One could argue that Grey Knights are in fact Sorcerers as their abilities far exceed that of the strongest Librarians due to the fact that they tap into the warp on a much more precedented scale then that of other psykers.

Speculatively, since the effects of the geenseed seem to be beyond science to explain (the Black Rage, for example) and entail some kind of immaterial connection to the Primarch, it's possible that the implantation process simply wouldn't work on Blanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3514625.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3514625.page GMT Re:Grey Knights... Maybe he put more faith into the abilities shown in control of the warp?

Plus we don't know if the pariah gene is still part of the background as the source , ie a C'tan is changed now.
Until the whole story of 'pariah' , 'blanks' etc is put back onto its feet where can we base our guesses ?
Material on the creation of anti-psykers is rare if existant at all. ( thanks to the fog of war covering the latest codex yet ).

There's also the case of the Sister's of Silence already being active at the time of their creation, and the fact that the Grey Knights already project and aura that is harmful to Daemons. Sorcery is a much better weapon to actually fight Daemons with. It evens the playing field, Grey Knights can use to actively attack and cause harm to Daemons, understand their existence and how to fight them in the best way. Blanks could not do this. They may cause harm to Daemons by their presence, but it also renders the Aegis, Nemesis Force Weapons, psybolt ammunition, Psycannons, pretty much all of the Grey Knight's wargear that are proven to be the best weapons for the job, useless. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3514962.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3514962.page GMT Re:Grey Knights... HH series, the Tales of Heresy novel most recently IIRC) that there is like one Pariah for every billion or so of humans. Contrast this with 1 psyker for every million to 100,000 humans (depending on source. One per a million is more often repeated though) You're going to get 1000+ psykers for every Pariah. And even if only 1% of that 1000 or so is Grey Knight potential, you still have more psykers than Pariahs.

GKs don't just want to be protected from daemons they want to destroy them. You need psychic powers to obliterate a daemon otherwise you're just banishing them back to the warp.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3515566.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3515566.page GMT Grey Knights...
And blanks do banish daemons with their very presence in the material world. They cannot exist with the null zone a blank creates.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3515587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3515587.page GMT Grey Knights...

No Daemons can be permanently killed, although it's a near impossible task. Plus, the can be bound and captured. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3515695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3515695.page GMT Re:Grey Knights...

Unless I'm very much mistaken Nulls/Blanks/Pariahs in fluff pre-date the C'tan by a few years; they were first detailed in the Assassins' Codex for 2nd Ed., at which time the C'tan were just a name attached to a few bits of wargear that ignored saving throws.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3516079.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3516079.page GMT Re:Grey Knights...

Possibly, thats why I said rare fluff. Background of editions 1&2 isn't common now, a lot of these publications ceased to be available and many
have joined the hobby later.
Thus based the point on GW's most recent source of 'pariah', which was codex necrons. ( plus i don't know ed 1&2 ).
The blanks will continue to exist in the background.
But the past may have changed and the source of specific genes in the human race too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3516911.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407579/3516911.page GMT
