Exactly what part of the leaked codex tells you that you can have infinite henchman? I'm reading a part right now that says you can only have 3-12 for each inquisitor in the army...or are you just referring to the fact that Coteaz makes them troops? And that makes them cheese? Which henchman would you take that would be cheese? As far as I can tell, Gun Servitors, the best henchman in the current dex imo, were removed, so...not really looking so good there...

Coteaz makes them troops but doesn't necessarily lift the restriction on not taking FoC slots.

As for cheese, being able to take 12 plasma guns for 140pts, or 5 in a chimera for 125pts is probably one of the reasons why, or a 10 Fast Las/Plas Razorbacks with token 3man scoring units for just over 900pts.

In the current dex, you can take 2 gun servitors, one with Multimelta and one with a Plasma Cannon, following an Inquisitor, all in a Rhino, for under 140 pts...you can do this 4 times, one for each inquisitor in your army. How is that not worse?

because that's 8 heavy weapons and 4 storm bolters on AV11 transports for roughly what ~550 or so points and they can't score? Not 20 plasmaguns and 8 heavy weapons in AV12 transports for fewer points than *can* hold objectives?

Actually, you could put them in Chimera's if you really wanted to...And you actually have to leave the safety of your tank to shoot all those guns, or you're wasting points. Which is a bad idea most of the time.

In the upcoming list you don't have to leave the chimeras to shoot all those guns, chimeras have 5 firing points. 4 chimeras with 5 PG's each is 500pts. The chimeras in the current DH book are much less capable in that regard, cost a lot more, and count as open topped if anything shoots out.

Codex: Grey Knights wanted a coalition government

Codex: Grey Knights will drop shot you then t-bag your digital army-man corpse

codex: Grey Knights power level is OVER NINE THOOUUSAAAAAND!!!!!

So in reality, Grey Knights aren't what make Codex: Grey Knights cheese...it's Coteaz himself. So why aren't people just making Coteaz jokes? Bashing on Coteaz? He seems to be the real problem here...the actual Grey Knights themselves don't seem that cheese to me...

Well, then there's also the Purifiers. The guys that go from 20 to 24pts but get an extra attack and automatically wound all engaged enemy models on a 4+ before any blows are struck but after movement into combat (i.e. annihilating orks simply by the state of being in combat with them) along with being able to take 2 Heavy Weapons per 5 models, and the undercosted Dreadknight. The Paladins also may be somewhat cheesy, but perhaps not if the Warding Stave doesn't apply outside of CC.

That's still not nearly as bad as Space Wolves. Admit it.

We'll see, but those Purifiers and the Dreadknight may tip that

What the hell is a Dreadknight supposed to be anyways? At first I thought it might be a Dreadnought variant, but reading over it more, it seems to be like a super terminator...which would make me very sad, seeing one man terminator squads that take up heavy support slots...so what IS this thing?

Basically, it's a Trygon that gets +1WS/S and T for 2 less Attacks (3 less in profile but has 2 CCW's) and Wounds with a 2+/4+ and 2 higher LD and BS, with a strength increasing psychic power, a blast weapon psychic power, psychic defense, and costs 2 Rhino's less, with the ability to take two independent very powerful ranged weapons.

Yeah, but I mean, model-wise, what is going to represent it? What do they look like?

as far as I can tell they sorta look like those things from the Matrix movies or Aliens, the big walker things, but better armored and more "knightly" with big swords.

I actually played against a Coteaz henchman list a while ago (he was using the leaked 'dex) and to be honest it wasn't that bad a fight. but he did use a lot of points on two stormravens and a lot of assassins, and most of his firing was wasted on taking out my Wierdboy and Warbikers, so *shurg*

Still, you have to admit...full inquisition army is badass...

Codex Grey Knights is PWNED by Mat Ward's next work: Codex Necrons

So here the truth about Codex Necrons:
It includes a special playable character that kicked Draigo's ass
The Dreadknight is actually a Necron construct, the more powerful Necroknights with necrofists and necroguns are a standard unit and cost 30 points each.
Necrons invaded Terra and made it a Tomb World.
One page is dedicated to the Necron's private life as loving parents.
Necron's killed all Old Ones and 5 Primarchs and 200 Eldar Avatars.
The C'Tan travelled back in time and made Sarah Palin US President and gave Uwe Boll the Lifetime Achievement Oscar.

Nobody puts Codex: Grey Knights in a corner!

I hate them their are overpowered plus lame losers but they may prevent annoying sisters.

What's wrong with sisters? They're badass too. Celestine is pro.

The Codex: Grey Knights release date was pushed back one day.

So now that it's been released, does anyone here have a copy? Can you tell us how bad it really is? Is the leaked Dex accurate or complete bs?

Nvm. Saw it on the main site and thought it was released already. >.<

Codex: Grey Knights considers Roboute Guilliman to be its spiritual liege, but knows that it will never be as good as Codex: Ultramarines.

Codex: Grey Knights flooded the internet with Dreadknight hate.
I am now currently swimming in a pool of silvery hate.

Codex grey Knights will have a unit that guards Titan called Grey Wardens.

Codex Grey Knights fields a special character named Inquisitor Mary Sue.

The Dreadknight must make a morale check every round. If the test fails, the Dreadknight stays immobile: The Terminator has to be fed

The codpiece of the Dreadknight Terminator has the following inscription: Titan (no joke !)

Haha, the Dreadknight is packing down there on top of everything else. Just one more reason for people to bash on him.

I honestly wish they hadn't made a model for Draigo, so that at least I wouldn't have to see him EVERY time I play vs the new GK...but so much for THAT...

Also, add truck nuts to your Dreadknight. I can't think of a better way to make an opponent shoot at it every turn, just so he won't have to look at it anymore...
