Hi all, first post

I'm about to play the final match of a friendly tournament that has been ongoing for the last year+ between my friends and I. This game is for all the marbles (bragging rights).

I know I will be facing a Demon army. He will be bringing Be'lakor, a large unit of hounds, a Soul Grinder, Skull-taker, probably a demon prince and he likes to spawn a Bloodthirster using tithe points or whatever. There will also be an assortment of other daemons and he likes to summon groups as well.

Knowing this, of course I will be bringing my Grey Knights for an Epic clash of mortal enemies (and including an allied Eldar detachment for almost guaranteed turn 1 deep strike goodness).

So here is my List:

Rights of Teleportation - 2000pts

Nemesis Strike Squad

HQ:

Grand Master (235pts)

Pyscannon, The Soul Glaive, Teleport homer

Librarian (160pts)

ML3, Domina Liber Daemonica, Nemesis Warding Stave

Elites:

Paladin Squad x10 (714pts)

Combat Squad 1:

Paladin - SB, dual falchions

Paladin - SB, Halberd

Paladin - SB, Halberd

Paladin - SB, Hammer

Paladin - SB, Hammer

Combat Squad 2:

Apothecary - Nemesis Warding Stave

Paladin - Brotherhood Banner, Pyscannon

Paladin - Halberd, Pyscannon

Paladin - Halberd, Pyscannon

Paladin - Halberd, Pyscannon

Troops:

Terminator Squad x5 (205pts)

Justicar - SB, dual falchions

Terminator - SB, Halberd

Terminator - SB, Halberd

Terminator - SB, Hammer

Terminator - Halberd, Psycannon

Heavy Support:

Nemesis Dreadknight (215pts) - Heavy Incinerator, Gatling Psilencer, Hammer, Personal Teleporter

Lord of War: (245pts)

Supreme Grandmaster Kaldor Draigo himself

Allied Detachment: Eldar

HQ:

Autarch (85pts) - Skyrunner

Troops: (81pts)

Windriders x3 - Scatter Laser

Heavy Support: (60pts)

War Walker - Scatter Laser


I know I have a lot of points invested in the HQs and Paladins, but I am going for somewhat of a Narrative build. I envision a small elite army of Grey Knights heavily outnumbered by a tide of Daemons. I'll be starting the Grand Master on the table all by himself (ideally behind some LoS blocking cover) and then deep-striking his battle-brothers in around him for support on turn 1 (hoping to get most/all on the table with the Autarchs reserve roll bonus). The Grand Master will join the Pyscannon Squad to put out 20 Str 7 shots a turn and hopefully obliterating any Daemon squad they target (yay preferred enemy!). Draigo will join the other Paladin squad for some CC goodness. Placement of the Libby depends on the powers he and the Grand Master roll. Ideally, he'll join the Grand Master (Forewarning 4+ invuln on squad) and cast Sanctuary (+1 invuln) to give that pally squad a 3+ invuln to help offset any Str 8+, AP2 weaponry.

Hoping the Dreadknight can put some hurt on his Hound squad before Be'lakor grants them Invis and he swamps a unit.

Any thoughts or comments? Not needing a tournament list, but open to suggestions (I've already done a ton of tweaking). Additional available units to me for the GK are a Storm Raven, 10 power armor units (can be purifiers, interceptors, etc) Dreadnought with 2x autocannons, Rhino, and 4 additional Terminator models.

Thanks for looking, hoping to have a Legendary battle and come out on top so I can hold bragging rights for the next year
