So it is SPAM but it keeps with the idea of a small but powerful footslogging list that i wanted. 10 psycannons, 6 Twin Linked Autocannons, 3 hammers, 15 Halbreds.

I am pretty set on the footslogging, dreads, purifiers and the Hq's. There is some flex i was hoping to have the Dakka community help me with. I would be ok with dropping the techmarine or change his loadout for something else, change the librarian powers or the incinerators. Would you keep the elites and librarian as is or change them around?

I see you are big on foot slogging, just watch out for people getting around you quickly - you may end up responding to their movements rather than playing your own game due to your slow movement. Other than that looks good!

I'd lose the tech marine for sure.

The sword only increases his invulnerable in close combat as well, so the sword gives you a 4++ in CC, the staff gives him a 2++ in CC. Since he will singled out in CC every time by a smart opponent, and gives such huge buffs to the army, the investment in his protection can be worth it.

While I love the vindicaire, he is very vulnerable to many common weapons, such as Autocannons and Krak Missiles, which can outrange him and simultaneously leave him relying on making 3+ cover saves to stave off death. Further, at his price tag, he would have to take down at least 1 very expensive vehicle to "make his points back".
The Ven, on the other hand, while even pricier, is far more resilient, especially with a librarian to give him the shrouding. You end up with 4 dreadnoughts instead of 3, and lastly increase your volume of fire substantially (from 1 small blast and 1 shot, to 4 TL shots) Which will help you against enemies like Eldar (both light and dark) and blood angels, who will have a huge advantage in maneuverability AND numbers.

I guess in the end its a preference thing, but I certainly feel those two are out of place, and a ven dread is the best option you can afford (honestly, I would prefer another purifier squad, but you can't afford that).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/372848/2879498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/372848/2879498.page GMT 1850 Grey Knight List - Some Help is a good choice can pop armour so good.
Agreed with above statements.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/372848/2879523.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/372848/2879523.page GMT 1850 Grey Knight List - Some Help TL Autocannons. Kinda boring to have pretty much the same unit 4 times but hard to deny the benefit of that much S8 shooting.

Can you take more then one assassin? I cant seem to find anywhere in the book saying that you cant take 1 of each type. Maybe i drop the techmarine and go with 2 assassins?

svendrex-no interest in putting guys in transports. I already play a mech blood angel list and want this to be footslogging.

Beside the ven dread does anyone have any more suggestions to replace the Assassin and the Techmarine? Maybe something different or a bit fun? I was thinking maybe servo skulls and a new weapon for the libby and a new unit]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/372848/2880823.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/372848/2880823.page GMT Re:1850 Grey Knight List - Some Help FOC areas filled up and unchangeable, you really are limiting the options, which is why I suggested a Ven dread (normally I dislike Ven Dreads).

Personally, I didn't want to discourage you, but I think going with purifiers in a foot slogging GK list isn't the best choice. You are literally planning on just marching 30 power armoured guys up the field. I can't see that being competitive enough to win no matter what your elite slot looks like. If you went with Strike Squads instead, dropping Crowe, you could have twice as many guys on the field. Not as good in CC, but much better in shooting and twice as survivable.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/372848/2881303.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/372848/2881303.page GMT 1850 Grey Knight List - Some Help
You can go naked or with an incinerator - I'd recommend the incinerator. Just a matter of points - this would be very fun!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/372848/2882505.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/372848/2882505.page GMT
