My friend recently was reading through my daemonhunters codex and decided that he should make me a new army list as my current list always get beat. He is a good player and has almost every army in 40k and never seems to lose. I'm not sure how experienced he is with DH so I thought I would post his list and see what you thought before I decided if I will use it or not...

Neat list but it'll get raped because daemonhunters always do, unless actually against daemons in which case they almost stand a fair chance...

If anyone else reads this the credit goes to KhorneOnTheCob as he was the 'friend' who wrote this list.

There is absolutely NO point in taking Fast Attack Grey Knights. At 3000 Points 3 LRs is a must as well. Purgation squads are a good idea but fail in execution. I run two LRs in 1850 with inducted guard and SoB.

The assassins - typically not worth it. The single assassin does give nice treats but usually doesn't pay off that much and they are very difficult to use. the Death Cult assassins are basically 2 free kill points for the enemy. Take a calexus assassin. lower everyone's leadership to 7 = great.

Psycannons are incredible. They work out great on the terminators but when you need to move around with the PAGKs they lose their distance which hurts sometimes.

Take more GKTs. The assassins you can drop. For 200 points you can get 3 GKTs with a psycannon.

Take 2 mystics with the inquisitor. take servitors with multimeltas in a rhino. You'll be able to take out tanks which is the hardest thing for DHs.

@rogueeyes ;

Why don't you like teleport attack grey knights? They work great with incinorators esspicially against daemons.

I say drop the icon of the just on your justicars, their expensive enough as they are without upgrades. Maybe get rid of one teleport attack squad and get a land raider crusader. To fit it drop the purigation squad. The do as rogueeyes and drop the assassins to get an extra 3 terminators and spend any remaining points on terminators with a phycannon. Add 2 extra terminators to the GM's retinue and put him in the LRC and I think your good to go.

They're not scoring. Giving up a scoring unit for one that deepstrike IMHO is not worth it. 66% of rule book missions are based upon objectives. If you cannot control those objectives and your opponent does it is game over.
