so in my local GC, theres gonna be a 1500pt 40k tourny with gift vouchers as prizes.
As such i want to make my list as competitive as possible. (i have no autocannon dreads though)

HQ
Castellan Crowe
Librarian, Teleport Homer, (Summoning, Rift, Might of Titan, Shrouding,)

Elite
7 Paladins, Brotherhood banner, 2 Halberds, 2 Psycannons, Hammer, Apothecary

Vindicare Assassin

Techmarine, Psychotrokes, Rad Grenades, Force Weapon

Troops

7 Purifiers, 4 Halberds, Hammer, 2 Psycannons
Rhino/ Warp Stabilisation Field
5 Purifiers, 2 Halberds, Hammer, Psycannon
Rhino/ Warp Stabilisation Field

Heavy Support

Dreadknight, incinerator and greatsword

Any improvements/ criticism ???

Drop the Techmarine, don't pour so many points into one Paladin squad, get more Troops.

Techmarines staying, psychotrokes rule I know that from experience.
What about dropping the dreadknight for another purifiers squad?

I find the apothecary upgrade not worth it unless your running the whole 10 pladins draigowing style.

How about dropping the paladins down to 5 (no apothecary) and then having 3 units of 5 purifiers in rhinos.

So here is the changed list

Thats looking better, really you need about 1 troop unit per 500 points, having two at 1500 is kind of going to be hard in objective style mission, 3 looks much better.

What sort of tactics are you planning on using?

vindicare sits back on a fortified ruin, Techmarine goes with a purifier squad, Paladins with libby take the center, flanked by the purifiers and dreadknight

sounds good, I to have a 1500 point tournie in August, and am thinking about using grey knights. I'm looking to make an army that is not your usual net-list. I'ts good to see someone else use a list that is not the norm, I guess the good thing about gk is that you can pick any units and still be somewhat competitive.

if you want to see a different but harsh grey knight list look at mine
dreadnought spam

So you're walking the DK and the paladins? Or is the DK in reserve coming in on top of the librarian's homer?

generally yes the paladins and DK will be walking, but against certain army builds i would use reserve tactics
