I am planing on making a grey knights purifier list and eventually get the army to 2000 points when i get enough money and i was just wondering if anyone could give me feedback, advice and maybe tactics for the list.

1500 points
HQ
Castellan Crowe - 150

Elites
Vindicare assassin - 145
Techmarine (Meltabombs, Blind grenades, Nemisis force sword) - 105

Troops
10 Paladins (2 Psycannons, 8 Halberds, [Rhino] * Combat squads) - 316
10 Paladins (2 Psycannons, 8 Halberds, [Rhino] * Combat squads) - 316
10 Paladins (2 Psycannons, 8 Halberds, [Rhino] * Combat squads) - 316

Heavy Support
Psyfleman Dreadnought (2 TL Autocannons, Psybolt ammo) - 135

That all comes to 1488.

i'm not entirely sure what to do for the last 500 points but i was thinking another Psyfleman Dreadnought? i will only be playing Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Tyranids and Necrons with this army, just btw.
my overall basic tactic plans for this list were;
send the 3 rhinos with 10 purifiers each into the middle of the battle field, pop smoke if i'm out of range with the psycannons and if not, shoot with them. Keep the Dreadnought back with the techmarine and shoot any Heavy support i can. Use Bolster Defenses to increase the cover save of the ruin my assassin will be in. I will use the assassin to take out any vehicles if i haven't already with the Dreadnought (or if they are too heavily armored for it) and also knock off any invulnerable saves or take out any powerfists.ect. when the purifiers make it into CC range i will charge with them ( when i disembark i will split them into combat squads with 1 psycannon in each) and if i'm against multi-wound models i will active the Nemisis force weapons, if against a horde, use cleansing flame and if against MEQs, use Hammerhand. and as for Crowe, he will just chill and do whatever he does. but yeah, any advice would be appreciated and any idea's for the last 500 points would also be appreciated.

I suggest you run your purifiers like this in 10 man squads..:

Purifier Squad: 355 points
4 psycannons, 1 hammer, 5 halberds, rhino.

That makes your purifiers amazing as hell when shooting after they pop out of the rhino. Causing some good damage, and then next turn they can charge and really reck the enemy. Just some input to add points,

You should add another 2 psyfleman dreadnought too.

For the rest of the points add psybolt to your purifer squads if you want.

Just some of my personal input

Thanks for the advice, here is the list now then;

HQ
Castellan Crowe - 150

Elites
Techmarine (Meltabombs, Blind grenades, Nemisis force sword) - 105
Vindicare Assassin - 145

Troops
10 Purifiers (4 Psycannons, 1 Daemon Hammer, 5 Halberds, Rhino, Psybolt ammo) - 355
10 Purifiers (4 Psycannons, 1 Daemon Hammer, 5 Halberds, Rhino, Psybolt ammo) - 355
10 Purifiers (4 Psycannons, 1 Daemon Hammer, 5 Halberds, Rhino, Psybolt ammo) - 355

Heavy Support
Psyfleman Dreadnought (2 TL Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo) - 135
Psyfleman Dreadnought (2 TL Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo) - 135
Psyfleman Dreadnought (2 TL Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo) - 135

that comes to 1870 so i have 130 points left, any ideas on what to do with the remaining points? maybe an Interceptor squad to claim/ Contest objectives? or another Purifier squad to hang back with the Techmarine or Crowe (because they won't have transport)

How about taken 6x5 Purifiers in Rhinos since you already have maxed-out the psycannons. This would give the army increased mobility, higher protection, and higher volume of shots.

That sounds like a good idea, i guess i would just combat squad them because of the psybolt ammo and that would fill in my last 130 points, thanks

For 1000 point battles, what do you think i should use from this list? because, really, i'm not too sure.

At low points, GK rely on the power of the psycannon. It can take out most anything you run into at that point level. You will also not see the amount of long range shooting units that could kite you.


You will probably want several 5 man purifier units in rhinos, at least one Dread for long range support...and that should be all you need.
