I dont consider myself a codex creep last codex i bought was blood angelsand have been sticking with them. With the up and new Grey Knights codex and the few changes they had gotten Ive been really wanting toplay a terminator based army. Grey knights have the best ones imo lower point cost and are decent all comers.

Im looking to start a 750pt army snd im looking for suggestions.

My first thoughts are as followed

hq: librarian ML 3- 135

Trps: 5x termies 1x hammer 1xpsycannon
Trps 5x termies 1x hammer 1x psycannon

Fastattack: stormraven(unsure of loadout)

I get it low model count etc. Not to worried about the model count.
I havent gotten any midels yet say for a left over storm raven and 2x ven dreadnoughts. Any insights for a termie list would be awesome.

Ehh I think if you want to actually play a good terminator army, you should go with Deathwing. Don't like the bone colour scheme and prefer to make them look like GKs? Play them as Guardians of the Covenant.

But for your current list I would recommend at least one additional hammer per squad

Try a Dread Knight. They are really good in the new book. I'd rather a DK loaded out over a raven who has to start in reserves. Esp. at that point total.

So libby, 10x termies and a dread knight with hammer and heavy psycannon?

Pretty much the ML3, Termies x 10 and DK (magnetize the weapons). The psyflman dreads have gone away so the DK kinda dominates the heavy support slot now.

umm...why are you only arming him with 1 heavy weapon?

Not enough points to get another?

NDK with personal teleporter hammer, heavy psycannon and a psilincer is 230pts

The current list set up would be 5 points over.

Unless dropping the hammer and just upgrade 2 heavy weapons.

yeah hammer isnt really that good. walkers with dccws are already S10

For the Dreadknight, I'd honestly go with either the Heavy Psycannon (preference) or Incinerator and then add-on the Sword. Keep in mind that your basic dready ccw's do not have the Force rule, while upgrading to the sword costs only a handful of pts, gives him a Force weapon AND is Master-crafted.
The Heavy Psycannon gives you some mobile ranged anti-tank, while the heavy Incinerator would add more anti-infantry capability alongside the cover ignoring bonus.

For the Termies, you could consider upgrading one squad to Halberds. Coupled alongside the improved Santic version of Hammerhand, you can end up hitting things at S7 - handy for chewing through vehicles in a pinch, and/or dealing with T6+ critters.

Well, in small pt games you need numbers.
I'd keep the Storm Ravens for larger games.

isnt it S4 + 1 for halberd +1 for Hammerhand?

Looks good to me. I'd love to slaughter it mercilessly with my Sisters. Fufufu.
