Possibly not quite wishlisty actually.

The ability for GKs to teleport once per game is for basic GKs only not for terminators.

**schadenfreude**

Well for the most part I think what we have seen of the concept behind GK will improve the meta game. The basic concept is going to be an entire army of elite MEQ with power weapons that cost a lot more than normal MEQ, and lack tools for destroying mech.

End result should be GK>MEQ armies, but I see GK having a lot of problems against orks, nids, IG, mechanized eldar, and Tau.

The only part I don't like is it will reinforce mech as king, and DOA as one of the few non mech lists out there will find GK to be a hard counter.

We have confirmation of GK for April!

I haven't looked at the article since I'm not signed in, but this is great news.

Here's the article in full

As the Emperor prepared for his final confrontation with the traitor Horus, he granted one final gift to Mankind, a safeguard and protection against the horrors of the Warp - the Grey Knights. A brotherhood of warriors as elite as they are secretive, the Grey Knights are a shining line of silvered steel that stands between humanity and the Daemons of Chaos.

Trained as the mightiest paragons of mental fortitude and martial discipline in the Imperium, the Grey Knights maintain a vigilant watch for daemonic incursion, responding wrathfully against the scions of the Dark Gods, and those who dally with them.

Clad in baroque Terminator armour and wielding powerful weapons such as storm bolters and Nemesis force weapons, the Grey Knights tear through the enemy, unleashing an onslaught of psychic powers and sorcery to sunder the foe.

The Grey Knights are an unstoppable force, the manifestation of the Emperor's will, valiant warriors who willingly sacrifice their own humanity so that Mankind itself can endure.

This April Games Workshop releases Codex: Grey Knights, alongside a comprehensive range of fantastically detailed Citadel miniatures. Although details are being kept firmly under wraps for now, you can expect an exciting selection of plastic kits to enable you to build your own Grey Knights army.

Over the coming weeks we'll be releasing more details both here on the Games Workshop website and also in the pages of White Dwarf - to ensure you're the first to get the news, make sure you subscribe to the Games Workshop newsletter and keep an eye on the What's New Today blog.

Guess this official announcement deserves its own thread: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/338686.page

**Mad4Minis**

Well, the article ^^^ confirms that the new stuff will be plastic, which really shouldnt surprise anyone. Im looking forward to some termies.

**Just Dave**

IMHO I feel the article seems to place more emphasis on their using Terminator armour - there's no mention of any other Grey Knights - which could support the rumors of Termies as troops.

A brotherhood of warriors as elite as they are secretive, the Grey Knights are a shining line of silvered steel that stands between humanity and the Daemons of Chaos.

Having read the GW announcement blurb now (I usually skim or ignore them), I can't help but think of Garro and his super-duper-secret mission that he's busy with. Is there a chance of him being mentioned in the new codex as the founder?

Low model count, elite troops with high unit cost....don't we already have such an army..Dark Angels?

Yeah but this army's going to be good

I think you mean any Space Marine army BUT Dark Angels.

And besides, these guys are more elite with more cost.

**Footsloggin**

I just wonder if we're going to get some new AT weapons...

Psyhicic Power that giver your Justicar STR 10 melee attack... good enought AT for me.
Along with Land Raiders, Rending Psycannons (If some of the Rumours are to believed), Storm Ravens and a 'DreadKnight'....

**fatty**

in april we know whats true and fals. the month is set i just got an email from gw.

there chapter number is 666

thats enough reason to start playing them

"Their"...

Anyway, their chapter number has ALWAYS been 666. What I can't figure out is that line about the Emperor's last gift to humanity before he took the Golden Throne. If they are the 666th chapter, and the chapters were not created until after the Heresy.... WTF?

**BrookM**

Chances are they got the number of el diablo after the Heresy, but the gift to humanity is most likely the foundation of the Grey Knights led by Garro and his band of battle brothers.

**Prophecy07**

Haven't read the Garro books, but I'm vaguely aware of the fluff. That was -=][=- though, wasn't it? Not GK specifically?

**johnstewartjohn**

The garro audio books point more to grey knights.

**BrookM**

Aye, seems that way. There's three founding members: Garro, Iacton "Old Balls" Qruze and that Sister of Silence. I've got a feeling Garro will be gathering the first Grey Knights.

I really don't. I think it's just people getting overzealous in the description of him wearing "grey armor".

But hey, you know what else is grey? Primed Astartes Powered Armour before it's given the livery of the Chapters it's delivered to.

**BrookM**

Yeah, but your opinion stopped mattering to me a long time ago.

Next person to pile on is going to get the "Pop!"

Stay on topic guys!

Whoops

Okay okay well theres something I have been wondering about for a long time.

Early early rumours said that TAGK could mix and match NFW/SB with TH/SS. Any news or confirmation on this? Can they get lightning claws?

I really wanna field NFW/SS TAGK, it would be bad ass.

**micahaphone**

Dammit, now I want a GK army.

**Gibbsey**

I kind of want a pure terminator army....

EDIT: English Fail! (thats what i get for starting off writing one sentance then changing it)

While they would be badass, sounds awfully cheesy.

I could only imagine they being either NFW/SB or TH/SS and no mix, but then again we still have two and a half months until the shiny new codex is in hand...

Not to mention supremely expensive even if it was allowed.

However the models would look absolutely awesome with a NFW/SS, channelling some of the 'space knight' fluff in the right direction.

What I would actually really like to see is maybe a storm shield the in PAGK box. I mean it would be awesome to have a NFW/SS justicar in power armour leading a squad of PAGK. Hopefully it would be a little more ornate than the current assault marine variant...
