Hello dakkadakka.
So, I lurked for some time and I registered mainly for two topics.

First, I would like to say that I started getting interested in Warhammer 40k lore a few months ago and I wanted to start assembling and painting miniatures. I am looking more into the hobby side of things, because I don't think anyone in my area knows about wargaming.
My favourite chapters are Grey Knights, Legion of the Damned, Blood Ravens, maybe Salamanders and Alpha Legion. I also like Necrons, but my absolute favourite army are Grey Knights.

A few days ago, I got a box of Grey Knight Termies, who are my favourite units in the game probably and I like how they ended up (will post pictures later) and I am thinking of continuing collecting some miniatures in the future, but I want them to have some consistency as an army (wouldn't want buying 10 boxes of Termies only), in case I ever end up playing a game with them (as I said, that would be very rare, which means I don't want to buy a codex right now, but I will later, for its fluff).
So, can you help me with this list I thought of:

Battalion detachment (around 1500 points if I had to guess):

HQs
Librarian in Terminator armor (I know this guy is supposed to be really good and I would give him a Warding stave I kept from the Termie box)
Kaldor Draigo / Brother Captain Stern (this is where I need help choosing)

Troops
5 man squad Termies with 3 Halberds, 1 Daemonhammer, 1 pair of Falchions (was going to make full halberd, but I decided to add some other weapon instead) and 1 Psycannon
5 man Strike Squad (either Swords or Falchions and I haven't decided about heavy weapons)
5 man Strike Squad (either Swords or Falchions and I haven't decided about heavy weapons)

Elites
5 man Purifier squad (I know they might be worse in 8th edition, but I really want them in my army and I know they benefit from Brother Captains) (haven't decided again on how to equip them, but they will most likely have 2 heavy incinerators)
1 Venerable Dreadnought (again, I want this model in an army, but I haven't decided on equipment and it can be omitted)

Heavy support
1 Dreadknight (he will have teleporter, sword and a heavy weapon that I haven't thought of yet)

Transport
Rhino / Razorback (whatever helps more with the Purifiers I guess, since they might be better to do "drive by"s)

Now is this army ok and can you help me with the loadouts of the Strike Squad and the Purifiers? Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka, you may have better luck posting this in the army lists sub forum.

Ah ok, thanks!

I was starting to wonder if I should post it elsewhere, but I thought that I had to have a more complete idea to post in that category (like, I haven't even decided yet on some units' loadouts, so the points can be a bit random).
Anyways, I will post it there in a few moments.
