Looking for some insight here, and hoping I just missed something in the dex.
After a quick reread today of Stern's entry, I noticed something I never had before...to my eye, it looks like (rule wise) Stern is *not* a Grey Knight? Can anyone confirm for me if I've missed something or not please?

I'd have to agree with you, as Stern isn't a "Grey Knight squad, Grey Knight teleport assault squad, Grey Knight Purgation squad, Grey Knight Terminator, a Grey Knight Hero, Justicar or Brother-Captain". He's "Brother-Captain Stern" after all.
That being said, anyone with half a brain can see that he's SUPPOSED to be a Grey Knight, but RAW, I'd say no.

My first thought was similar too - I mean, who in their right mind would argue me throwing Stern down like the GK he clearly is?
Then I got to thinking about "Grey Knight Land Raiders" and what not. Clearly, these aren't getting the GK rules, but the argument is pretty similar (OMG GK in the name, Shrouded LR into your face!) to the one I would have to use for Stern.
I doubt this will ever, ever come up, but it's an intellectual curiosity (or just another mark against GW's ability to proofread)

Throughout this codex, the term 'Grey Knights' refers to the following units:...

Brother-Captain Stern.
Good enough for me.

Yes, you are correct. RaW he is not a Grey Knight. Automatically Appended Next Post: insaniak wrote:Codex: Daemon Hunters, page 20 wrote:'Grey Knights' Terminology

Ah, but a "Brother-Captain" is not the same as a "Brother-Captain Stern", the same way "Death Company Tycho" is not a "Death Company" model.

I didn't say it was RAW. I said it was good enough for me.

Fair enough, fair enough.
This also means RaW he can't ride in a GK Land Raider either.

Page 59 of my DH codex has the headline "Brother-Captain Stern of the Grey Knights". He's also allowed to have a retinue of GK Terminators. I suspect they just forgot to write in the GK line in Stern's entry.
