Not according to the original fluff for them in the 1988 Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness book, it explicitly says that they were founded in a secret founding after the 3rd founding.


Seeing as realm of chaos is so old, and GW love to redo fluff, the grey knights origin has been changed. Although a heresy grey knight army is impossible as their production was only ordered after the heresy, add to the fact that their chapter number is 666 (truelly unoriginal rubbish fluff) it puts them probably past the main 2nd founding.

and you have just defeated your own arguement, althought it is a strong possibility (i personally don't believe they became GK, but were involved in their founding and training), as the founding of the GK is not actually described it is still only a possibility.

Those guys were to be the first of the Grey Knights.


I read it here. Everything it says sounds good but I'm not an expert. I've heard a lot of different things about this. So correct me if this is false.
