Hey all, I've recently come into the possession of a couple LRCs and thought my Grey Knights army would be a nice home for them!

I've seen some pretty cool LRC lists floating around, but decided to borrow from others and then take a whack at it myself. I was hoping to reach-out to the community to let me know how I did:

+ Ordo Malleus Inquisitor [119]
- Frag, Krak, & Psy-Out Grenades; 3x Servo-skulls, Terminator Armour w/ Psycannon & Force Sword

Detachment Total: 1785
===========================================================
Allied DA Detachment:
[HQ]
+ Librarian [155]
- Bike, Auspex, Power Field Generator
- Level 2 Psyker

[Troops]
+ Scout Squad [60]
- 5x Scouts with Sniper Rifles

Detachment Total: 215

Grand Total: 2000 on the dot


The 2x Psycannon purgation squads get into the chimeras and hide behind the LRCs to abuse astral aim. The Death Cultists and Incinerator Purgation Squad gets into the LRCs to counter anything that comes too close. The remaining troops hide in the 3rd LRC or hide in reserves/camp objectives.

Let me know your thoughts! I think it's pretty good but I always learn from posting my lists

Are you taking the chimeras as dedicated transports? If so I thought that only the unit that purchased them can ride in them? Hence the name, dedicated? I'm not 100% sure though, maybe someone else can clear that up?

Well, only the unit that purchased them can start in them.

The idea is that they'll all play musical transports on turn one.

If you want to use Astral Aim, why take chimera over razorbacks with psyamo?
You win 5pts per vehicle, have a bit more firepower, an 11 side AV.

Why take some DA allies? what do they bring you here?

Guy locally has been running something similar.
Codeaz
3 x Hench man x 3
2 x Henchman x 3 , Flm x 3
DCA/Cursaders x 8-10
Tech marine w/ Rad/pysco grenades
LR x 2
LRC
Storm Raven x 2

Nasty, Nasty list

The Chimera has 5x fire points so I can fire all the psycannons out of them. The DA allies are for the 4++ bubble so the LRCs can have a 4++

I do not think that will work, though I haven't read the rules for the DA bubble. I am assuming it only works on friendly models?

Nope—just checked—it says all models friendly and enemy.

Ok for the DA, but you mention that the chimera will be behing the LR and you will use Astral Aim.
Thus if you took the razorbacks it would be the same (no need for fire points)
Unless you want to potentially fire without Astral Aim but that still costs you the first turn to embark

I think you still need to have fire points even with Astral Aim since Astral Aim only lets you fire without LoS it doesn't remove the restrictions about firing from a transport with no fire points at all. I could be wrong, I'm not sure.
