I'm playing CSM with Grey Knights, which list should I use, if any?
And no, don't suggest Coteaz or Draigo, never did like them. And chances are he will field Hellturkey spam.
List 1
Spoiler:
HQ- Grand Master with master-crafted force halberd, psychotroke grenades, rad grenades, orbital strike relay=265
Elites- Purifiers with 2x Nemesis force halberds, Nemesis force falchions and 2x incinerators=129
Troops- Terminator Squad with 2x Nemesis daemonhammers, 2x Nemesis force halberds, Nemesis force sword, psycannon=225
Terminator Squad with 2x Nemesis daemonhammers, 2x Nemesis force halberds, Nemesis force sword, psycannon=225
Fast Attack- Stormraven Gunship with twinlinked multimelta=205
Heavy Support- Purgation Squad with Nemesis force daemonhammer, 4x psycannons=205
Nemesis Dreadnight with personal teleporter and heavy psycannon=245
Breakdown- Grand Master gives Purgation Squad scoring (and Dreadknight/Purifiers). Terminator Squads advance by foot with Grand Master, Purifiers arrive by Stormraven, Dreadknight on foot, Purgation Squad holding objectives.

Heavy Support- Land Raider Redeemer=245
Nemesis Dreadnight with personal teleporter and heavy psycannon=245
Breakdown- Crowe arrives by Stormraven, Terminators teleport in with Crowe, Purifiers embarked on Land Raider, Vindicare snipes out enemy tanks whilst in cover, Dreadknight teleport/footslog.
List 3

Breakdown- Grand Master gives Vindicare scoring, then Paladins/Dreadknight. One Terminator Squad comes in on Stormraven, Paladins and Terminator Squad 2 footslog. Dreadknight footslogs. Vindicare hides in cover and snipes enemy vehicles.
Any C+C welcome, any improvements on tactics/list welcome.
I don't think vindicare's are good enough/tough enough. So for that reason alone I'd go list one. I also think pallies are very over costed, and easily insta killed. Falchions are rubbish and not worth the points, halberds are much better. And a greatsword on the knighT could be useful if you can afford it! The FAQ states you still get +1 attack, still S10 and get all those re-rolls.
I can, however, still see you struggling with hell turkey spam with any of those lists. The more termies the better, their 2+ armour will make the drakes have to work! Either that, or throw in a librarian for prescience. There's a reason why Eldar players love that power!
I can't see any place for Draigo in these list, or in many lists nowadays, but are you dead set on no coteaz? The ability to shoot at hell turkeys the second they arive could be useful!
You sought to cower behind your walls, weakling? Instead, by the will of Khorne, you shall die behind them
Well none are well thought out. Purifiers with incinerators? Terminators with Swords? Dreadknight with no sword and the dreadful Heavy incinerator. So it looks like you like Terminators and probably the Dreadknight. Dreadknights are awesome but need to be used in pairs.
That leaves you 10 points to play with (master crafting here and there). In objective missions nearly everything is scoring (if you roll a 2+ on GS then everything scores). The Helldrakes have literally nothing to do. 4 Psycannons are your ranged AT. Dreadknights are really difficult for Chaos to deal with (only a Blackmace Prince is a threat to them).
