Thoughts?

I know you said it was for a tournament but if you ever do this in friendly games I hope you spontaneously combust

I'd go with 2nd GK list as it will ensure your enemy has no tanks left. Not as strong at melee, but who needs melee when you can kill 'em 24" out =)

I worry about only fielding 15 models, especially after paying the Crowe toll.

And the 13 vehicles that will be on the table? >_>*** If you took a list like that to a tourneys I used to go to (small town, 12-20 people would show up, some had to drive 1 hour, still the closest tournament) you would wreck face. Hopefully for your opponents they are optimized too haha It's just so many shots in one turn that you make Gun Line IG look weak =P Might not have the same power as melta/plasma spam but it's still pretty crazy the number of shots you can put out.

I'm looking at 26 Purifiers vs. 15.

With 26, I could drop one model to add a couple extra Psycannons, but I rarely take more than two per squad (since you can only fire two out a Rhino). I can combat squad into 5 scoring units.

With 15 models, I have to play much more conservatively with my actual troops and I'm nowhere near as scary in combat. However, I have 8 extra S8 shots per turn.

I feel like this is a viable middle-ground:

Grey Knights
Crowe
10 Purifiers - 5 Halberds, 1 Hammer, 4 Psycannons, Rhino
5 Purifiers - 2 Halberds, 1 Hammer, 2 Psycannons, Rhino with Searchlight
5 Purifiers - 2 Halberds, 1 Hammer, 2 Psycannons, Rhino with Searchlight
Dreadnought - 2 TL Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo
Total - 1000

I do not see how you are fielding the dread at this points level.

When I did the math, you were 134 points over.

Edit

I did my math totally wrong, sorry.

No problem!

The more I look at my options, I believe this will be it:

Grey Knights
Crowe
10 Purifiers - 5 Halberds, 1 Hammer, 4 Psycannons, Rhino
5 Purifiers - 2 Halberds, 1 Hammer, 2 Psycannons, Rhino with Searchlight
5 Purifiers - 2 Halberds, 1 Hammer, 2 Psycannons, Rhino with Searchlight
Dreadnought - 2 TL Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo
Total - 1000

Edited original post.

And what tournament is this so I am sure I don't show.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

We play at a comic book store in Houston.

We'll be attending Wargamescon in June.
