Hey everyone, I splurged on a new Grey Knights army on an impulse buy. I used to play these guys "back in the day" and missed having nasty Terminators to crush Chaos with.
I'm coming over to the Imperium from Dark Eldar so I'm not very used to having things like power weapons and power armor everywhere.

Currently I own one 5 man squad of Terminators, one 5 man squad of Grey Knights and one Librarian. I am able to make a 500 point list with this but I feel like Grey Knights just aren't suited for 500 point lists.
So I am going to make some purchases to add to my force to make a solid, all-around 750 point list. I also want to avoid cheese at all costs.

Here is what I am planning : http://hq-builder.com/shared/526be56b028dbb1b4490b6c0

Librarian with Quicksilver and Might of Titan and Empyrean Brain Mines 170 pts

Two Grey Knights Strike Squads with one Psycannon and Force Swords, five man units 110 pts each

Grey Knights Terminators with one Psycannon, one five man unit, one thunder hammer and the rest with halberds 225 pts

Dreadnought with two twin linked Autocannons with Psybolt ammo 135 pts


Any comments or suggestions? I am playing against Orks, Chaos Marines or Imperial Guard at any given time. I feel that this will be a decent all-around list.
Should I make the GK strike squad one ten man unit? Should I use the 10 points in Empyrean Brain Mines for some armor for the Dreadnought?

Well, in small pt games you need numbers. I'd start with Corteaz as your HQ. He comes with several nice special rules and in this way can bolster your army.

Coteaz would be nice if he planned on henchmen, sounds like he wants knights but that doesnt mean you cant take him. It sounds like hes using librarian powers to so no real need for coteaz.

I know a little about grey knights. I still have a few that I bought a while back but rarely play them. The best advice I could give you is to take Quicksilver and the Warp Blast ability. It owns slower initiative shooty type armies like Tau. Basically its a flamer template that causes an initiative check...if failed the model is removed from the game regardless of how many wounds. You could potentially remove huge point multi wound models with 1 skill. Just remember if you are using it and their is a squad of cheaper models nearby try to manuever yourself so that you are "aiming" at that squad and the template just so happens to pass through the large target you are trying to remove. You must declare that they are the target of the ability otherwise if you succeed the rest of his squad has nothing to shoot at because you removed their target.

Yes I'm hoping to stick with pure GK. Coteaz is OK but I prefer the Librarian. Coteaz would only save me 50 points and he doesn't have an invlun save.
