Apparently the Imperium is ill-equipped for a siege. Therefore I have proposed the development of siege guns, siege tanks, siege rockets, siege armor, siege planes, siege ships, siege wagons, siege bikes, siege boots, siege dogs, siege cats(for the siege rodents), siege eating utensils, siege horses, siege rations, and siege babies. Oh, and siege-spouses, especially of the female variant.

I mean if we're going fluff extremest here, I won't play against grey knights unless they have a 0-1 limit on psycannons. They're only a few score in the whole galaxy.
I won't play against an eldar army with Eldrad, hesdead, or a gk army with driago, hes in the warp. .
I will not fight my IG against any GK, or SM, for my army is a loyal army.
I will not play against another IG army, unless their Regiment is comprised solely of Infantry, Armor, or Artillery. Or if they are a Multiple Regimental Battle Force with all the regiments painted different.
You see how silly it get? Just play the game. The Wh40k galaxy is a big place. There's bound to be a csm faction that looks similer to the GK, or even corrupted GK.

I would play the against the army, but would have to get off a few obligatory eye rolls and witty comments when the person was setting up. Which is likely the reaction you will recieve most, but they are your models and you can do whatever you want with em.

Fabius Bile, after witnessing the Grey Knights in action, decides that they are rather amusing. And commences creation of another strand of "enhanced chaos space marines" more capable in psychic might.
In Chaos' eternal mockery of the Imperium, Bile's "Black Knights" wear armor reminiscent of the Elite Chapter of Marines they were inspired from.
there are plenty of ways to get chaos grey knights .
Also they would just be a corrupted GK army which uses the GK rules. Same way people make traitor guard armies using the IG codex.
I like this idea for the background of your army. That way fanboys can say they aren't "true" grey knights so it doesn't count as any of them actually being corrupted and keeps with the fluff.

The army would look cool no doubt about that. The fluff would be terrible without any doubt on that either. If you don't care then fine, make it up but if you post it on the internet and ask for C&C then you'll be in for a short sharp shower of badly smelling brown stuff. If it's the look of the army you like but not the fluff then run it as a counts as...

You could just say they're Slaanesh marines that have been blessed by it.
Arguing with some people is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play the best chess in the world, but at the end of the day the pigeon will still knock all the pieces off the board and then gak all over it.

This is a C-A-N-N-O-N
Whilst C-A-N-O-N (notice this word only has a single 'n') is what you mean. Besides, there's no such thing as 'canon' with GW. But yes, make whatever army you want, it still wouldn't fit the fluff.

But that's supported by Deathwatch fluff (black shields or something) and doesn't one of the horus heresy novels implied that a Death Guard detach was turned into the grey knights?

A bunch of Space Marines, loyalists from the Traitor Legions and other, are speculated to be the original 8 founders of the Grey Knights.

@iproxtaco, Yes Draigo can leave the warp, when the veil is thin enough, like agianst a demonic incursion. So I will add that he can fight against deamons. Anything else, nope he can't be in the army fluffwise.

I'm not, it was in response to the guy who said he refuses to play corrupted grey knights. I could care less, its your army, you make the fluff. I mean you paid for it, do what you want.

Well of course, he can paint them pick and replace each Grey Knight's weapon with giant phalluses for all I care. He asked for opinions from a fluff perspective, the general consensus is "it's a bad idea and you should feel bad for thinking it".

From a fluff perspective, Chaos Daemons as an army shouldn't even exist.

Malal is the God that wants to kill other Chaos Gods. He focuses on the guys that fight for justice and all that and turns them into his champions. He gives them epic powers and uses them to harm the other Chaos Gods as much as he can. That would sorta explain how is Draigo able to go through the Warp burning gardens and tatooing Primarchs. He's a Champion of Malal! Now, a whole bunch of Grey Knights working for Malal would make a lot of sense, wouldn't it?

Well no, because Malal, if were to exist, is still a Chaos God as much as Khorne or Nurgle are. Malal is basically the Chaos God of chaos, just as Khorne is embodiment of anger and blood-lust, Malal is the embodiment of Chaos's own destructive nature.

I'd like to see your math, because with that, excluding wargear, you'd be at 397 points, and can squeeze maybe 100-150 in wargear if you try (and end up with badly kitted units)
Also wondering how you made hellions, unless you made their boards from something else.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Just taken from the Librarian page. I'd find you more, but I don't want to spend my night finding each quote.
"To show the slightest wavering, the most momentary of weaknesses, is to offer oneself up to those otherworldly predators and to eternal damnation beyond."
"Such mysteries can never be allowed to escape the confines of the Sanctum Sanctorum, for the fear is ever that even some amongst the Grey Knights would not prove immune to their temptations."
The list is below.
FYI everything has magnets in my army also. so I can put any CCW and ranged on any model if i need to.
Spoiler:
Well you get 10 warriors and wyches....3 reavers....and 1 raider....to start
1blaster,dark lance splinter cannon and shredder for warriors
1 pair of hyrda gunalets and razorflails 2 power weapons and 2 agonisers and a shardnet and implaer.
From the crew of the raider I modded 3 hellions using the spar bits from the raider I also constructed myself a archon.
My list at the time of starting DE was:
Archon: Huskblade(modded powerweapon1) ghostplate,combat drugs,soul-trap and clone field,=145pts
Kalabite warroirs: blaster and splinter cannon=115pts
wyches: hekatrix with agoniser1, X2 hyrdas/razorflails=170pts
inside a raider with flickerfield and nightsheilds=80pts
this comes to 701 pts...like i said about 700 pts can be pulled out of the battle force. I can send you pictures of my hellions if you wanna see but atm I dont have any and camara is playing hide and seek with me .
Buy another battleforce and you got 1402 and some more ponits to play with..Id give all the wyches haywires...outta 10 haywires one has got to roll a 5-6 to wreck or explode. that will bring to 1442 pts. get rid of 2 wyches which frees up 30 pts. take two portals on each archon. Also upgrade the reavers with agnosiers. which with 2 archon,6 hellions,6reavers,20warriors,18wyches, 2 raider you and bring the fight to them with portals. makes this a in your face kinda list. which if you do that it really becomes 1412. with pts to play with. I bought a beast masterwith agoniser a clawed fiend and a razorwing flock to fill in the gaps. or you can take a venom for the same amount putting you around 1499 with the beast master combo. or take the venom for 1492 for a venom for both archons and take back the two wyches W/. haywire bombs. for 1492
