I'm looking to update my Grey Knights, they started out as a terminator heavy army but due to a rise in AP2 weapons it's currently based around Corteaz and a few squads of Henchmen.
But I'm tired of having my astartes warriors relying on humans to do their fighting and want to get back to a pure astartes army.

List 1 – Pure Grey Knight Force
HQ
175 – Grand Master: Nemesis Sword
(This guy is here for 1 reason; to grant the Dreadknights and interceptors scoring or outflank depending on the scenario. Cause a fast moving toughness 6 scoring unit is going to be hard to get off an objective.)

TROOPS
250 - Grey Knight Strike Squad: 10 Knights with Psybolt Ammo, 2 Psycannons, 1 Hammer and 1 Justicar.
245 - Grey Knight Strike Squad: 10 Knights with Psybolt Ammo, 2 Psycannons, 1 Force Halberd and 1 Justicar.
(Had to ditch a hammer to make 1500pts, also not sure if to put the hammer on a Justicar as he often gets singled out in challenge and killed before striking?)

FAST ATTACK
310 – 10 Interceptors: 2 Psycannons, 1 Hammer, Justicar and Psybolt Ammo.
(These guys have served me well in past games and will greatly benefit from becoming scoring or outflanking)

HEAVY SUPPORT
260 – Dreadknight: Personal Teleporter, Great Sword & Heavy Incinerator.
260 – Dreadknight: Personal Teleporter, Great Sword & Heavy Incinerator.
(These guys speak for themselves)

TOTAL PTS: 1500

It's a solid list except 1 major weakness which is no anti-air, but there doesn't seem to be that many flyer heavy armies side necrons and chaos and hopefully enough mass snapfire will bring 1 or 2 down if needed.

List 2 - Grey Knights with Air Support
Main Attachment
HQ
65 – Psychic Inquisitor: Carapace Armour, Brain Mines, Force Sword and Bolt Pistol
(A Cheap HQ to place with a strike squad and grant prescience)

TROOPS
225 – 5 Grey Knight Terminators: 1 Justicar with Halberd, Halberd & Pyscannon, 1 Halberd, 1 Hammer and 1 Sword.
250 - Grey Knight Strike Squad: 10 Knights with Psybolt Ammo, 2 Psycannons, 1 Hammer and 1 Justicar.
250 - Grey Knight Strike Squad: 10 Knights with Psybolt Ammo, 2 Psycannons, 1 Hammer and 1 Justicar.
(Advance and lay down heavy fire)

HEAVY SUPPORT
260 – Dreadknight: Personal Teleporter, Great Sword & Heavy Incinerator.

450 – Allied Astartes Stormwing Formation: Storm Raven with Multi-Melta & Lascannon, 2 Storm Talons with Assault Cannons and Skyhammer Missile Launchers
(My Grey Knights have always struggled with air units and with the 3 aircraft in the air with high strength weapons, it should solve that problem quite well and unleash a lot of firepower to ground units.)

Total 1500pts

So what do you think and which list do you believe will be the most effective?
