-You make comment about using the shrouding to prevent shooting, yet all your units are mounted. Does shrouding apply to GK vehicles since they have GK crew? I guess its still a GK unit, but I've never played it that way over the last few years of playing GK.
Shrouding DOES NOT apply to Grey Knight Vehicles...this includes Dreadnoughts.
Normally, I take advantage of shrouding with Psycannon armed Terminators...firing at max ranges after
PAGK units measure range for me with targetters.
PAGK's also use their targeters and shrouding with limited effect due to their 24" ranges on stormbolters. (24" is a bit too close to take advantage of shrouding...but sometimes it works out)
I typically keep firing with land raiders in the meantime and when the enemy gets close enough to decimate my small squads of
GK's...they then mount the
LR's for protection until they're able to consolidate onto a single enemy unit.
In effect, my land raiders are simple armoured and armed bunkers for my troops to hide in until the time is right......
(however, when at extreme ranges, the amount of things that can take out your landraider are significantly lowered. This is part of the reason that I personally prefer basic raiders over the crusader. Crusaders need to be much closer to be effective,
LR's are effective all the way out at 4' away from the enemy...and not many things can reliably take them out at that range.)
