I'm getting back into the game and have heard armour of contempt is making terminators decent so I wanted to crack my old terminators out

Battalion detachment
Brotherhood is prescient bretheren
HQ
Chaplain with gate of infinity, a noble death and cuiriss of sacrifice. Spent a CP to give him the divination warlord trait
Kaldor draigo is my warlord, vortex of doom warp shaping and sanctuary

Troops
3 squads of 5 terminators with swords two have a psilencer one has a psycannon

Elites
Apothecary with empiric amplification
10 man paladin squad with hammers. Hammerhead and armoured resilience
Two 3 man servitor squads with plasma cannons for sitting on backfield objectives and performing actions plus chaff to delay deploying bigger units

Heavy
2 dreadknights with gatling psilencer and heavy psycannon


The plan is to keep the Chaplain and apothecary with draigo and the paladins and make a very tanky unkillable death ball. Considering taking the litany that makes them immune to psychic stuff for a turn to prevent mortal wound bombs on the paladins. Not trying to be the most competitive in the world, I like terminators and wanted to make an army of almost all Terminator models.
Any tips? Would dreadnoughts be better at the fire support role than the dreadknights? Any upgrades that are wasted

Okay so i'm also new to Grey Knights but i've studied a lot of games and had a bunch of advice thrown at me and im gonna give it too you.

Dreadnoughts are terrible or at least not as good as Dreadknights(which you want 2-3 of). Also, do not make Draigo your warlord you don't get much benefit from it and his Warlord Trait he is forced to grab (Daemon Slayer) is not so great. What you want to do is make a Grand Master in NDK armor your Warlord and give him both heavy weapons and a sword or hammer. This is a far heartier warlord and allows ffor more control.

I'm also attempting to run a 10 man Squad of Paladins to either Warp Jump them up the board or to make them a fun death ball. Paladins are just BETTER terminators for GK and atm their not worth taking. BUT since their in the elite slot i'd reccomend going Vanguard and building a paladin army - the problem you're going to run into is that the model count is REALLY REALLY low and you're highly susceptible to high psychic army as their quantity can outperform you.
