I am just going to start a GK army, I have made a list to play against my friends in 750 point games, so what do you think?

Inquisitor Corteaz (100)

Paladin Squad (275)
-Brotherhood Banner (25)

GK Strike Squad (100)
- Psycannon (10)
- Master Crafted weapons (10)

Purgation Squad (100)
- Psycannons x3 (60)
- Master Crafted weapons (10)

I was also going to add another paladin or a transport on but I haven't decided yet.

I might also take in some lascannons or plasma cannons instead of psycannons if at all possible.

Hey bud. I play chaos but I do fight against gk a lot.. here's what I notice.

Coteaz is a waste at this points level. With few reserves, you might not use his ability much at all. Also, not taking henchmen as troops because of him removes any real synergy he could provide.

I'd try to put in 3 henchmen with a razorback that has psybolt heavy bolters, if you keep coteaz.

I would consider dropping the bro banner and master crafted weps for more bodies/marines/henchmen.. bodies is key tor gk, if you don't spam vehicles..

If you take lascannons, it should be tllc on razorbacks

Yes this is a quick made list, I need to go over it more, thanks for the suggestion's

You're welcome dude

Well, you do need a second troop choice unless you guys are playing restricted force org.

1. Coteaz is ALWAYS worth it. For what he brings to the table at a mere 100 points he can't even begin to compare to any other HQ in the game. 2 psychic powers from the BRB? Yes please!

2. At this point level, paladins aren't really worth it. A solo paladin will work to distract/tarpit smaller units. You are sinking 1/3 of your points in a unit that won't be doing much. Switch them out for a full strike squad. Which brings to to my next point.

3. You don't need need master crafted anything on the strike squads. The psycannon is a must in any unit that can take it (well most units *cough* DK *cough*)

4. Purgation are worth there points. Sure they are fun to play with, but I never get my points out of them.


Also, they only way to get Lascannons or Plasma Cannons are with henchmen. or a Razorback. Coteaz does unlock henchmen and they are such a flexible unit. They can fulfill any role you want them to do.


Something I like to do with Henchmen are:
-3 Plasma Acolytes
-2 Boltgun Acolytes
-1 Psyker
-Chimera
~117 points.

Went over and redid my army, if you still have suggestions I'll consider it but I'm fairly happy.

Inquisitor Corteaz (100)

GK Terminator Squad (200)

GK Strike Squad (200)
-Psycannon x2 (20)

Henchmen Warband
Servitor x3 (30)
-Plasma Cannon x2 (20)
-Heavy Bolter (free)

Psyker (10)

Acolyte x5 (20)
-Plasma Gun x3 (30)
-Storm bolter x2 (6)
-Power Armour x5 (50)

—Chimera (55)

Total for warband (221)

Total for Army (741)

You need a psycanon in the termi squad, it is great on them (as they re relentless).
To get the necessary points i would take out the power armor on the henchmen. This gives 50pts.
You can then add a psycanon on the termies and psyamo on the GKSS as well as transform the 3rd servitor into a plasma canon one and finally add one naked acolyte for a wound in the acolyte squad.

That sounds fair, now just to see how much it costs...

Ok, got my army sorted for a 750 point game, though since I've spent 726 I was wondering about a few things I can add to my army...
1) what do servo arms do?
2) what do servo skulls do?
3) should I take another psyker?

Ok, right, after I'm done with the 726 points I will have 2 psykers left and a servitor. I have no weapons I can give them other than there standard weapons.
