As I continue on buying more n more gk paladins plus some HQ's (draigo+Lib) i would like to run them with BA vehicles or use them in BA force which i am doing now (GK aphotecary = SP in TDA).Oh yeah my GK's have black-red golden color scheme with some white (but its bit different than BA), so they look pretty similar to BA.

Therefore i would like to ask if it would be possible fluff wise that a GK's force (15 paladins + 2 hq's )would join BA force for a long time to addopt their colours and even some equipment (vehicles) ???

Thank you.

Not really. I can't think of any reason why the Grey Knights would want to be super cool best friends with Blood Angels. The Grey Knights CERTAINLY wouldn't change their paint scheme, as that's not really done lightly anyway.

I'm honestly kind of surprised that the Inquisition isn't more in the Angels' faces about that whole geneseed corruption thing.

@ Bloodtzar

um, no.

They will work, fluffwise, with a chapter to deal with a specific threat, but they generally mindwipe the participants afterwards. They would not adopt the chapters colours (they have their own heraldry, and i doubt they'd change it) and would not use the chapter's vehicles (again, they have their own) past that time.

In short, Grey KNights supported by Blood Angles blender-naughts and Ball-Predators on top of their own stuff is highly unlikely, not to mention a bit dubious in game (they have enough powerful stuff of their own without cherry-picking the BA codex for more ).

Colourscheme-wise :whatever you feel like painting your army as is your choice. Neon pink 'Grey Knights' have been spotted in this part of space, bearing banners of Tzeentch

Besides, GK can't be their supercoolbestfriends.... BA are already super mega BFFs with the Necrons!

I was not looking to use GK with the best that BA can offer It was ment to give them BA LRC/LRR or SR that they would use it to do some sort of elitist mission they need to ...

Overall i was thinking as some sort of co-op just to get things done, or morelike they have common goal that will take some time, so GK's start addopt the ways of thinking prehaps some heraldy, or replace their broken equipment from BA froce. AS they would be minority in-between BA force, at some part they would become a succesor chapter of GK chapter.

I was just thinking, as if it would be possible, as i did not read any fluff so far besides 'dexes ~.~

Grey Knights would never change their color pattern. And they would never accept to join any chapter since every other chapter is suitable to Chaos corruption.

It is possible for GK to help Ba in some mission ( even to require their help ), but only if BA minds get erased from any memory regarding that mission.

Any GK would never combine forces with the BA for longer than a mission dictated.

Even if a squad of GK and BA were stranded somewhere together with no known means to escape (very, very unlikely) I would doubt the GK would share knowledge, equipment etc. or even allow a BA to repair their equipment. It would be interesting though if they were ever put in this scenario.

Heh


But shouldn't the bit about Grey Knights being spotted also be redacted, given their super-secret snowflake status..

It's a bit like having a military spokesman standing in front of a sign saying something like 'Area 51' and saying 'There is no Area 51', or my personal favourite (i've actually seen this one ) 'Top Secret Military Base, Next left..'

I was trying to imply that any suggestion of kaos gray nites was heresy, more than just the existence of the Grey Knights. But yes, you're probably right.

I got the joke


Those pink GK termies will be burned onto the inside of my skull nonetheless, and it'd take a bolt round to relieve the pressure

Fortunately that is the Inquisitions answer to most problems of this kind..
