Hey guys, I'm having my first match against GKs in a few days, sadly as part of a tournament and i'm kinda scared and with lots of doubts... after all they are an army full of force weapons and with preferred enemy against half my list (Chaos Space Marines), so i'll seek some help here with questions regarding the GKs.

First of all... PA GKs have only 1 attack?, i know they have stormbolter and their weapons, but seeing them wielding the stormbolter in 1 hand and remembering the old grit rule i'm not sure if they'll get an additional attack.

Also the dreadknight, does he get an extra attack for wielding two different weapons?, or does he only gains it while dual wielding doomfists?

They don't get an extra attack.
I don't think the Dreadknight does either...

The dreadknight gets an extra attack if you leave him with the two doomfists, but if you give him one of the special weapons he does not. Also no the PAGK do not get the extra attack.

All as said above.

Well that's that then.
If you need tips on how to dust GK then ask around in Tactics.

The best strategical tip, though, is probably siphoning gas out of the guy's car before the tournament.

That's probably the best strat i can use to win, after reading the codex... damn, i think they are going to slaughter my army specially since the big punch are 2 daemon princes and a greater daemon which he can kill with one lucky wound from anything on his army, thx daemonbane.

And if he goes PAGK, even thou they won't get the extra attack, each attack will deny me my precious FnP save on plague marines.. it's gonna be fun.

And yah, i'll probably post around 40k tactics for some in-game tips, it'll be pretty suspicious if the GK dude doesn't show up for the game

Lots of guns, plasma and melta preferable. If you have then, take berzerkers to go toe to toe in melee with them, or at least to tie him over for a little while while you redo your battle line. They play more as a 'come to me' army from what I've seen, with the 3 rifle dreads shooting str 8 everywhere.
