I heard there is a way to get IG in the GK codex.

Is this true

Sorry to the mods but I dont have time to go through the threads and I need to appease my mind.

There are henchmen that can have various wargear. No Ig squads like in the codex IG though. You can give warrior henchmen anything from carapace armor, to hotshot lasguns, to bolters, to special weapons. BS3.

Sleek new Gundam models, new usable Xeno allies, you must be wrong: This IS the new Tau Codex!

Thanks!

Ah Jesus... CONTEXT ph34r! Context! It was fairly obvious that Amaya was talking about Psycannons when he said 'if you can't get within 24"'. Must you be so insulting with everyone?

CONTEXT HBMC! I said using melta or assault against raiders is impossible. He somehow took that to mean that using psycannons on raiders is impossible.

Really, I love the back and forth, but at least read the posts...
And I don't insult aimlessly, I simply heap sarcasm on others' stupid arguments.

Well, you gotta make up for lack of cleverness somehow...

This coming from the guy that counters "assault and melta are bad against raiders" with "if you can't get within psycannon range you are bad".

There is no glory in pointless defeat!

Am I the only person who likes all the GK models???

SAFH Grey Knights

That army is a far cry from 'SAFH'. It's an awful list. Venerable Dreads with TLAC and psybolts cost 200 points a pop. The opponents are getting nearly 3 Hydras for that price. Additionally did you forget the gun is not AP3 like missile spam, but AP4? I compare your list to IG because you want to play them like IG but do it worse than them. After the psycannon was nerfed to 24" range those footslogging 5man squads seem a lot less scary.

I see potential.

There's potential in henchmen not Grey Knights. Now since they nerfed the Dreadknight to oblivion and saved me couple hundred euros, the heavy support choice is the el cheapo Rifleman with psybolts. The rest of the army is all henchmen however. 3 man squads with flamers and 3 man squads with meltas, all in Razorbacks. You can get about 20 of those units+vehicles. Equip them with random wargear to say your army isn't all identical. Some Razors could be las/plas, some TL asscan with psybolts, some TL HB with psybolts. Call it SAFH henchmen or Codex: Razorbacks but definately not Grey Knights.

I'm sure someone will eventually figure out some decent way to play actual GK but it has to be all out assault then with deep strikes and personal teleporters, just like Daemons. It will get slaughtered by mech every time though, just like Daemons.

A interessting fact about GK's For Khorne Deamons Players.

They are all equiped with Force Weapons?..., the Blood God Blessing give you a 2++ save against force weapons.

So apart from those pesky Deamon Killer Hammers your Greater Deamons,Herald,Princes and SkullTaker are pretty save against those Nemesis weapons ^^.

There is some good sides to have every GK have FW...

Also the Heroic Sacrifice psy power from the Brotherhood Champ, at first i was a bit worried that my regular GK opponents would use that to get rid of mu Kharn,...but because its a psy power, Kharn is totaly immune to it!

Love & Hate that the GK's are all Psy powers, love it because of my Blessing(even if it is only Kharn though..) and hate it because...,well because they are Psy powers?...,what else do you want?

Doesn't matter if you have a 2++. With Servo Skulls and warp quake, your army won't even make it onto the table.

I like them all... Im just never going to use them for GK figures or even play against them.

I picture them all as either conversions or display pieces...

Ie. Dreadknight will become something Tau or Orky; while the PAGK and TAGK will become Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons with a bit of filing and shoulder pad replacements.

Less of the swearing and shouting, everyone.

This thread is no longer news, so I'll close it.
