Well mates, recently I have been trying to decide on how to run my GK'd in an upcoming tournament and I have run into a few snags. Since GK units are so expensive for the most part, Im having a hard time trying to piece together units that work well with each, which makes it harder for me to do so since I am currently a bit limited on what I can run in this tournament at the moment ( thanks to a foul-up with the postal service ). At the moment, I currently have:

*Grand Master w/Psycannon, Demon Hammer

*10x Terminators (Most with NF Swords, Halberds, and SBs, with 2x to 3x w/Psycannons and Hammers)

*20x Grey Knights, (most with NF Swords and SB's, a few w/Psycannons and Hammers. Debating on running these guys as either Strike Squads or Interceptors).

*Aegis Defense Line w/Quad-Gun

*Inquisitor Coteaz

*2x Squads of 12x Warrior Acolytes: Each with 9x Bolters, 3x Plasma. (Might have around 40x more of these guys, just depends if my friend who is building them is able to finish them on time or if my ebay order miraculously makes it on time.

*2x Chimeras

*2x Razorbacks w/Psybolt Assault Cannons/Lascannons

*Dreadknight w/Incinerator, Gatling Psilenser, Greatsword (A friend has 2x more with this same build but I doubt I could take all of them at this point level).


As you can see, I don't really have a lot of flexibility on what I can run at the moment but I have a few ideas, just not sure what I can do with them. Anyways, if anyone has any suggestions on what I can do with these guys or if they have there own 1250 point GK lists that they have found successful then I would really appreciate the help.

Playing by book scenarios or special scenarios ala NOVA?

Just standard book scenarios mate. Have a lot of new players at my store, which is why the Store Owner made a tournament at this level.

So, guessing not many people run GK's at this point level then?

How many strike squads do you have, you could just put mass s5 storm bolter fire out there. Then you could drop either a dreadknight or riflemen dreadnought for HS. Taking a brotherhood champ as your hq you could have 41 storm bolters with Psybolt ammo, and have a dreadknight with points left over for upgrades.

Without the Codex handy, I'm guessing here, but you could do something like:

GM w/ Incinerator, Hammer, all grenades, Brain Mines,

10- Termies w/ two Psycannons, psybolt, and however many hammers/halberds you want

5- Strike Squad manning an ADL w/ Quad gun

Dreadknight w/ Incinerator, Psilencer

5 Interceptors w/ either a psycannon or Incinerator, a hammer

I play at 1350 a ton because it's our local tourney points total. Here is a list for 1250 it will require you getting some proxy models since you don't have 30 PA GKs. Also I don't know what size tabel you are playing on so I assumed standard 6x4. We play on a 4x4 to fit more people into the events. Because of this I don't bring teleporters for my DKs because they will still get there. Anyway onto the list.

Grand Master: Great pick to make the Interceptors and Dreadknight a scoring unit if needed.
Coteaz: Cheap lvl 2 psyker buffs at this points total are a huge boon to your forces.

Strike Squad x10: 2x Psycannons, GK lists want as many psycannons as you can pump into a list.
Strike Squad x10: 2x Psycannons

Interceptors x10: 2x Psycannons, this moves upfield with the dreadknight, be sure to stay 20ish inches away, as cool as it sounds to be right next to the enemy these and strike squads do more damage with bullets than swords.

Dreadknight: Heavy Incinerator and Persoanl Teleporter, pwns noobs nuff said.

I find this to be a solid list for 1250, I wish you had more DKs because they are just a dream when fielded in duos.
