Yo! Recently got back into my GKs. Not used them in 6th so would appreciate some tips on my initial list draft. I am purely a novice & casual player so im not too worried about it being highly competitive, just as long as it doesn't totally suck!

HQ
Coteaz

Elite
Vindicare Assassin
3 X Paladins - Apothecary, Psybolt Ammo

Troop
5 x GKT - Psycannon, Psybolt Ammo
5 x GKT - Psycannon, Psybolt Ammo
5 x GKT - Psycannon, Psybolt Ammo

Heavy Support
Nemesis Dreadknight - Teleporter, Greatsword, Heavy Incinerator

1500/1500

I've taken Coteaz mainly because everywhere I've read about GK tactics pretty much said take him or you are an idiot, however I was tossing up between him and trying to fit in a Grand Master somehow. Opted for GKT over Strike squads for the extra durability when foot-slogging. The Paladins are Coteaz's babysitters. The dreadknight is basically a scary distraction while the termies get into dakka position. Assassin thrown in to try and deal with any serious armour but can double up to pop key infantry targets if needed.

Any feedback appreciated, including any thoughts on melee weapon loadout as ive just stuck with force swords all round for now. Maybe throw in the odd hammer or two? Also I know Coteaz makes henchmen troop but I would prefer it to remain GK pure as possible.

Thanks!

If you are not taking a henchmen army and are looking for a casual list don't take Coteaz.

Also save 20 points by combining two 5 man terminator squads and then combat squad split them so you only have to buy 1 psybolt ammo and can still have (3) 5 man units.

If you wanted to do like a heavy terminator list you could run Draigo and paladins. It's not super competitive anymore but certainly cool.

Thanks for the tip about point saving with the troops.

I was under the impression that Coteaz is good even if you don't take advantage of the troop henchmen, is this incorrect? Only reason I ask is I will have to do some serious reworking to fit in a proper GK HQ like a grand master.

Thanks

He is good. He mainly shines with the henchmen being troops but he also gives his unit a much better version of interceptor and is a lvl 2 div caster. But you had mentioned you wanted pure GK.

Solo Dreadknights are nothing great... running them in pairs however is a scary sight. Also Coteaz in this list is kinda meh in my opinion he doesn't really fit.

A regular Grand Master would be awesome especially if you can fit in another DK and make them scoring

This is the new hot GK list:

Imperial Knight Paladin
Imperial Knight Paladin
Imperial Knight Paladin
Imperial Knight Paladin
Imperial Knight Paladin
Imperial Knight Paladin

Total 2250

Haha no Draigo walker for those paladins?

Imperial Knight Paladin (10 Draigos embarked within)
Imperial Knight Paladin
Imperial Knight Paladin
Imperial Knight Paladin
Imperial Knight Paladin
Imperial Knight Paladin

Fixed.

Also 4 Imperial knights would be exactly 1500.

Thanks for the info chaps, I shall go back to the drawing board.

Edit 2: Replaced 2 lists with 1.

Got a new edited list, feeling a bit better about this one, please let me know what you think.

HQ
- Grand Master (Master Crafted Hammer, Psybolt ammo, Blind nades)
- Coteaz

Elite
- Vindicare Assassin
- Solodin (Halberd)
- Solodin (Halberd)

Troop
- 10 x Strike squad (2 x Psycannon, psybolt)
- 10 x Strike squad (2 x Psycannon, psybolt)

Heavy
- Nemesis Dreadknight (Heavy Incinerator, Teleporter)
- Nemesis Dreadknight (Heavy Incinerator, Teleporter)

1500/1500

The idea is that the HQs will hang out with the strike squads as they slowly move into firing range. The dreadknights will port forward to cause havoc. The solodins will stay in reserve and support the attack with the help of Psychic Communion. The assassin is there to blunt armor or other high priority targets.

Any feedback appreciated. Thanks in advance.
