Am I the only one who likes the way the standard dreadnoughts look? I think they look awesome!

Pics originally from Heresy Online

just figured I'd post them further up the thread so dakka won't have to trawl back to take a look.
that, and WTF is this thing meant to fight?!
PAGK ->Lesser daemons
TAGK ->average daemons (like bloodcrushers)
brother-captain ->greater daemons
grand master -> daemon lords
TAGK the size of a bloody trygon -> ?!

Just like every other Tyranid MC that came out after 4th edition...except none of them got invul saves.

**nevertellmetheodds**

the stormraven looks ok in real life (better than in photos), i have seen the one GW used for the promo shots and its ok. I think the new gray knight dreads look great!

**Jadenim**

Have to say I quite like the look of the Dreadknight (at least what we can see of it...) although I agree that the static pose isn't showing at it's best.

I hope there's a decent amount of posability in the model, it really bugs me the amount of time I have to spend hacking up my Tau battlesuits to get them into a half-way dynamic pose.

Also, I'm just reading Mechanicum and that talks about Knight titans being about 9m tall. Given that this thing appears to be three times the height of a terminator that's surely in the right ballpark?

you're not american. not G-R-A-Y, it's G-R-E-Y.
Yes I am a grammar nazi.

Say this letter: 'A'

Are they 'Gree Knights'? 'Greh Knights'? No? Hmmmmm...

U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

Yes, I am a phoenetic freedom fighter.

Because them he'd be a Warcaster, and you'd be playing Warmachine.

They've already done that. One of the TS Captains in the Thousand Sons Horus Heresy novel controlled armed robots with hs mind . . . . . .

There's a reason it's called heresy!

**Weiss**

So does anyone know if Grey Knights are getting deddicated transports? I know in the old codex they didnt have em..

**Saintspirit**

I'm on your side, shrike, as the word fascist I am.

I am quite enthusiastic about this, mainly since I once started daemonhunters but never carried on, because of the expensive models and also (IMO) quite boring codex.
But this might make me start it over. From what I can see I like the dreadknight, though I agree it is positioned very dull. I will probably buy it even if I don't start GK and convert it into a Defiler.

I would guess that Rhinos and Landraiders are game since there is one of each in that sneak peak picture.

**Popsicle**

*Sees Dreadnknight* Really?

That is all.

**Pyriel-**

What is the rumored range going to be on psycannons?
If its 24´then mech will still pretty much own GK armies.

**Slackermagee**

Oh would you look at that, its a Penitent Eng... I mean Dread knight. Yes, totally a Dreadknight. And its 11/11/10, open topped... wait, no, I mean its an MC. Yeah, MC.

The early peaks at this codex are not promising. That Ward is helming the project, well, that just poisons what hope I had left.

some kind of pimped-out terminators/grand master retinue
SC/hero mini
new plastic TAGK's

retinue consisting of 2 TAGK & IC/SC
LR redeemer

**Goddard**

I guess this would be the result of that Incoming, Grey Knights email?

I can't say I've seen many official Grey Knight vehicles; the only ones I can remember is a lone Grey Knight Dreadnought and just the sides of a GK Land Raider in the current codex, but those seem to be the same blueish grey metallic as the Storm Raven. Have any other pictures?

That could be the rumored Paladins in the front center as well.

**shrike**

they're the pimped-out terminators I was on about.

Ha,ha,ha. We're putting something down by comparing it with something feminine. Ha,ha,ha,ha. Because feminine things are normally associated with women. Ha,ha,ha. Every REAL MAN knows that women aren't really real people not in the way men are. Ha,ha,ha. That's why we should avoid and belittle feminine things whenever possible. Ha,ha,ha.It also why they're such a good way to mock and discredit something we're not fond of. HA-HA!

It's so.... funny....

**sourclams**

That actually doesn't look feminine, it looks tranny. That kinda over-the-top hyperfeminized stereotypical drag queen sort of look.

**VoidAngel**

Uh...Chongara..I didn't get that at all out of it. I think he was saying that it was gay. You know, like a man that wears pink frilly things like a woman might, but is still obviously...you know...male.

Set phasers for Midol...

So you have asked, so you shall receive. I can't guarantee that all of this is super correct, as I don't have it in front of me right now, but I will say:

Nemesis Weapons, as far as I know are Force Weapons. HOWEVER, because of how Brotherhood of Psykers works (A unit casts a psychic power as a singular entity) I believe this means that only one weapon can become a Force Weapon per turn (If you so choose to use it over Hammerhands), and the rest are power weapons. Still, nothing to sneeze at.

-Nemesis Halberd: +1 Initiative
-Nemesis Daemonhammer: +1 Strength
-Nemesis Falchions: Force Lightning Claws
-Nemesis Warding Stave: Power weapon that conveys a 2++ Invulnerable save. (I know. Madness.) They're 25-20 points per depending on the squad.
-Daemonhammer - This entry confuses me. There's both a Nemesis Daemonhammer and a regular Daemonhammer, but as far as I know, this one is a Thunderhammer with Daemonbane.

Psyk-Out grenades reduce morale of the unit they attack, I believe, but that one is the one i'm the most unsure on.

Continue!

Of course, take the with usual required salt.

**Lord Scythican**

Wow, your name is spot on Redemption. You saved the thread!

**Soladrin**

2++ .... No?

**ColdSadHungry**

Looking at the squad on the right, the second guy in seems to have power armour - at least he seems to have a backpack like a regular marine.

Any ideas what he could be? I can't think myself - was thinking a purifier but then why are his squad buddies in terminator armour? Unless it's a kind of retinue and the bald guy is an inquisitor?

The picture's definitely got me hyped for the GK release anyway

**pretre**

Nice to see that the 'hunter codexes get to keep their 2++. lol
