Where are the Psyflemen? Can't have a GW army without any Psyflemen!

But seriously,
For 135 points a piece, you should have at least two in any army that is 1,000+ points. They are way to amazing for their cost to not take.

You've got 70pts of halberds. Trim it down a bit, and give the GKI psybolts.

If you're really thinking about having the GKSS hang back, out of LoS, then consider dropping the Razors and just DSing the troops into position later on. Mordrak has Psychic Communion, allowing much greater control over when your reserves arrive.

If you dropped the Razors AND all the halberds, and didn't do psybolts, you have almost enough for a second DKnight. 20 GKI and two DKs all shunting on T1 would be a pretty scary thing for the enemy.

Can the regular strike squad deep strike. I've read the whole codex i guess i missed something. If thats the case i really would prefer to have another DK to accompany my interceptors. I'll play with it a little and see if i cant squeeze it in.

Oh crap they can DS, i thought that was only interceptors.

Psyflemen (Dreadnought with 2 autocannons) are good, but I'd rather have a DK.

DS the GKSS is a great strategy, I use it all the time. I generally take 10, with a pair of psycannons, then combat squad them, deploy the shooty half with the psycannons on the table (so they don't have to move) then DS the balance of the squad (normally with a couple of hammers).

well i played with the list to come up with a way to get two DK's on the table and have them either deep strike or shunt with my interceptors.

4 Paladin

Start with just the Brother Captain and the Palies on the table. Stay alive turn one, use his psyker power to help bring in stuff on turn two. Try to drop the dreadknights and interceptors straight into CC right away. Hold out on the strike sqaud unit late game and drop them near objectives to take or contest for the win. If need be drop both Dreadknights on something scary (like a hive tyrant or a unit of centurions or something idk) and pop it early. Hopefully they will focus on trying to bring down my knights and let my palis and lord run up and get into the melee for the most part unnoticed. I still like the last list pretty good. But i think this one works well too. Didnt realize before that deepstrike worked for the strike squad as well! And it comes out to 1750 even

I think the list is good.

Re the tactics, I haven't got my rulebook, but I don't think you can start with only the Pallies and Brother Captain on the table. I thought that half the force needed to be deployed?

Generally, I prefer to start interceptors and DK on the board. That way I get a T1 shunt and a T2 assault. However, ymmv!

Actually that makes more sense. Then DS the pali's and HQ into CC where help is needed. and then use the HQ's psker help to get my GKSS in when they are needed on the objectives late game. Smart call. This i why i keep you guys around lol.
