My suggestion is break out seom pre-heresy Jetbikes... like Samael rides

Meh-Not looking to make them into Biker SM's. Looking at actual mounted on horse moves 6" and assaults/charges 12" good ol mounted nights. A Stormshield carring Psy-Lance toting assault terminator on the back of a Cyborg Steed. Make the unit somewhere between 3-6 strong. They just need a special option for deployment.

Was asking how such a unit could be tweaked in order to fit in with the rest of the GK style deployment(Fast Attack?). Also wondering how far the Medieval theme could be carried and what types of models/units they'd like to see. I can see the jetbikes fitting in the army as is but not if they up the Medieval look.

Now, Jetbike Inquisitors and retinue would be gnarly.

To not suck.

They are a peculiar forge world. Slightly heavier gravity, colder than usual, and a strange mix of Ad Mech council and Imperial Governors. Something to do with a Lady Saint *shrug*. Still a forge world, which is a far cry from a 'plains nation' that utilises a lot of Cavalry. That said, so is Krieg.

BTW,Do you have any ideas concerning the GK cavalry I proposed?

You're never going to get a termie on that thing. Never. Do you get Termies in bikes? No. So An SM Termie isn't going to sit atop a cyborg horse.

Also, do you like the idea of crossbows firing Psybolts?

Not bad. But sill seems more like Inquisition tech than a Grey Knight weapon. I swear Witch Hunters had something like that anyway.

The WH have a combi-weapon bolter-stake crossbow as well as the powerstake which is a powerweapon that wounds more effectivly on a psyker.

How about Artificer Armor, Storm Shields and Psy-lances for the Cavalry?

Also looking for Idea on a GK dreadnought that would fit a medieval theme. Thought about a Golem Type that would be a Human/SM but 3x the size or to do smething like BobPandas Wolf Dreadnought in this thread:http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/220519.page
Its about mid page.

Make it a warhorse Dread?

well the venerable dread model has the grill face plate style covering combine that with like cloth banners and stuff hanging from it and you might be able to get a rather nice looking more medival looking dread. Another thought is instead of having it have a powerfist, close the fist about a sword so it hits with a sword but rolls as if hitting for the first. Further just for looks put a shield on the other arm.

On the Artificer armor part well those are expensive and rare pieces of armor. I dont think a fast attack unit would have it even if they were the GK.
