http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net As the subject suggests, I'm a new 40K player currently working on a Grey Knights army. I've ordered the following thus far:

1 Kaldor Draigo

2 Terminator squads

3 Grey Knight squads

My question is how I should go about building this army. I'm thinking that I'll just make the two Terminator squads into Paladin squads instead. However, with the Grey Knight squads, I'm still wondering what I should do. Should I make 1 Strike squad, 1 Interceptor squad, and 1 Purgation squad, or should I just make Purifiers instead. It might be worth noting that I don't anticipate buying any more units in the near future. Any constructive criticism is encouraged and appreciated.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6080161.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6080161.page GMT GK is an aging codex that can still rock face, if you ask me. The grey knights boxes are nice in that you can make just about anything you want. If you are willing to use magnets, than you can easily switch between anything you like.

You should resist the temptation to do full draigowing. This edition draigowing is in serious trouble. My paladins are eating more str 8 ap 2 than ever before. Of course, if you are using draigo anyway (and he is still a beast) it doesnt hurt to include a few "solodins" as late game objective snatchers. The rest of the terminators could form a nice squad to hang with draigo.

Power armored GK really want to be in groups of 10 to get max benefit from psybolt ammo (which is awesome). A group of 10 GKSS for a really strong power base, especially with 2 psycannons. Don't forget that they can deepstrike!

Your remaining 5 could easily become a purifier squad. Really though they need a ride.

These are just suggestions of course! Go with whatever appeals to you!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6080452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6080452.page GMT 10 paladin 4 cannons

and when you expand more get a bunch of dreadknights

If it was me with those models:

Draigo makes paladins troops. use this to your benefit.

the 3 other squads i would personally make Purifiers out of them. still IMHO the best horde control unit in the game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6080627.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6080627.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6081523.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6081523.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6081562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6081562.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6081749.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6081749.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6082425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6082425.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6082734.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6082734.page GMT str low ap weapons).

A decent army could be something along the lines of:

draigo
5x paladins + 2x psycannon (2 hammers, 2 halberds, 1 sword)
5x paladins + 2x psycannon (2 hammers, 2 halberds, 1 sword)
10x purifiers /w 1 hammer, 5 halberds, 4x psycannon + rhino
10x interceptors /w hammer + 2x psycannon
dreadknight + psycannon (teleporter if you have pts)
dreadknight + incinerator (teleporter if you have pts)

This comes out to roughly 2000 pts (don't have codex on me) and would be fairly competitive. Most of your army can teleport or deepstrike giving you aggressive play.

Draigo can use his grand strategy to make 1-3 units troops (avg 2) so you'll have at least 3 scoring units and potentially 5.

You could even drop the interceptors for another purifier squad in a rhino - they are more predictable, but put out greater firepower (and much more efficient in CC with 2 attack base and halberds for dirt cheap).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6082911.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6082911.page GMT Go Flat Out or 6" and pop smoke till you get to an ADL, then toast what hiding behind it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6082944.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554047/6082944.page GMT
