I play a grey knight army thinkin of dropping my stormies for more knights but anyways it was a 1500 pt game the blood angels guy had mephisto or something like that and 2 squads of ten with jump packs a land speeder tornado i think, one death company squad of ten with a chaplian and 2 ball predators. I had a grandmaster with 4 termies with a psycannon 2 squads of ten knights one with 2 psycannons one with a incinerator, one squad of 9 stormtroopers with melta guns mounted in a chimera and two dreads one with twin linked lascannon and missle launcher one with plasma cannon and missle launcher. Now i did have some other stuff added to the dreads and GM but that was the basic but i didnt even make it pass turn 4 all though the guy did cheat and tell me that he could direct all his attacks to my GM even though in the book it says that a GM is treated as an independent charecter unless he is acopamyed by a retuine of GK termies. So i should have been able to delagte the wounds to the squad not just my GM but anyways i can shoot up a nid and ork army enough before it gets to me and i can stand back and shoot any other army and let my shoruding help with the shooting but a bunch of marines in my face at turn 2 is quite hard to deal with any advice would help on tactics and mt list thanks

Erk. Get yourself some punctuation marks and paragraph breaks, please.

I am not joking, it's almost impossible to read.

I have edited it, so that other people can read it:

any advice would help on tactics and mt list thanks

Should be decipherable now with some less effort.

Those seem to be 1,000 point armies. What other troops were there?

Also a good idea to read your post after writing it, so as to prevent problems like it being impossible to read.

If it's independent character on independent character or just the models engaged with the Grand Master you cannot redirect wounds. Your GM must take them. I think your confused with the retinue concept. It prevents your IC from taking/being singled out from shooting. Read your assault rules concerning independent characters only models in base to base with a IC can throw his attacks/wounds on the IC.

This is probably your first week on "the intarnetz!!!1!1OMFGBBQ!!1Eleventyone!!1! " so I'll give you some advice.

1st lesson of the internet:

If you ask for help and your post is illegible, then you wont be taken seriously and your question and post will be mocked into oblivion.

You dont have to be an english teacher to appreciate legible english.

just a comment, I barely have enough patience to read posts as it is

make sure you figure out the rules for allocated wounds to independant characers in close combat, you have a great army there.

Grey Knights should be able to do just fine vs 20 jump pack marines. They are fearless, they have better attacks, they should be able to get some shots off before they get there and they even have a WS5 S6 power weapon in there. If you can count on them rushing you, you can take advantage of the fearlessness and deploy near your edge to get some more shots off.

Grey Knights can be a challenging army to play, they're 25 points each, and have limited access to heavy weapons w/ no preds or squad weaponry. If you search the forums there are other threads where people go into detail about Grey Knight lists.

My suggestion would be to keep playing with what you've got because it looks both expensive money wise and reasonably functional. And maybe you want to put a twin las on the second dread

. Those Baals can ruin your day if you try and sit back.

Yeah your right after lokking at it a few times it is a pain to read. In my defense i wrote it late at night and didnt really care about how it looked but thats no excuse and a little constructive criticism never hurt anybody.
