Hello, I'm in somewhat of a predicament right now. I have a tournament coming up at my FLGS this Saturday at 1750 points. I have my competitive Grey Knight list that i really haven't learned how to use completely to its full extent or my old and solid Ork army that I have been playing for almost 2 years. I don't know which one to play in this tournament. I really want to win too, so I need help deciding.

Here is my GK list
HQ - Crowe. 150
EL - Ven. Dreadnought - 2x TL Autocannons - Psybolt Ammo. 195
EL - Ven. Dreadnought - 2x TL Autocannons - Psybolt Ammo. 195

The grey knights have more transport popping potential and MSU is really strong right now.

If you want to win take the GK, no contest.

As well as being a stronger army overall, your GK list is far more optimised than your ork one.

Have a look at jy2's bat reps with his purifier build (http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/386276.page), especially how he uses crowe.

Go with the GK. Your chances of winning are better with the orks because a well played semi competitive ork list is deadlier than a poorly played highly competitive GK list. The problem with the list will most likely be operator error, but you're going to need the experience with your list. The only way to gain valuable experience is to play tough players; there is only such much a player can gain by playing the same regular group of people at the FLGS.

Considering that you aren't completely comfortable with the GK's yet, you're better off with Orks.

This.

You're always better off playing the army you know best at tournaments, until you really have the other army down.

If you don't know the new army inside and out you'll miss stuff/misinterpret rules (we all have at some point) / forget to use rules then kick yourself for it.

I'd get a few more games in with the Boys in Grey before using them in a tournament.
