Hey Guys, My Grey Knight Army is coming along nicely and although I only have 1000 points I have made a 2k list in advance which i am buying the models from, however I have also decided to create a 1750 list as most tournaments and players at my store prefer to play this value than 2000, How is the list from a semi competitive view? All comments are welcome.

Why would you spend money for a semi-competitive force?

Inquisitor can hardly go against tougher opponents like MCs or HQs. They'll get killed before they have a chance to swing back.

Because I like the models, If you don't enjoy playing with an army or like the models, then what's the point in playing?

Anything Productive, may I add?

Very true. I always play an army i like, i'm not worried about winning the whole world. i like the list. looks fun.

Why not drop the chimera and give the assassins a rhino? Saves you some points to buy a few more servo skulls/gear and it has psychic pilot.

Looks like a neat list, not the very best obviously but not a complete bag of dicks list everyone seems to be going for.

I was thinking about that, but both inqusitors are going with the Death Cults, this is for wound absorption as well as assisting in combat, the stuff gives the Death Cults a chance against the Trygon or a Tervigon as it will be T5 and i have the potential to be T6, I did want a bit of an overkill unit as it does make it fun as the strikes could be boring at times.

Why not drop 2 strike squads and get 5 termies in a redeemer?

I'm not sure, it wouldn't be too bad, I might get the standard LR though for some more anti tank firepower then give the termie unit an incinerator, what does everyone else think?

Kills marines on a 2!! go for it you have the points, plus if your up against nids just use the tank to burn the swarms, and use your termies to take out the MC

In this list dude I would just do Purifiers. When I first got into G.K I tried a build like this and then I tried Purifiers. Purifiers are way better at shooting, combat and points cost.

Believe me i'd love to, but there is no WAY i'm taking crowe.

Yeah, Crowe is pretty gak. He's only useful for tackling hordes using cleansing flame and using blade shield to tie them up. Taking Crowe and max min Purifier units still works out cheaper and more affective than Strike Squads. I think Crowe and my Purifier units are about 1,200 points in total. I've then got four Dreadnoughts in.

I agree in every way, but this is why my army is Semi Competitive

I would drop one of the inquisitors (probably the Hereticus one) then give all your Strike squads psybolt ammo, it's a good upgrade in 10 man squads as you'll be wounding everything on lower rolls and it really helps against DE vehicles, land speeders and even stuff like rhinos. Just something to consider.

Yeah true that was my original plan however I know it sounds stupid but I didn't want my SS to have Psybolt at 1750 because they don't have it at 2k Plus i see that the inquisitor situation is a real problem as he dies fairly quickly when CC is reached, 2 inquisitors will help me keep that Stubborn and benefit my DCA's even more which is very handy, i like having and want a deathstar like unit that the enemy puts a lot of fire onto as it relieves pressure on other units.
