I'd agree with wuestenfux, in smaller point games having fewer GK makes them vulnerable to horde or shooty armies. The Psyrifle dreadnoughts and two GK units will allow you to have 4 very effective units in a 750 pt army. Also as was noted, having an expensive HQ in a small point game is risky and probably not reccomended. The cheap Inquisitor will allow you to field more models. As a general rule, always equip a model in your Combat Squads with a Psycannon.

Those things being said, I find to have any fun with GK you need to play games of at least 1000 pts so you can try different lists and options.

Making the jump from a 750 pt army to a 1000 pt army with GK in terms of model purchasing isn't huge, but it is helpful to decide what sort of army you want to go with.

More competitive lists tend to focus on one aspect of the army, so if you want to build on your list with the dreadnoughts and GK units, you may want to look at getting more GK units and transports over terminators or other costly units perhaps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411890/3593402.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411890/3593402.page GMT
i sat down with the Codex last night and trying to figure out if there are any big diffrence beetween Purgation squad and strike squad exept that strike is troop and purgation is not .
i was trying to build a list and. so far its like this

HQ ---- dunno what to get.
Troops = Terminator + 1 Incinerate wep. is 205point
Troops = Strike Squad + 1 Psycannon is 110point
Troops = Strike Squad, 100
Heavy = Purgation squad + Psycannon, psyboltammo, and + a razorback as transport. in this unit i would include my unknowed HQ.

is this a good start for a list at 750? or if i aiming for 1000 dunno yet. is my thinking right? :=)

The differences that I know of between the Strike Squad and Purgation are these that Purgation is a Heavy unit choice, they have Astral Aim and Hammerhand for Psychic abilities, and you may equip them with more heavy weapons. The heavy weapons are more expensive to equip to a Purgation squad than a Strike squad because you can take more of them. Strike Squads are troop choices, have Warp Quake and Hammerhand for Psychic abilities, and can deepstrike. Only one unit can upgrade with a Heavy Weapon choice, but for less points than the Purgations.

Overall, Purgation Squads are only useful if you plan on having a lot of Psycannons in the unit. Equipping 1 in 5 with a Psycannon will also allow you to do a Crowe/Purifier at some point.

Here is a draft list for a 750 pt game.

HQ - Ordo Xenos Inquisitor - 25

Troop 1 - Terminator Squad - 200

Troop 2 - 10-man Strike Squad + 2 Psycannons + Razorback - 265

Troop 3 - 10-man Strike Squad + 2 Psycannons + Rhino - 260

Total = 750

Troop: Terminator: 1 Incinerate.
Troop: Strike Squad
Troop: Strike Squad
Haevy: Purgation Squad: 2xPsycannon, Psyboltammo and 1-razorback to ride in.
Heavy: Dreadnought.

i was thinking that my inquisitor can ride in the razorback with the purgationsquad. how this looks? =)

If you are going to take the Dreadnought, give him psybolt ammo. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411890/3606590.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411890/3606590.page GMT what is grey Knights speciality. Close combat. Firepower. Psyker etc. How do i build them correct?

They are supported by some strong firepower (psycannons, psyrifle dreads), and good psyker power. But most psyker powers are activated in CC (hammerhand). Because of this, you want to get your squads into CC quickly against shooty armies, and make sure you deny horde armies the charge. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411890/3608536.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411890/3608536.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411890/3609338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411890/3609338.page GMT
