Hi

I've been wanting to build a GK army for a long time and after seeing the teased Custodes HQ I've wanted to play around with them too. So I decided to combine them into one army. Very Elite, very expensive points wise but I really like the look of the models.
I'm looking to check if this list is legal, not too fussed about viable or fluffy as mostly play with friends but shimmied some things around to get a normal Dreadknight in as my brother i running Mortarion in his DG list.

Imperium - Grey Knights/Adeptus Custodes
1998 Points - 7 CP

Grey Knights - Vanguard Detachment

- Gatling Psilencer

Elites
Paladin Squad (4); 233
- Nemesis Daemon Hammer
- Nemesis Force Halberd
- Storm Bolter
: Gate of Infinity

Paladin Squad (3); 178

Fun list. I would take out the dreadknight heavy. Simply worse than the HQ version.

I would increase the numbers in the paladins and add 2 psilencers to the units. They are solid choices.

If you have an AM psyker with Terrify in your GK list, then you definitely DEFINITELY have to have Purge Soul in there, especially with an Inquisitor as well.

Purge Soul on the GMDK. He's next to an Inquisitor (who can DS), buffing his Ld to 10. The enemy's at -2Ld bc of Terrify. You are definitely going to do some serious damage with that.

I hear you. The extra Dreadknight was for its heavy weapons but I'm guessing a 5 man unit of Paladins (x3) with 2 Psilencers each will mess stuff up just as bad.

I like the smell of your cheese XD

But my Inquisitor-Lord doesn't boost Ld, it has Chaplain Ld rule. But I do like that strategy, honestly didn't think of it.

Hi all, new to the site.

I'm looking to get back into the hobby after many years of absence. I've been putting by grey knight army back together. Would I be correct in the assertion that dreadnoughts can no longer take two twin linked auto cannons?

Apologies for the noob question.

Thanks

Well, elite army have a hard time in this edition. There are scary tanks out there with a high damage output.
For this, I'd mix GK with AM. This gives you decent fire support and much more bodies.

Those custodes could probably do with some transport, footslogger will tend to be hammered by fire in your backfield
