Hi all,

just started to work on my new Grey Knights army (holiday, yay). I wonder a bit which sets I can assemble without worrying about magnetising. Can someone give me some advise on this?

I already magnetised a Dreadknight, that was not too hard. Also the Land Raider does not need any magnets. The normal PAGK need heavy magnetising for their weapons and the option to turn them into Interceptors.

How about the others? Paladins? Terminators? Purifiers?

Assume I have at least one of each boxed set except Dreadnoughts and Stormravens.

Thanks!

If you're dedicated enough to magnetize the PAGK kit (the ten-man PAGK kit is two of the Purifiers kit in the same box) then magnetizing the Terminator kit may be worthwhile.

I guess I will do that. I also managed to get some metal PAGK and Termis used and those are fixed to their weapons, so I'll definitely magnetize the plastic ones.

Wow, I've discovered something new here. Usually all GK players constantly shout "Monobuild!" but your list clearly isn't a monobuild if you will be changing weapons and stuff. Good on you sir!

Thanks, yes, I indeed hate the netlist monobuilds and use these monocultures in my local group to my advantage wherever I can. If people consider Interceptors and PAGK not to be worth taking they will prepare for Termi and Paladin heavy GK armies, so it might be worth taking exactly what they do not expect.

A few weeks ago I had a lot of fun with someone who did not know how to deal with 30 Eldar Guardians plus 20 Dire Avengers. Mass S6 shooting was total overkill on those and more S4 shots would have helped much more.
