DS to do it? Grey knights aren't THAT great at assault. If you want a firebase they are great, 2 psycannons on a 3 man unit, with shrouding is pretty good actually. PAGKs are good, but 5 man squads with no transports and only storm bolters aren't going to be survivable.

I personally don't see how this list can do well. Weak anti tank, low model count units with no weapons upgrades, limited mobility, all of this makes for an underwhelming army. I do want to know if shrike give grey knights the chapter ability. I would imagine not because of how its worded. When making a list with 5th ed in mind, you need to have an answer for hordes and mech, specifically orks and tank spam. 5th ed cover saves make volume of fire important, but the new vehicle damage chart makes taking anti tank very important (and the combo makes what used to work, not as great). You seem to have hordes under control with 3 pie plates, but you are weak vs tanks, or people who are more mobile than you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/384638.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/384638.page GMT Re:1500 5th eddition space marine with allied Grey knights. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/384823.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/384823.page GMT 1500 5th eddition space marine with allied Grey knights. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/384833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/384833.page GMT 1500 5th eddition space marine with allied Grey knights. CC squads, and imho your vindicators will have a tough time getting to your opponent. The transports would also give the added bonus of having more tanks that your opponent needs to worry about.

Scouts are only really good against MC's and, since you've said that their won't be tyranids coming to eat you, I would suggest that you get rid of those squads, and get your grey knights some fancy weapons.

Also if you gave your dread a twin linked lascannon, then you'd have enough anti tank to be safe from blitzkriegs. The whirlwind is a decent choice, but only if you know you'll have some place good to put it... like behind lots of buildings or something.

And one last thing. How do you expect to use your terminators?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/384911.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/384911.page GMT Re:1500 5th eddition space marine with allied Grey knights. GK arent as good as marines. scouts arent as good as marines. GK terminators are good, but should really have incinerators or psycannon and maybe holocaust.

you dont have enough anti-tank. if someone decides to bring a vehicle heavy army you dont have anyway to deal with it. your whirlwind and vindicators are ONLY good against infantry. the only proper tank killing ability you have is in your dreadnought, which will die as soon as your opponent realises its the only thing that can hurt tanks.

shrike doesnt do anything really. he gives your assault marines and scouts fleet and thats it. GK dont benifit because they dont have combat tactics. hes far far too expensive for just a dude with rending lighning claws. captain with a relic blade would be better. if you want to use a special character then you need to build an army that makes use of their abilities.

this isnt a good list. any well thought out army will have no touble with it.

They should be able to handle either hordes or tanks


A dred and 2 vindi is not good anti tank, in fact its quite pathetic. 1 Assault cannon, a missle launcher, and 2 scattering blasts are not even close to being good enough tank hunting. esp considering that 2 of the weapons are on the same model, and neither unit is hard to kill.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/385107.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/385107.page GMT Re:1500 5th eddition space marine with allied Grey knights.
Use the points freed up from the scouts to buy a marine squad with rhino, or give the DHs transports.

Either make the Assault Marines a 8 man squad or a 6 man squad.

I'd drop one vindicator and use those points for more marines.

Other than that i think this list is alright.

GK's can assault a vehicle, unless its rear is 13 or more. Also some people don't seem to realize that the scouts are there because they are cheap and with GK I still have to have 2 troop choices from the space marine book. The scouts are really only there to hold an objective with a good cover save and supply some good fire support.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/385233.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218600/385233.page GMT Re:1500 5th eddition space marine with allied Grey knights.
By my calculations, even with the fleet from shrike, you need to roll a 6 to get a first turn assault, which i find almost impossible with tyranids on a 4x4 table.

As to the scouts, only 1/3 of the time are there objectives, so 1 squad of scouts is fine i guess but 2 squads is not such a great idea, as you should be spending those points on getting a tactical squad.

You clearly dont realize that the vindicators need the enemy not to deploy on the diagonal to them otherwise your are NOT in first turn range. Also with vindicators, they scatter, so regardless of weather your in range it will most likely scatter.

Your army lacks amounts of troops or tanks, and any shooty army could shoot this to bits.

Your GKs will most likely not destroy the vehicle if they assalut them, so you REALLY DO NEED MORE ANTI-TANK.

Shrike makes next to no sense in this list, because the chance of him giving you ONE assault squad a first turn assault, is pretty useless.

I'd get rid of the dreadnought and get something usefull, or put a real anti tank gun on it and remove the missiles.

If one of the lists you are playing is eldar you gonna get slaughtered with this list, because of your lack of anti-tank.

You really need to stop arguing with people trying to give you suggestions and just take them. We are not critisizing your army list we are just trying to give you help on how to make your list better/more competative. If you do not want suggestions, then why did you post this list on dakka?
