Pretty simple list, Scions are a CP battery and will cap objectives in the backfiled, Knights will provide long range anti-armor fire support and Grey Knights Interceptors will alpha strike in 5 man squads together with the GMDK. Two CPs will be used at the start of the game to give my Crusader the 4++ inv save warlord trait and Endless fury which will stack really well with the Vulker Stratagem imo.

I like the direction of this list! I wonder if you got to field it, If you did, how did it perform?

Fielded it against Necrons and Tau this weekend.

Against Necrons it did wonders. It was a footslogging infantry list and all the knights firepower delete the Necrons blobs easily . Grey Knight infantry sadly underperformed in close combat but then my opponent was full of Lychguard

Against Tau I went first, first turn was alright, I killed a Riptide and a couple of infantry squads with it but then his Commanders wrecked my Helverins in a Turn and 2 turns of Hammederhead+Longstrike killed my big Knight. Also in the 2nd turn my knight did nothing thanks to the -1 to hit Tau Stratagem.

The rest was the usual happening of when GK fight Tau, 70% of my infantry died in overwatch and I had no big things to deal with the hammerheads after my Knights died, so it was losing battle with me trying to keep my units alive and score occasional points. It went to the 6 tun and I think the score was something ridiculous like 13-24 (maelstorm of war)

I got to try out a similar army recently, I very much agree with you that the grey knights do not pack the necessary punch or staying power to warrant their cost.

Those tempestus, really carry the game when used at half range, with orders, and with their doctrine. I used two 10 person squads with 2 plasmas.

I will continue to tweak this list
