Thoughts?

Having an apothecary on 3 pallidins is SUPER expensive. I know you plan on sticking the Grand Master there, but still...Not sure. The Dreadknights give CSM headaches for weeks, but you don't seem to have an answer to Helldrakes beyond mass snapfiring Psycannons? Most of which will only fire 2 shots since they would have to disembark?

I'm mainly unsure about the sword on the Grand Master. Should it be something else or is a sword just fine? I can use the psybolt HBs to try and take out any Heldrakes.

You need 5 Paladins before you can take any psycannons

I thought psy bolt hb are s6 so you only got a 1/36 chance.

Okay then, any ideas on what units to add?

Real anti air or storm ravens or talons.

I didn't notice on my first read-through, but you have Nemesis Daemonhammers on your Dreadknights.
Are you aware that your Dreadknights already come equipped with Nemesis Doomfists, which are just Daemonhammers without concussive? You're paying 20 points between your two Dreadknights for negligible benefit (almost everything you hit is either going to be killed right away, or kill you anyways, so making them I1 is pointless)

You can drop the apothecary upgrade, daemonhammers on the knights, and the master-crafted on the Grand Master.
From there you have 100pts, so you can add a 5th Paladin to the unit, and a second psycannon for 75, and the last 25 can go towards a Greatsword for a knight.

I would also suggest trimming the psybolt ammo off of the 5man unit of purifiers (you're getting 6 S5 shots for 20pts, honestly not worth it), but I'm not sure where to put that 40 points in to... Maybe an assault cannon on a razorback? That could be good (with psybolt ammo, it makes it a psycannon on a Razorback chassis)

The Purifiers don't have psybolts, the Razorbacks do.
I'll drop the Dreadknight Daemonhammers, but the Grand Master's mastercrafted sword should stay, it gives him more killing power. Again, I want my Paladins and Grand Master well protected, so that 5+ FNP is very important!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I'm leaning towards dropping Crowe and the Purifiers and replacing them with Terminators with halberds, daemon hammers and psycannons, to counter any Heldrakes and making them a waste of points.

I used to play GK vs Chaos all the time,
best thing to do, take an all 2+ army,
take all units of terminators.. and the dreadknights
and an HQ
if you have a stormraven that helps
but with an all 2+ army you dont have to worry about the heldrakes

I understand you want the oribital strike but whh not bring bid daddy Draigo instead for 20 points cheaper and make your paladians scoring

My Paladins can already be scoring with the Grand Master. I'm not really a fan of Draigo.

But then you can make your DKs scoring and not have to take Crowe or Purifiers and take Soladins as troops to deep strike and cause trouble or to hide near an objective.
