At the moment kinda toying with the idea of starting a grey knight army, here's something I came up with, wasn't really sure what was best for termies equipment wise, I would very tempted just to give them force swords for the 4+ invul but I6 is just as tempting as for the dread I was really stuck between taking a assault cannon (well Psycannon) or a twin linked autocannon, I was thinking of using the forgeworld model for it, anyways suggestions welcome!

1: I recommend changing the Grand Master's Halberd to Falcions, as he's already I5, he doesn't need the Initiative bonus. He may also serve better with Rad Grenades as well as the Psychotrokes.

2: Replace the Dread's Assault Cannon with Autocannons, and keep the Psy Ammo.

I would change the Grand Master to a Librarian. Shoruding is good for paladins, and Quicksilver, Might of Titan, and Sanctuary are all good spells as well.

If you take the Librarian you do not need the extra Int from the halberds on your paladins and can take them with swords instead for the Extra Inv save.


Any model that has only 1 attack should just keep the force sword. (strike and interceptor squads). Drop all of the halberds. they are far too exspensive. Buy a Rhino instead.
Justicar can take a Hammer if you want.



You lack long range firepower. 2x Auto cannon+psybolt Dread fill this role. You need the 48" range more than you need more psycannon shots.

@ Valkyrie - cheers for your reply with the grandmaster for me it was more a choose of sword of halberd, I don't really like the look of the Falcion's and I plan on making a grandmaster from Draigo. Either option would look very cool, only reason I went with the halberd was because I thought a 4+ invul was enough and I thought I could make a very cool looking model with a halberd (that and I thought it was wierd a GM attacking after the unit).

The autocannon is certainly on the cards, I think i need to decide which I think looks the coolest (really I am trying to balance looking cool with playability).

@ svendrex - thanks for your reply, I have been using a lib in my blood ravens for so long that I decided to give the lib a miss this time around. I think however when it comes to brother captain vs lib your 100% right but with the Grandmaster its not as simple as that. Originally I had Rhino's for both squads but I swapped those out for paladins (I was using normal termies originally). Aside from looking cool he does have the Grand Strategy rule which I could use to make both units of grey knights gain the scout rule (or on a 1-2 deep strike the paladins and stick one unit in the redeemer with GM).

downgrading the harderds is a good idea as I will admit thinking about its not so good with only 1 attack.

I am avoiding the 2x auto cannon build, i love battle tech and all but I like the idea of a dual role dread, besides how cool does the forgeworld dread look with a force weapon!

With the termies like the GM I was actually torn between sword and halberd, I might have to proxie some models and try them out before I decide for sure!

Well I am starting a grey knights army (few bits already bought) and have a couple of ideas for a list, here are my ideas so far, my plan for the GM is to use him to give the PAGK counter attack so they can make better use of the I6 force weapons.
