So my question is what is the most effective way to use and equip grey knight purifiers?
How many in a squad?
Armed with?
Walking, rhino, razorback, or something else?
I want to do an all purifiers army so I need some help!

**CaptainGrey**

Psybolt Razorback
2x Psycannon
2x Halberd
1x Hammer

**psychosheep22**

But then you can't fire the psycannons until they disembark

**CaptainGrey**

So? They're 24" range weapons; what were you planning on firing at turn 1?

**psychosheep22**

The enemy

**Andilus Greatsword**

Easy. Move 6". Disembark 6". You are probably now in range of the enemy.

**psychosheep22**

Okay thanks

Nothing will be within 24" range turn 1 clever guy, and if its night fight, being able to go guns-up turn 1 is useless.

Like Andilus said; you use turn 1 to gain ground, then fire at what you can.

Rhino might be better though, turn 1 move forward 12. Then sit in the box and pump out those psycannon shots. As soon as they are out, 5 marines wont last long. Problem is on 6th rhinos are not as survivable, thats why purifiers were so good in 5th but rarely seen anymore.

That's why Razorbacks are better. Neither is surviving that long under focused fire, so you spam them, and the razorbacks can actually contribute decent firepower.

If you move forward 12, everything is snap-shooting anyways.
