As far as we know, it will be released in mid january. There will probably be artificer armor all around (every model gets a 2+ save). Stormravens are also a probability. It will probably focus on Grey Knights with minimal Inquisition.

GW has been pretty tight with the rumours. Dunno why, you'd think that after the success of Blood Angels when it was revealed earlier they'd have wanted to build up hype for this army too.

i see lots of sad faces.... that cant be a good sign...

huh that makes sense, do you know what will be in plastic, or what new units will be in save the stormraven. it seems that each codex they make a bunch of new units, i expect the same with GK

The sad faces are because there is a question being asked in the News & Rumors forum, especially without a question mark in the subject title.

So yeah...

**Just Dave**

That and how regular the question is...

Unless you have actual information, please refrain from asking in the News/Rumors section. It leaves a bad taste in our mouths after reading a repeated mistake.

**Sageheart**

im sorry i wasnt sure where it was suppose to go. since it is about rumors i thought this would be the corrrect place, if not please move it

**MajorTom11**

news and rumors is for POSTING news and rumours, not ASKING... do you think that if people knew something they would not say anything about it whilst visiiting a hobby specific forum???

You've got 400+ posts dude, you should know better lol...

**Just Dave**

He's already apologised Tom and someone has already told him. Just look above your post...

**Melissia**

Wait, you expect people to actually read?

But anyway, here's a bit from Stickmonkey:

I've seen "other" sites reporting I said nfw gave wound daemons on 2+. I never said that. Not sure where that is coming from.

From what I know right now nfw will be +2S across the board as now, but pagks will all count as pw, and tagks will all count as fw. Then on top of that, all nfw gain additional capabilities vs daemons. Plus unit leaders may have master crafted nfw...not sure if it's upgrade or standard.

Cheers.

Stickmonkey posted a playtest list:

GK 2000pt AL from PT:

HQ
GM w Retinue
Named character

Elite
5-man TAGK squad + 2 spec weapons
Dread - unknown configuration

Troop
2x 5-man PAGK squad + 1 spec weapon + razorback
10-man ????? squad + chimera

Fast
Storm Raven

No Heavies

----------------------

The PT list posted was played against 2k of Orks including nobs, mek with kff, lots of boys in trukks, a BW and dread mob. It was C&C with DoW.

GKs held most in reserve.
PAGKS in RB came in turn 2 and moved to boys flank. 1 squad got tarpitted with boys, the other fought thru boys to take objective 1.
unknown unit had HQ attached, spent game trading shots with dread mob until TAGKS arrived to help.
TAGKs TP in turn 4 and later assaulted Dread mob. 4 standing at end of game.
The SR took out one trukk turn 3 and the bw turn 5. Dread and HQ w retinue arrived in it and assaulted Nob mob. wiping it out in 1 round. then started after other boys.

It was reported as a pretty one sided battle. GKs nearly unassailable. GK win with 1 objective and second contested in turn 6. supposedly orks were close to 4:1 outnumbering GKs

That all I got on followup. enjoy.

Interesting bit here. Got to see some layout work on the new codex. I'll confirm the rumors of a fleshed out chapter org chart, but it's not your typical SM structure of 10 companies of 100 marines for sure.

And further information:

Corrected Psycannon profile (updated with new info):
24" A3 AP3 S6, no invul saves, pinning test for units or models with psykers.
or 36" H1 AP4 S5 5" blast, no invul saves, no cover saves. (does not cause psyker pinning)

Incinerator, no profile changes noted: S5 AP4 A1 template, no invul or cover saves.

GK Annointed Armor: All GKs (TA, PA, AA, etc.) wear ornate armor which has been blessed and annointed to provide additional protection both physically and spiritually. Any GK may always Re-roll any failed armor, invul, or cover saves.

Disclaimer: Please remember these are PT notes. These may not be in the final codex.

Some bits:

Annointed Armor is not wargear. Has point cost. Works w/ SS. Not as good at might seem...(aka something else to this rule I dont know yet)

'Out the Heretic' is well received by PT

'Shrouding' basically unchanged...aka nightfighting...one source suggests possible grant 6+ cover save (commentary: does this work with Annointed armor? IDK)

'Rites of Exorcism' daemon units charging as if into diff terrain.

'Aegis' enemy Psykers w/i 12" take psychic tests with +1d6

Indeed, no real harm done though.

Codex : Grey Knights is Q1 2011, we've got all manner of good stuff between then and now.
