Well mates, with a tournament beginning next week, I have finalized a list that I fell will be very effective against any opponents I come across, as well as maximize the use of some of the cooler models the GK's have access to, particularly the Psycannpn Razorback and the Dreadknight. Anyways, here is my list so tell me what you guys think of it.

*Inquisitor Ulric (aka Coteaz)

*Wolf Squad #1: (w/Inquisitor Ulric)
-w/9x Bolters, Flak-Armor 3x Servitors w/Plasma Cannons, Chimera w/Multi-Laser, Heavy Bolter, Searchlight

*Wolf Squad #2:
-w/9x Bolters, 3x Plasma, Flak-Armor, Chimera w/Multi-Laser, Heavy Bolter, Searchlight

*Wolf Squad #3:
-w/9x Bolters, 3x Plasma, Flak-Armor, Chimera w/Multi-Laser, Heavy Bolter, Searchlight

*Wolf Squad #4:
-w/9x Bolters, 3x Plasma, Flak-Armor, Chimera w/Multi-Laser, Heavy Bolter, Searchlight

*Wolf Squad #5:
-w/5x Bolter, Flak-Armor, Razorback w/TLAC w/Psybolt Ammunition, Searchlight

*Wolf Squad #6:
-w/5x Bolter, Flak-Armor, Razorback w/TLAC w/Psybolt Ammunition, Searchlight

*Dreadknight:
-w/Greatsword, Heavy Incinerator, Gatling Psilenser, Personal Teleporter

Total: 1250 points

A few things I would point out, I don't think you should take the Gattling Psilenser on the DK. I just don't think its worth the points unless you're facing demons.

You seem to have a lot of plasma, I see overheating costing you a fair amount of points especially as the saves on these guys isn't the best. With BS 4 you're probably almost as likely to kill yourself as the enemy. I'd take melta if you want something heavy.

That said you're putting a lot of guys into a tank with 5 fire points (or none on the Razorbacks).

I could babble on but heres what I can do (no codex in front so points are rough)

1., Lose the Psilenser
2. Razorbacks only need the minimum 3 Acolytes, They can stay inside at the back of the board and the acolytes can get out at the end of the game on home objectives.
3. I'd try and squeeze some monkeys in where you can. Rending or extra range would be nice, plus more lascannons.
4. You don't really need so many people in the tanks. Chances are if the transports get popped, so will your guys. You just need to keep them alive.
5. You probably were going to do this anyway but divination on Coteaz. Its funny just how many people forget about his ''I've been expecting you''. Prescience on those PC's will hurt a lot too.

I thought i'd add, I thought the Razorbacks had Lascannons but with Psycannons you're going to have a lot of difficulty against armour. I take 8 Psycannons at 600 points and in a doubles tournament at that point bracket there were people with Land Raiders and a IG list with 3 fliers. With the recent tau release I would be expecting Riptides too.

Few things to consider:


I agree that the small Razorback squads should be made into the 3 man units. You WANT less bodies in those units so it is easier to hide the entire unit out of Sight.


Consider taking Carapace Armor ONLY on the guys with Plasma guns. This will give you a bit better chance of living when you overheat.

Also, I would consider taking a single unit of Meltaguns, but this really depends on your Local Metagame. How likely are you to see AV 14?



I think that your knight is very expensive. I am not sure the sword or the Psilencer is needed. You could drop both and have points for an Inquisitor with the Psyker upgrde to give a unit of plasmaguns a re-roll to hit. More damage, less overheating.

In 1250? I doubt I will see very much, however I might swap out 1x of the Plasma Squads for Melta guns so I have some anti-tank, as I have only seen 1x or 2x guard players with a few Leman Russ Battle Tanks. Besides that, I have considered putting carapace on them, however so far I haven't had the need for it, as I tend to roll very well with them for the most part so I should be ok. As for the Gatling Psilencer, I like it as I have had great success with it, as 20x shots at a unit of 10x Marines is going to kill a few of them. Haven t been proven wrong yet in that regard.
