So who is gonna start a GK army on the side?

You always hear of people starting a tyranid army, a necron army, a dark eldar army, or a tau army on the side.

But now you can get a relatively small marine army that is supposedly cheaper to buy and can be competitive.

So admit it, who is starting a GK army for funsies?

I might, but I want to break into dark eldar.

**Gavo**

I think I am. My IG army is mostly finished, I need a couple of conversions and quite a bit of painting to do, but it's mostly done at 2000 points.

I want a small, elite force that's great at CC and shooting at the same time (I like the CC part) to contrast with my IG. I'm thinking getting 500ish points worth of stuff and seeing how it goes from there. The only reason I'm considering this is because I would make a pimptastic terminator army, low model count = lower cost in money.

**revackey**

I love my DE too much to join the inquisition... I have to say, i haven't regretted buying them a second.

**Mukkin'About**

I am highly considering it.. just to model my dreadknight like this

**Fattimus_maximus**

I'm not gonna lie, these guys are making my like space marines again, but there rules make me cry angry tears of fear.

**Amaya**

Seriously considering buying 2500 points of GK.

**Gornall**

Definately building an army... Might even become my main one.

**Ascalam**

I already have one, but it needs about 2 inches of dust blown off it..

**Alphapod**

I'm interested in converting a few of my Deathwing units over to Grey Knights (switching SB/PF for SB/NFS) or buying a few new AoBR Terminator sets to upgrade. Maybe order a Stormraven and a Dreadknight for support and convert myself an HQ. I'll wait to see a PDF of the final codex before deciding though.

**Zarake**

Gonna buy a box or two of the terminators for my Deathwing but that's about it.
And MAYBE a box of the PAGK for veterans.

**MechaEmperor7000**

I had a small GK terminator force back during the allies rule, complete with Stern. I'll likely turn it into a full force now.

**Da-Rock**

I will be using my very detailed Black Templar Army as Grey Knights to playtest before buying a single model. I am currently having an ABSOLUTE blast building and playing my Tau right now. I know, who would have thought?

**Matt.Kingsley**

I know I am!

**chromedog**

I have no need to.

I ALREADY have a 3500 pt GK army (with an extra 750 pts of borrowed IG ST as ISTs).

Might add a couple of units to it though.

Building a SR, not buying that model as I'm not a fan of the stormguppy.

The DK needs an armoured shell for the baby carrier.

**SagesStone**

I was considering it, as it seemed like I could make a small and characterful army using the Paladins with their special character to make them troops. Turned out to be too strong and not too fun to play with the test (rather it got boring fast having nothing die at all), special character was Draigo who one shotted a HT every game and it works out to be $333 here for 20 plastic guys.

**Stvafel**

Maybe I'll pick up a box of PAGK and try to convert a nice BA libby.

**wuestenfux**

No, I will not build up a GK army.
My projects are building up DE (selling the old models at ebay) and painting Orks (Kan wall).

**DiscoVader**

Actually, I'm thinking about selling the old metal Grey Knights that I've got, for several reasons. I could use the money, and with the new Codex coming out I'm sure to find a buyer. Also, I find myself focusing a lot more on Fantasy rather than 40K these days, and if I get anything else I'd rather build up my Lizardmen some more and finish my Orks first. I dunno.

**chromedog**

I might get a box of the termies down the track, but not at local prices (5 metals for that price I can almost understand. 5 plastic models? Not on your life.)

If local trends can be followed, there is about to be a glut of DE models hitting the resale market. So they can afford to buy the GK.
Local noobs have only just realised that they are just as much the glass cannon as they used to be, and can't be played like marines.

**EmilCrane**

I've a;lready got 2 marines "side armies" one that is mroe like a second army (Black Templars) and one that is a side project (Blood Angels) but you can bet your ass that I'll be getting GK stuff for conversions.

**Ugavine**

Nah, I'm waiting for Necrons. Until then I'm sticking with my Orks.

**wuestenfux**

I have an Inquisitor, Daemonhost, 3 Familiars, 3 Acolyths, and 3 Warriors.
Ebay here I come...

**Lycaeus Wrex**

Considering it. For the cost per box you get an obscene amount of components (over 100 in the PAGK box alone) which should make for very individualistic models.

That and the silvery-blue paint scheme is a massive departure from my Cadians.

Oh, and I have a 1750 Khorne Daemon army that would make for some very cinematic battles. =D

L. wrex

**nosferatu1001**

Definitely. DK and codex ordered.

THinking ghost termies, jumping DK and the rest as terminators. Should be aces

**Brother Heinrich**

i probably will, just to put a few over-zealous demon players in my gaming group where they belong

**H.B.M.C.**

Yeah... I kinda want to. The plastic GKT's have me sold. The PAGK's can also look good if the poses are right. I don't like the Dreadknight, but I don't completely hate it either. I think it can be slavaged.

Now I have to plan it in a way that it doesn't get out of hand.

**Kanluwen**

That's exactly the way I'm thinking HB. Terminators and PA Grey Knights.

But none of those Crapknights. I'll shell out some extra cash and go for the less effective, but far more appropriately looking Forge World Grey Knight Dreadnought, tyvm.

**Just Dave**

I was certainly considering it, but I doubt I will after seeing the rules etc.

If I do though, it would be focussed around some (lovely) GKT's...

**Retrias**

yes, around a 1000 point as a final goal or so

wonder what is the minimal point for an all termie army (well HQ + 2 troop)

**nosferatu1001**

We have a 1 day club tournament on the 15th May, so far 3 of us have expressed a desire to start an elite GK army from scratch....6 weeks is plenty of time, right?
