HQ
Castellan Crowe- 150
Grand Master- 175
Elites
VIndicare Assassin- 145
Troops
Purifiers- 140
2 psycannons
Purifiers-140

Fast Attack
Storm Raven-205
TL MM, TL LC
Heavy
Dreadknight- 260
sword, incenerater, teleporter
Dreadknight- 260
sword, incenerater, teleporter
this leaves me with 25 points left over. My plan is to sit back with my purifiers to hold objectives and lay down some decent firepower. the Dreadknights to teleport and do what they do best. The grand master is there to make my two dreadknights scoring units. Crowe will go in the storm raven to eventually assualt out of it. The reason for crowe is simply becasue i love the model and there is an element of using what I like mixed with competitivness, i dont mind it lets me get the extra psycannons into my purifiers. I could always drop the grand master and just get another squad of purifiers. Let me know what you guys think and anything is appreciated thanks

Two HQs at this point level is a bit much. It appears that the Purifiers have to foot slog. Helldrakes will have a field day.

I dont know too much about grey knights but I do know that I as a Thousand Sons general would be able to kill all of your troop choices very, very easily. I hope you dont plan on playing objective games with this list.

I know its not many troops, but you hide the two squads close back i cover at least to help a bit. Storm raven can help with helldrakes a bit and the gm gives the ability to make both the dreadknights count as scoring i appreciate the feed back tho

If you have 25 points left, you could take grandmaster Mordrak, instead of an ordinary grandmaster, since he's a bit better and even if you don't want ghst knights, he has some awesome special rules.
A tiny problem is that with two HQs you have fairly few troops (and miniatures (I had more on a 1000p list)) on the field which can be quite difficult to handle. You could drop Crowe (who isn't that good except for making Purifiers troops) and fill your troop slot with strike squads (give them a few halberds and psybolt ammo and they can wipe away quite many enemy models). Also, a stormraven and two dreadknights is probably a bit much for a 1500p list (but if that is what you really want to have in the list, by all means, hang on to it).

If you really want to hang on to Crowe, there are some nice, cheap lists where you can combine him with Coteaz.

I don't think Crowe sucks in terms of what you use him for, he's okay in close combat and for the purifiers, my only gripe with him is that he needs his own transport as opposed to riding along with his men. He's good in anti-Horde, so just keep him in the fray, the problem with an army that's all GKs is that all you have are expensive elite close-combat soldiers that you really don't want to see die, you also need cannon fodder and guns, that's where the Inquisition comes in. Take Coteaz and his unlimited number of 4-5 point warrior acolytes (basically IG stormtroopers that work for the Inquisition) and Presto! Your GK purifiers won't be the ones dying, your Inquisition Warband will be eating most of their fire like a nice sponge. Your Purifiers can take on objectives, sneak up and assault the enemy or whatever you want aslong as you have a large number of cannon fodder acolytes there to die for you...

I would just take as my troop choices 2 squads of ten gks and a squad of five termmies and put those five in the storaven. And give your groups of ten the standard 2 pay cannons and psybolt ammo.
