Hero, swarmy is 280 points, lacks EW and has a 3+ (4++ in CC)

A basic GK unit will kill him on average of 1/4 of the time with instant death from a FW.
He is also a psyker, so he really doesent have much luck as everything in a GK list is geared towards killing him.

We're discussing the points don't matter game and how to get past those three paladin deathsquad bricks.

**Grey Templar**

3 Paladin squads?

What are you playing at? 3k?

Yes, I know I'm crazy, but I know he's going to shell out Crowe, three maxed out purifier squads, three psybolter razorbacks, Draigo and three paladin deathsquads, three venerable psyfledreads, three psyfledreads, and three stormchickens. To give me something of an edge he's decided to let me tailor to some extent, so what should I bring to bear against this formadible looking list? Remember, points are no object.

No points limit, must adhere to FOC. Like the post says.

**Grey Templar**

Thats an incredibly dumb idea. Why don't you just let me run 6 squads of 30 Death Company with dual Thunderhammers and Jump Packs? 3000 points each

**Kain**

I don't know why I agreed to it, but one way or the other, it's going to be a circus of hilarity.

Not all games have to be balanced to have fun :-) this could easily be a fun beer and 40k day. Hell, I'd go just to watch :-)

**Kain**

It is a beer and 40k game. We're holding off on actual apocalypse games until the Grey Knights get some more Forge World loving.

Technically, be afraid of both of them, but for different reasons.

Paladins will be hard to get off of the table with their would allocation. Consider hitting them with something S8 or higher.

Purifiers will mulch large squads of things, but anything left will kill them like any other space marine.

This actually does sound like a fun idea for a BFG(big fun game)

GW did release a few Appoc formations for GKs a while back in WD.

Which Issue? This guy is one of those neckbeards who have been collecting daemonhunters since they were kids in 3rd edition and a long time friend of mine, so I like to help him out.

**Grey Templar**

Sadly, i don't know myself. I think it may have been last October or November's issue. I didn't hear about it till way after the fact and I couldn't find a copy.

**Kain**

Thanks for that information though, sometimes just that much information can help for those versed in the esoteric art of "google-fu."

**rigeld2**

Looks like WD 383/384

**Grey Templar**

I just wish GW would put up the formation in their Appoc Datasheets they have for download.

Of course that would be too easy.

**Kain**

Alright I'll tell him about it and see if we can go for an all out apocalypse game. Should be a barrel full of laughs.
