Well I have to say, reading these posts make me almost regret choosing GK as my very first army, almost. NOTE: I have only been in this hobby for 3weeks.

Time to throw my dog into this ring. I have read the descriptions of all the armies and their play styles. I considered it all and I still came to GK. I love the fluff, the models, and the play styles.

I know most think that they are cheesy because they are over powered and cheap to buy, in a sense. But when you think of it, by making GKs OP and hence the army to buy if you want to win, they have created a demand. It is a fantastic marketing scheme and I am sure the next new codex to come out will do the same thing. Force players, that don't already have that army, to buy models and paints. That is of course if you want the "Best Army".

As I said, I am enjoying the GK and I don't think I will change armies even if they nerf the hell out of it.

If you're enjoying playing them, then that's all that should matter, and you shouldn't let other people's grudge get in the way of you playing the army you want.

I agree with you on the power rise; it's been steadily happening for a while, and does look to be a deliberate marketing ploy (plus Matt Ward being.. Well, Matt Ward). That said, in terms of £/$/etc, Grey Knights tend to be among the cheapest of armies (small units, plastic models). So perhaps not.

That is my point, it does not matter how much whining people do. Us GK players will continue to play GKs.
