than Halberds and Swords (TH/SS?). My point was the models will not be gakky.
Ya, luckily i'm the only one who plays GK/Inq at my FLGS *Whipes forehead* and since the guys and gals there aren't into switching armies very often... I shouldn't have much to worry about, but the 'Nids race as a whole died inside... Then again, psychic tests do have to be passed on 3d6, but it still only helps so much...

Mattieu~~~~ It's not that eldar are bad, it's that they require a lot of intergration between units. Also, that doesnt prove anything other than GW has a huge hard-on for marines, and, given the option between making a xeno the best psykers or making a marine the best psyker, they will 9 times out of 10 choose the marine.

If it ends up being spot-on, it probably means it'll go something like this:
-Grey Knights make their attacks and wound
-Squad as a whole passes a psychic test (a la Psyker Battle Squads)
-Their wounds cause Instant Death
I misread it. It reads that NFWs will be power weapons instead of 6 str. I'm wondering if that implies ALL of their units with NFW+SB now have power weapons, which is what it sounds like. Ridiculous, to say the least.

I highly doubt that PAGK can gain any way of getting instant death, maybe on a roll of a 6 their sarg can or something, not sure, but it wouldnt be "pass psychic test to make all attacks instant death" would it?
yep. +1.
well, depends. I'd like:
PAGK: +2S.
justicar: +2S power weapon.
TAGK: +2S (master-crafted) power weapon.
paladin: +2S master crafted force weapon/power weapon.
brother-captain: +2S master-crafted force weapon.
grand master: +2S full-blown master-crafted ID'ing force weapon.

In the GK one- 1:00- "but even the most faithful inquisitors need to call for aid whe the treat is too dire"
"THE TREATS ARE TOO DIRE! WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS!" sounds like young sherlock all over again...
what DoW game is that?
