Dakkadakka it's been awhile but I finally bought my 1000pts of GKs and I'm curious on if I should just get the last 500 points or bring allies to fill the gaps of weakness this list may bring. Ok so here is my 1200 points of GKs.


NSF


HQ

ML 3 Librarian with Warding Staff and DLD


Troop

Ten man Terminator Squad all with Swords w/ 2 Hammers and 2 Psycannons


[u]Fast Attack[u]

Stormraven Gunship with TL MM and TL LC


[u]Heavy Support[u]

Two NDK with Personal Teleporter, Sword, Psycannon, and Incenerator


Now Dakkadakka I would love to hear your opinion on the last 500 points for allies or I I should ditch something to open more points for them. My original thought was Blood Angels in DP with flamer hell. As always thank you for any input (doing this on my phone so I'm sorry for any errors)

No advice at all?

lol its kinda hard to get advice some times.. :( try posting in general discusion too. Im still realitivly new but ive looked into laying grey nights and from what ive heard theyre dreadnight is super op.. I would jus tally with greynights so you can run 4 dreadnight and have lots of fun with the trolls lol i was thinig take 2 librarians 2 squads of terrmies and 4 dreadnights ?

I assume the Termies and the Libby will be in the Stormraven?

Will you deep strike the DKs or deploy them turn one?

My concern with starting with so few models is losing the DKs on turn 1 or 2 before they can be really effective.

I'd suggest taking some Strike Squads to take objectives or maybe some cheap allies if you have the option. Otherwise, not a bad start.

You need reserve manipulation, bodies, and anti heavy armor.

Two 5man tac squads w meltas in las razorbacks, and a solid hq on a bike (techmarine is str 8 ap1 servo arm)


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Reserve manipulation / capt Sicarius or the smurf psyker if running ultras.

Ultramarines with tigy scout and cents would fit in and add quite a punch.
Inquisition with warbands filled with some good av plus aegis
W's or Da bike army to make thise NDK even more beefy cause of concussion effect and nice dakka support.

Thank you guys for the advice on the Allies. I'm not too sure about Inquisition but the Ravenwing / White Scar bikes have peaked my interest. I was going to deep strike the termies and leave the Stormraven empty. I'm not a fan of the idea of keeping it out of the game with units in it as well unless it would be a group of purifiers or something

Go white scars over ravenwing - you get alot more utility.

but don't the black knights get some crazy buffs to jink saves?

They do. But white scars bikers are a bit stronger

That makes sense. I refuse to use grav weapons though

Ravenwing Black Knights. They can scout forward 12" then your Grey Knights can deep strike without scattering within 6".

Ravenwing all get to reroll their jink save so turbo boost them for a 2+ rerollable cover then shoot normally after that. I would take the ravenwing over the white scars simply if you are going to use them for teleport homers they are more durable, better shooting with plasma, and WAY better in combat with corvis hammers. take the black knights and a libby on bike

Well Heres what I would do. If you takin a storm raven - put the anti psyker assasin in there. Then you got 330 points for another big ass term squad.
