I hold the view GK's can only score draws against daemons. I've killed several dozen of your knights with my Daemons and you've caused... Caused mild inconvenience to my army. Well done.


Also I only really see GK's go after xeno psykers, since psykers mean chaos isn't too far away.

Only a handful of beings would be capable of wiping a daemon completely out of existence, for which they can always be replaced as quickly by their respective gods. So the point on actual casualties in that sense is moot to most armies in this game. May as well say daemons always win. The problem with this argument is defining whether we're talking of a physical victory between two armies or a moral victory between two races. The answer will be very different.

As for the topic itself, even as a long-term GK player I have to say [similar to daedalus-templarius] that the idea of Grey Knights being undefeated in a single battle is pretty ludicrous. Nevertheless they have an impeccable success rate, even amongst other chapters. They have also shown great skill at dispatching none daemonic foes having put down various chapters before who have been claimed traitorous. However their reason to get caught upon in these conflicts is because these chapters are in some way at least considered to be linked to daemonic corruption. Because the influence of chaos is far-reaching the GKs will always need to be prepared to take on an assortment of different enemies...
