With the new Grey Knight codex out for a few weeks I'm sure some of you have come up with an Apoc Datasheet or two, let's share them all on here. Here's my contribution.

Grey Knight Purifying Light Formation

Points: 200+Models

Formation:
0-1 Castellan Crowe
3+ Purifier Units
0+ Land Raider Redeemers

Special Rules:

Sanctified Fire: All Incinerators and Flamestorm Cannons in the formation automatically have the Psyflame upgrade (even though Incinerators may not normally use this upgrade). In addition, if three or more Purifier units are within 3" of each other at the beginning of the Shooting Phase, they may make a ranged attack using the following profile, resolved from any one model in any of the firing units. All other models may use their other weapons as normal.

Range: Hellstorm S* Ap5 Assault 1, Pinning
*Always wounds on a 4+. Vehicles take a S7 hit on their side armour.

Any Daemon hit by the attack must still test for Pinning, even though they would not normally be affected by it. Other Fearless units are unaffected.

So what do you think of this one?

Feel free to add your own formations or links to proposed units/formations.

I thought fearless units cannot be pinned? Also, some clarification is needed on who can use the special attack. Is it considered shooting for the entire unit? or can the other models in the unit still fire there stormbolters/psycannons. I'm also assuming the other 2 units can fire as normal, or can they not fire while the hellstorm template is being used?

Also, seems like 200pts is a tad high. I'd probably go 100-150pts, especially if the other units cannot fire when using the hellfire template.

Ok I'll make that clearer in the rules. Anyone else have any formations to post?

Incinerator (fluff wise at least) Are Heavy Flamers with Psyflame (note the same statline)

The same way that Psycannons (fluff wise again) are Assault Cannons with Pysbolt ammo (same staline again, then you add the ability to move and shoot)

Incinerators should not gain extra strength.


Make Sanctified Flame a Psykic Shooting Attack

also, the way yours is worded no one has to have an incinerator to make this special attack.
