What can I do, at 1500 pts, with these models:

28 GK total

4 Justicars
4 Psycannons

Rhino

Land Raider

Dread x2

Inquisitor
enough henchmen for full retinue of anything


I thought about making the Inquisitor and his retinue shooty, to be supported and support the LR. Making both Dreads shooty with lascannons and missile launchers, and having two squads of 5 GK, two Psycannons in each. Put 5 more GK in the Rhino, which will rush forward, pop smoke, and hope for the best. If the Rhino is killed, squad of 5 hides behind until teleporting squad of 5 Knights can home on the Justicar. If the Rhino lives, go as far forward as I can again.

As for the shooty knights and inquisitors: make them a screen in front of the 2 dreads and the LR so they are obscured targets.

Gk can't have rhinos.

The inq retinue can, so if you want a terrain piece go ahead but it's a bit pricey.

The rest of your idea is fine, except for the rushing forward with GK thing.

GK are very much a sit back and wait and see army. They play well to hiding and sniping, not so much with the rushing forward.

All it says is that the Rhino can't carry models in Terminator armour. it doesn't say anything about power armour. and why would it mention this:
" a Rhino or Chimera using its top hatch as a fire point wil lcount as open-topped of the saving throw of any of its passengers is worse than 3+" if it couldn't carry Knights?
( who have a 3+ save)

Inquisitors can bring along power armored friends (and be in power armor themselves, or terminator armor).

That's all it refers to. The demonhunters book is pretty jacked up, it's hard to understand what happened to it when you make a army without knowing an entire page was left out of the thing.

Anyway GK troops only get a 'transport' by teleporting in, and then they become fast attack. The only on-board transport they can get in is the heavy support land raider.

How was an entire page left out?

Printer error according to GW.
GW mistake according to printer.

Kinda like there are lots of mistakes in the Ork book...pointed out before printing but went through anyway? lol
