So I play eldar but am going to make a GK army.
My plan is to get Coteaz and some Crusaders. I love Crusaders because of their 3++ and power weapons for just 15 points each!!!
What are your thoughts on Crusaders?

Super cheap pains in the ass to kill and good frontal bullet soakers.

Yea. I don't actually have any GK models yet but 10 SS and Coteaz were on the agenda. Crusaders I think are amazing. Just have 5 with Coteaz and shove them in a Razorback and your sweet as. They are great protection for characters to hide in. Only thing is that I'd expect them to be slow on foot.

What point level are you playing at?

A standard unit that I use is 4-6 DCA with 1-2 Crusaders out front. Usually put them in a Stormraven and insert where needed after AA is eliminated.

Coteaz is the best HQ in the codex, followed by the GM. Start with Coteaz, ~30Strikes, and henchmen and you're onto a winning list.

Finally, welcome to the brotherhood!

I don't take strikes... MEQ are to easy to kill this edition.
The only PAGK I take are purgation squads with some kind of 2+ save at the front (usually coteaz) to tank non AP1/2 weapons.
Other than that I like running lots of squads of 7-8 DCA w. 4-5 crusaders at the front.
