I've got myself a couple models, specifically the AM start collecting, and a box of grey knight terminators, which is enough to field a small 500 point force. This is what i put together:


++ Patrol Detachment (Imperium - Grey Knights) [10 PL, 220pts] ++

+ Elites +

Paladin Squad [10 PL, 220pts]
. 3x Paladin (Falchions): 3x Storm Bolter
. Paragon: Nemesis Force Halberd, Storm Bolter

++ Patrol Detachment (Imperium - Astra Militarum) [16 PL, 280pts] ++

+ HQ +

Tank Commander [13 PL, 213pts]: Heavy Bolter, Heavy Bolters
. Command Battle Tank: Battle Cannon

+ Troops +

Infantry Squad [3 PL, 67pts]
. 6x Guardsman
. Guardsman W/ Special Weapon: Plasma gun
. Heavy Weapon Team: Lascannon
. Sergeant: Chainsword, Laspistol

++ Total: [26 PL, 500pts] ++

I want then build on that and eventually get up to a 2000 point list. This is the current plan for the list, it is a brigade detatchment, but it's set up so it can be split into a GK outrider, along with a pair of AM battalions depending on what the benefits of single army detatchments are in the codexes.

Any suggestions for improving the eventual plan, or steps in between/priority models would be appreciated!

Heavy Weapons are so cheap! I had no idea!

Here's another idea, it's fire support from AM for the frontline charge with GK.



total 1997

Harker and two Commanders give all the Heavy Teams get to reroll hits of 1 (Harker bubble) and the Commanders get to give four units reroll wounds of 1.

That seems like a pretty powerful list! How would you deploy the GK portion of it if you ran it?

My only concern ilwith the heavy weapon teams is that when giving them las or ML they become very expensive and very fragile. Mortars can hide, and heavy bolters are cheap enough i dont think they would be focused, but i feel like las and ML may do better hiding in infantry squads. I don't know though, i have very little table top experience.

Also, i just figured out i messed up one of the units in battle scribe in the initial list, so it has been edited

You aren't taking advantage of your troops being held in reserve.

You could save a lot of points by turning those interceptors into strike squads that just deep strike. One of the huge advantages of Grey Knights is that you can deep strike with their troops without any extra equipment (although, you already pay 19+2ppm).

Another option would be to take a purgation squad too, since you have gate of infinity access.

Switched to strike squads, made it into three battalions, and tinkered around with the distibution of special and heavy weapons. Included some sniper command squads to extend order range and give some anti character reach. Changed the ancient to a brotherhood champion, not sure i had enough melee gk to justify the banner. Here's the new idea:
