alright so the idea of the list is to deliver the power of grey knights while keeping them safe from massed fire. Its probably very flawed list that hopes to face restrained vehicle usage from the opponent. By sticking the flying nun and the grand master with the Gks in the land raider i get a fully mech force. I ran out of ideas of what to throw in hen i had 100 points left which is why theres artifier armors and stuff. tell me what you guys think. This was made for a 1850 list.

Why are you taking a Flying Nun if the plan is to put her in a vehicle? Waste of points, at the end of the day. Just make her a regular footslogger. The Plasma Pistol is sub-optimal too, as she is far better off with an Inferno Pistol, for the same cost.

The Grey Knights to not look legal. They come in squads of 10, and I cannot recall there being any way to get Artificer Armour, even for the Justicar (though I do not play them, so I could be wrong). The Battle Sisters are pretty standard, but need Smoke on the Rhinos.

Overall, it is a very weak list. For 1850, you have absolutely nothing on the table. My 1000 point list would probably wipe the table with you. You need more bodies and more ways of, well, doing damage. You have no range in your army at all, and nothing especially threatening. To borrow from the Ork players: less toys, more boys.

There is also the issue of Grey Knights & Sisters cannot be in the same army.

Your thinking of Space Marines. Grey knights are a chapter of the Inquisition and are able to go as Allies.

Actually, you can have Grey Knights and Space Marines in the same army too. If the parent army is Codex: Space Marines (or equivalent) and you take Codex: Damonhunters units, you can take Grey Knights. The restriction applies to Codex: Daemonhunters/Witch Hunters taking allied Space Marines.

Grey Knight units have a max of 10 men.
Artificer armour is a waste of points.
A grandmaster cannot have a targeter as he is a termie
Jump pack + crusader=no

Drop most of the upgrades and the list could be improved.

well after making a brutal fail list i came up with this. It still has the no anti-tank . I never saw the part that said GMs cant have targeters in the deamonhunter codex. I fixed the number in the team , cut the jump pack and removed the artificer armor to stick in the termies. I invite people to give me a list exemple of something that is considered good by using a main GK army with sis allys.

The DH must be your primary army and SoB as allies.
You must have: 1 HQ and 2 troop types. The DH only vet and leaders can choose from wargear lists. The GM can have a targeter. The justicar and GM can have wargear.

I thought of having my cannoness with Jump pack ride in a rhino until she can split off on her own. Instead of hiding behind the vehicle. Jump troops can not ride in a vehicle. Inferno pistol not a plasma pistol for the cannoness. I am new to 40K. I have the 2 codex but I can be wrong. But still think My SoB (pure)army can still take you

Yeah, I still see it as a weak list. The Canoness is pretty standard, but the Grand Master has always seemed too over-priced to me. I am no Grey Knight player though, so take that as you will. I would not put an Incinerator on the Termies, as they should be hanging back shooting. Psycannons are a far better option. The Battle Sisters still need Smoke on their Rhinos (seriously, this is mandatory!). The Grey Knights do not seem like a major threat, and every Grey Knight player says to never take Crusaders, preferring the Godhammer for some anti-tank. Grey Knights are better off hanging back shooting than assaulting anyway. I still think my 1000 point list could give this a good run, and my 1500 would crush it.

You are taking an over-costed army that already struggles, then add a lot of excess cost on top of it. I just cannot see it working.

What's your goal in mixing the GK with the SoB? I don't see either side really gaining much from the mix -- you're really just taking an HQ of each and 4 troops choices which are all essentially durable scoring units.

Sisters would be better served by having a purer Sisters list from which to pull (and have the option of using across all its units) more faith. If you're desperate for CC capability, kit out a retinue for the Canoness, or maybe run a squad of arcoflagellants.

I can't speak much on how you'd better spend the points with a GK-centric list, but I'm sure you could get something more complimentary than a Sisters squad.

The gain would be you have firepower from the SOB and CC with the GK. But for that you need exorcists. Other than that it now seems OK.
