Typhus, tallyman, surgeon, dg lord equivalent, pox walkers, some plague marines in rhinos and an allied detachment with sorc and spawns.
I was running Voldus, champ, 10, 5, 5 strikers, psylancer devs equivalent in a razorback and landraider crusader.
1250 pts per side.
To be honest, i find gk doing better in games around 750-1500 pts where they get to use all their potential.

If it wasn't for codex armies, I would've voted for Corsairs. Poor things might not see a book for a long time.
The second place would be Imperial Knights.

GK have potential when your opponent has no answer for a land raider.

Even more so at 1250pts

Typhus can solo a lr in a couple turns. Luckilly, champ and strikers got to him first.

Right... like he will get there and do enough damage before it matters.

Honestly, I never played GK and still haven't. Were they ever good or is it just 8th edition where they're terrible?

When Matt Ward's Grey Knight Codex (in 5e) replaced the Daemonhunters codex, they were absurdly good. Termies were amazing, they were one of two armies with the Stormraven, Draigo made enemies of anyone you played against, AND they had Psyflemen. My 3x Psyflemen were a staple in all my lists--4 shots rerolling hits, Str 8, AP4 means that I'd insta-gib nearly anything, INCLUDING Necron Wraiths (who were the bane of my battlefields back then).

yes, but he moves 4". You have to gate the LR in front of him.
