Drop the psychic hood and put a psycannon in the GK squad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/411639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/411639.page GMT DH 500, criticism wanted!
That said, DH is a really hard army to play, and at 500p it gets even harder. If you win you will earn some respect, thats for sure.

I have stated that I think redundancy is the way to go, so we only have two choices to make on the troops selection:
A. Two Units of Grey Knights
B. Two (or more) Units of Storm Troopers

If you go with the Grey Knights, I think you should maximize the benefits of the Veil. So you should take as many Psycannons you have points for, and keep as far of your enemy as you can, so he finds hard to be able to you. Keep walking backwards as long as you can and keep firing on him, just till he charges you. If he runs he doesn´t fire and when he arrives, he hopeful would be seriusly injured. And in Close combat you are not bad, so you would do well.

The Justicar with targeter sounds good for optimizing the distance neded for the veil to work. A third Psycannon would be perfect, but you would probably have no points for that.

With two Grey Knights units in mind, we have something like:
1x G.Knight Hero
2x5 G.Knights
-1 Justicar (Power Weapon)
-4 G.Knights (2xPsycannons)

That makes 461 points. You can buy one more psycannon (probably for the Hero) or whatever you like.

Pros: The Veil.
Cons: Few amount of minis, lack of antitank.

If you go Pure Gry Knights that would be the only way to go. But... I don't really think that going Pure G. Knights with this points is a wise choice. It would be funny to play, really flulffy, and as I said, if you win you´ll earn lots of respect, but if you really wanna win...

I´ll take something like:
1xInquistor+Retinue
-3xServogun(?) (3xHB)
5x5 Stormtroopers
-2xPlasma or 2xMelta (your choice, but I will go all Plas for the better distance)

That´s about 470. Yo still have points for buying some 3 more bodies, some equip on the armory, a smart Psychic power or whatever you need.

Yeah, it´s a lot of Killpoints, but at this level and with this army, you can obliterate your enemy.

- Pros: A lot of Fire Power, a lot of Troop Units.
- Cons: Cover saves everywhere (potentially making useless all your plas), a lot of KP.

Well, as I said, DH is a really hard army to play with, but this are the two best options that come to my mind.

Has this been of any utility for you?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/413482.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/413482.page GMT DH 500, criticism wanted! i like 2nd. list better, lot of body's and hi strength/ap weapons. maybe chimera can fit in hire ?
is it psychic hood worth it (main enemy eldar)?
agree on mystics, i don't need ability to allow a different squad to take a free shot, they for extra wounds only.

which is better?

Inquisitor Lord (psycannon, auspex)
gun servitor whit heavy bolter x3
mystic x2
sage

stormtroopers x6 (plasma gun x2)
chimera (multi-laser, heavy bolter)

stormtroopers x6 (plasma gun x2)

stormtroopers x6 (plasma gun x2)


or


Inquisitor Lord (psycannon)
gun servitor whit heavy bolter x3

stormtroopers x5 (plasma gun x2)

stormtroopers x5 (plasma gun x2)

stormtroopers x5 (plasma gun x2)

stormtroopers x5 (plasma gun x2)

stormtroopers x5 (plasma gun x2)

thank you for advise.

You'll get killed in kill point games though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/414662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/414662.page GMT DH 500, criticism wanted!

That´s the way I´d go
Maybe I´d change the psycannon for something different like the hood, if you are sure your Eldar opponent is having psychics, I´d take it.

Yeah, 6KP at 500 maybe are too much, but with this army, (and with this amount of points), you have a real chance of killing all your opponents units. And if you REALLY need it, you can make a lot of self-cover (giving to your adversary in the process, tough).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/414731.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/414731.page GMT DH 500, criticism wanted! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/415262.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/415262.page GMT Re:DH 500, criticism wanted! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/415617.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/415617.page GMT Re:DH 500, criticism wanted!

Which list are your talking about? Because there IS one Inquisitor in the list I think we are talking about. So if you want assassins you can just take one ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/416532.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/416532.page GMT DH 500, criticism wanted! i will put to the test this lists and see what fit my play style best.

if you have other thought about this ill be very grateful.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/418951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/418951.page GMT DH 500, criticism wanted! LR redeemer and 2 scout sniper squads + a cheap captain.
that would hurt lol.


thats another possibility though, is there any way you can get a LR in the list? at 500 points you dont have to worry about anti-tank.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/418958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/418958.page GMT DH 500, criticism wanted! LR are good at 500 points, but your opponent having meltaguns or multimelta should be not really strange... In the above Inquisitor+Stormtroopers list there could be 10 meltaguns. Yeah they don't have a lot of range, but it´s enough for killing the occasional LR ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/422244.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220511/422244.page GMT
