There's 1500 point tournament in a week. Someone bought my Imperial Fists, so it looks like I'm bringing Demon Hunters. This is pretty much all the DH models I have. I have 1 Hellfire Dreadnought, 2 Terminators, 3 GK and an Incinerator GK left over. Should I cut down on my Inquisitor Retinue to put HBs on my Chimeras?
Here's my list:
HQ
Brother-Captain, Psycannon
Inq Lord, Psycannon, Psychic Hood, Emperor's Tarot, Artificer Armor
Retinue, 3 Acolytes w/ bolters, 3 HB servitors, 2 Mystics, 1 sage
Troops
6 Inq Storm Troopers, 2 Meltas, Chimera W/ SL and Multi-Laser
6 Inq Storm Troopers, 2 Plasmas, Chimera W/ SL and Multi-Laser
5 GK, 2 Psycannons
5 GK, 2 Psycannons
Elites
Eversor
3 Terminators, Incinerator
FA
5 GK, 2 Ininerators

Without the book in front of me, the only thing I can comment on is changing the FA GK squad to an actual troops squad for scoring purposes (assuming you are using 5th rules).
Also, not to jack the thread, but I am unfamiliar with what a Hellfire Dreadnought is?
Thanks,
Flaim

I'd lose the FA GK's and the Eversor and put in the dread, use whatever points you have left to bulk up your GK squads.

Have you thought about the Axis of Evil pension scheme? |

Personally I don't like psycannons on regular grey knights much. With the ability to use those Chimera's to transport your GK's in 5th edition you might want to just keep the storm bolter and nemesis weapon.
Keep in mind that for 25 points you get an entire grey knight. So thats 4 str 4 ap 5 shots instead of the 3 str 6 ap 4 shots. Considering that you will probably be moving your gk's every turn they also have an extra 6". Put them in the chimera and you have a strong forward assault force.
I would also not waste points on the Emperor's Tarot. It doesn't work in any 5th edition mission. While we don't have an official FAQ for it specifically, the sisters of battle Liber Heresius FAQ is pretty clear and I expect the Tarot to work the same way.
I would consider dropping the 5 man FA squad in favor of moving them into your troops selection. After all, a Chimera can move 10 PAGK's up the field pretty nicely. You can put 10 GK's AND your Brother Captain in the Chimera and the BC can still fire out the top!

You sold your imperial fists!?
I concur that you need the dreadnaught. As it stands, your list has no long-range high strength firepower.

I still think psycannons sitting on my back line is an effective way to use GK, but you made some great points. Im going to drop my inquisitor lord and retinue and just add a inq with psycannon. I'll give my brother captain the Psychic-Hood. I'll make the FA squad an 8 man troop squad with two incinerators. I'll use the chimeras to tranpsort around the terms and gk.
Will teleport homers work out of the chimeras?
