I have been working on my tournament list for a local tourney and I have 1 problem.... I'm over 90 points....I have a few solutions I have been toying with but none of them make me happy. First I thought I could drop Crow and run with Inquisitor Coteaz. That would save me 50 points and I could drop the Psybolt Ammo on both my strike squads and save the other 40 to get me the 90. There is one major problem with that. That would drop my troop composition to below 35% and my elite composition up to like 60-ish. This would destroy my overall army composition score. The other option would be to drop some units... but the thought just makes me sick...

Anyone have any comments or thoughts on what you would do? I'm open to suggestions and or comments on how to deal with this particular rosters(style) composition issues.

I dont think you have optimal use of the psycannons.

You see Grey Knight armies have a formula for how good they are based on how many psycannons they have.

Total # Of Psycannons(4)/PointLevel = Max Psycannon Pwnage.

16(4)/2000 = .032 Psycannon Factorial.

You need atleast a .05 Psycannon Factorial to be a competitive GK player, so please re-do your list to have more psycannons.

I changed up the roster a little bit and it fixed my composition problems as well. Please let me know what you think... I appreciate all constructive comments.

With this set up I have good psycannon presence although using the formula above I am still below the .05 at .0402. But i figured the added psyfleman dread will help with that. He may be a target but I think its a risk worth taking.

Just make a 10 man purifier squad down to a 5-man. Probably more than 90 points saved that way. Could make their rhino a razorback with psybolt heavy bolter.

That's a joke, right?

Look at the GK lists from adepticon this year, most of them that are good are over 0.04, and at or above .05

Take out the Purgation squads and the ven dread, and give the list 3 RifleDreds with psy ammo and you got a pretty mean list.

why the psybolts on all of the squads? As far as I know psybolts don't affect psycannons.... and if you are spending 20pts for 3 stormbolters in the squad, that'd be kind of a waste....

I don't know why people complain about GK so much... It's just a game, and nobody complains about Mephiston... So why complain about Draigo?

So thank you again Smitty and Kaka I appreciate the excellent advice even if it is pointing out little things like the psybolt ammo. So after taking off the 120pts for the psybolt ammo I am left with this... I didn't know what else i could get for 120pts that would really beef up the list... so I added Coteaz.

Thoughts?

Instead of Coteaz, i would suggest getting a strike squad in there to mess with any deepstriking stuff.
