Hi Guys

I have a difficult proposition, I have a friend who plays GK and I play Daemons normally fun against each other but we have decided to join forces and enter a 2v2 tourney and wanted to come up with some lore ideas as they are the most anti-fluff armies to be combining.

So far I've just thought of something along the lines that the GK captured some daemons to try interrogate/torture other daemons true names from them and to discover how they manifest their psychic powers, enhancing their own warp knowledge. They then realise with some psyker voodoo they were able to mindwipe the daemons making them somewhat servitor like. This lead to the Grey Knights not needing to learn how to use the abilities themselves and possibly taint their minds with dark warp powers but still gain an advantage using the daemons powers and hatred against the other chaos gods to their advantage with the intention of keeping some alive to kill hundreds more. my army consists of Slaanesh and Nurgle who hate Khorne and Tzeench respectively trying to give away the hated factions secrets and have them all killed as well as containing be'lakor who would be trying to gain access to Grey Knight powers and turn himself into a new Chaos god

I was just wondering if anyone had ever made their own stuff up about something similar or has new ideas to feed my current string of lore.

Thanks

It's not gray Knights, it's thousand sons in disguise.
Done.

It's Alpha Legion disguised as Thousand Sons disguised as Grey Knights.

I play both these factions and want to ally them as well but have not yet because of fluff

though maybe I could pull off grey Knights enslaved some daemons to fight for them...........

I think you're pretty much right when you say that it's one of the most unfluffy combos out there. The Grey Knights and the daemons are just made to kill each other. The mere presence of grey knights upsets daemons.

One thing that I did think of though is a story in the grey knight codex where the grey knights ended up on a planet with both daemons and tyranids present. The daemons and the tyranids ended up fighting each other. Your 'alliance' would be fluffy in the sense that grey knights should only really turn up when daemons are present. Perhaps the daemon force wants to acquire something or possess someone in the enemy force, and are content to try and avoid the grey knights until they have it. The grey knights on the other hand, need to stop the daemons from doing this, and have deduced that slaughtering the other forces will give more success than hunting the daemons, who they can finish off later.

Yeah, it's pretty shakey, but it's a pretty difficult thing to justify!

While it is a. It shaky it is about the best reason you could get to justify it.

I really like Tarvitz reasoning, I know its not very fluffy but IMO id rather make some fluff up so I can play with my buddy and have a good time than just not play because the story doesn't match up, I have a small force of DA but don't like playing with them not nearly as fun as the Daemons.

If you throw in an Inquisitor, you can make it a radical Inquisitor using his army of Daemons alongside the Grey Knights.

Grey Knights controlling the Daemons by using their true names?

Ix'thnl'napop go kill that Ork

nnnnhhhhhhhh must resist (kills ork)... curse you Grey Knight!

lol

I thought my Heresy detector went off.





Also, fluff aside, One Eye Open will bugger you both at key points.

Be sure to tell your friend to take the Bone Shard of Solor. It'll give you a 2+ Invulnerable Save while within 12" of a Demon of Khorne. Put it on a Librarian, have him take Divination and you can have a 2+ re-rollable Invulnerable save.

That's good times.

There not grey knights there just dressed that way 1 to fool any one they need to due to 2, that being agents of chaos have recently killed a group of grey knight and found their gear, and ship nicer then their own

Why do you need fluff? "He's my friend. We want to team up and he has demons I have grey Knights"

That's it. If anyone gives you gak about it tell them to feth off. You can play whatever you want, so can your friend. And if there is a doubles tournament and you can pick your teammate then have at it and disregard anyone who gives you a hard time.

If you need a "fluffy reason"
Grey Knights often imprison or trap Deamons they can't destroy, and sometimes bind them in weapons. (Crowes sword)
This is a more radical company that have gained control of a small pack of daemons that they are now unleashing on the enemy.
