Hi there. I have just registered and found this nice game. I decided to play Grey Knights and have made a list of it. Once it is fine tuned, I will shop till I drop to get the models

Here it is
I edited my list before posting here.

HQ:
Castellan Crowe
Inquisitor Coteaz

Troops:
Purifier 1- (5 men)
Add ons: (5 men) + (2 deamon hammers) + (psybolts) + (8 force halberds)
Transport: Rhino
Total:306pts

Purifier 2- (5 men)
Add ons: (5 men) + (2 deamon hammers) + (psybolts) + (8 force halberds)
Transport: Rhino
Total: 306pts


Purifier 3- (5 men)
Add ons: (5 men) + (2 deamon hammers) + (psybolts) + (8 force halberds)
Transport: Rhino
Total:306pts

Henchmen 1- Total squad points: 169pts
Includes-
1 Chimera with turret and hull Heavy Bolter
6 psykers
3 Warrior Acolytes + carapace armour + 3 Plasmaguns

Henchmen 2- Total squad points 169pts
Includes-
1 Chimera with turret and hull Heavy Bolter
6 psykers
3 Warrior Acolytes + carapace armour + 3 Plasmaguns

Henchmen 3- Total squad points: 169pts
Includes-
1 Chimera with turret and hull Heavy Bolter
6 psykers
3 Warrior Acolytes + carapace armour + 3 Plasmaguns

Heavy support:
Dreadnought- 1
Add ons: (Psybolts) + (TL Auto cannon) + (TL lascannon)
Total:160pts

Dreadnought- 2
Add ons: (Psybolts) + (TL Auto cannon) + (TL lascannon)
Total: 160pts

TOTAL: 1995 pts
59 infantry, 6 vehicles, 2 dreadnoughts

Thinking of ditching the Plamsa guns and carapace armour for the warrior Acolyte and replace with meltagun and extra psykers to make a S10 AP1 Large blast on the psychic barrage. I'll even take off a lascannon from a dread and replace it with an auto cannon. So that will free up and extra 20 pts.

Which means One henchmen group will have a S10 AP1 large blast, while two others will have S9 AP1 blast.
So total army would be 1991pts instead.

Tell me what you guys think of this army list. I think it could still hold well against Tyranids and Tau. But this list will definitely go hand to hand with Blood Angels and Space wolves and Codex Marines.

I am iffy on fighting eldar with this list. But against Chaos and Necrons, it could outfight them. But still, I think I would do badly with Mech orks. But mech guard, I think I could still survive if I pop enough leman russes.

I take in Castellan becasu he makes purifiers troops, but I am thinking of removing him and put another anti tank dread in heavy support. So instead of 6 troops, I would have 3.

I don't play GK, but What ho! anyway. To be honest, my advice after 20 odd years of collecting is not to fuss too much about army lists to start with. Just buy some core units and get modelling and painting

Welcome to dakka, I agree with Flash, I'm a huge fan of GK's but I'm collecting a force then worrying about the points later

Thank you for the welcome people. I am so happy.

I know this is a fun game, but the models are expensive. I save up some cash and I wanted to spend them wise in having a fun game and winningas much as losing.

I want to join tourneys in Singapore with a good list so I can have some victories under my belt and competative Wargaming experience.
