Seems to me, If you think GK are broken, you dont want to be honest with yourself because you haven't adapted to the sneaky grey mother fethers.

Fixed that for you...




So you play Grey Knights then?

I don't care either way, I play maybe 12 games a year with a couple mates, dont enter tourneys, and havent played against GK!

But I have integrity and I can fething read. And Im merely sticking my oar in and opening my mouth because when a man is right, a man is right. Credit where its due and all that. Shuma opened his mouth early on and it appears he was right on the money.

I don't play that often, but I bought and read the codex, and sat and read this thread, and read tourney reviews when Im relaxing, and browse through army lists and so forth, and it is patently obvious to a layman or someone without a dog in said hunt who can be honest about things, and say that at the very very least GK are overpowered. Maybe not the most for a decade, but overpowered.

Take a Nids list against a top tier GK list and its almost impossible to win! Isn't that the very definition of overpowered? Regardless of your tactical decisions you lose anyway?! Insta gibbing your high-value multi wound models?

You just seem to be taking it personally because you think your hot gak because you can win a table top wargame with an overpowered codex, and most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.

Newsflash. Even if you are awesome at 40k (which I doubt, because your record is only good with GK) your not really a hot shot anyway. Your just a bloke who plays 40k. Its hardly up there with winning the 100 meter sprint at the olympics is it?


Classic internet syndrome.

You read things on the internet, have, admittedly, no real world experience with the topic, and yet you're talking down to the guy who plays the game and puts his record up for everyone to see. Classy.

OT Necrons are better than GKs. I have come to this conclusion slowly, since there aren't many Necron players (because they are a xenos faction not because "they aren't zomg OP like GK lulz") in my area. But they pack some serious, serious, competitive elements. I used to think the whole codex was over costed but I am beginning to realize that initial assessment is wrong.


There are four necron players in my area and I've rolled them up like blankets more than once. Local anecdotal experience should only be one thing that adds to many in defining an opinion on this issue.

Ture, But atleast he plays vs. them before he makes up his mind. Unlike so many other on here, take the post he qouted.

Peter: As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Bob: Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I've got to do something.
Man #1: Bob, there's nothing you can do.
Bob: Well, I guess I'll just have to develop a sense of humor.
