Hi I'm thinking of creating a 1500 point grey knight army list. I was wondering if in 6th edition grey knight terminators can be used competively as they were in 5th edition?

What with all the AP2 these days, Termies w/o SS are not as viable as they used to be. However, now that power weapons don't cut down Termies, they might do better in CC.

If you're gonna go Termies, then go all out. Mordrak with a Librarian w/ Teleport Homer, DS other squads onto his position. DreadKnights with Swords and/or Teleporters.
A Land Raider and/or Stormraven to ferry your troops to battle.

You'll certainly have trouble beating some lists (like Suit Tau), but it'll be fun!

I always have Termies in my GK lists, and i love them. Just dont use them as assault termies like those plain-jane space marines. GK termies are shooters, who only get into cc to mop up what they just shot.

Yeah I am worried about the AP2 weapons but love the GK terminators. How do you guys use them? Squeeze as much you can fit in your lists?

I like them in full 10 man squads to make full use of psybolt ammo. However, I'll take them in smaller squads if I have to if I have an Inquisitor with a psycannon to attach to them. I get them on target one of two ways, typically: foot slog or DS. If I walk them up the board, I only do so when I know my opponent will have other things to deal with so they won't be whittled down. If I have a GM in my army and can afford to do Psychic Communion, I will DS them right where I want them and start the shooting party.
