Librarian joins the Terminators without the hammer and will roll on sanctic table.
Terminators will DS first turn (hopefully) and depending on terrain setup the Knights will either DS or shunt up.
Interceptors provide fire support and objective grab or aid placement of late arrivals.
Purifiers will combat squad in the Rhino (one hammer and one Incinerator per squad) and cleaning flame out their box or assault when needed. I know Rhinos aren't great assault platforms but short of a LRC or Stormraven I have no other transports for them.

Any advice on this list? Not looking for a tournement grade list but would like it to be no push over either.
Generally play against Nids, Orks, Crons and infrequently Tau and vanilla SM. No flyers/FMC so AA isn't an issue.
Been away from the game for a few years and trying to get my head around the newer playing style of GK.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598429.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598429.page GMT [1500] - Grey Knights - Nemesis Strike Force http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598516.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598516.page GMT [1500] - Grey Knights - Nemesis Strike Force I could swap out the purifiers Incinerators for psycannons,
Or just give the Libby the cuirass, not sure if that's worth it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598553.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598553.page GMT [1500] - Grey Knights - Nemesis Strike Force
Also, you have the points for more melee weapons, you should take them. Get a hammer on the other Termies.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598558.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598558.page GMT [1500] - Grey Knights - Nemesis Strike Force Should I kit the interceptors out with more melee weapons? Seems like a point sink for a single attack unit, or would falchions be a good take for them?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598580.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598580.page GMT [1500] - Grey Knights - Nemesis Strike Force There's a GK tactics thread with a big discussion about halbs vs falchs. More chances to hit, or better chance to wound? They do some math and you can make up your mind. Halbs are a good cheap choice, but falchs look so cool!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8598867.page GMT [1500] - Grey Knights - Nemesis Strike Force

The extra hammer in the Terminators is a good idea, I didn't put one there originally as I was using the cheap hammer from the Libby.

I would leave them be with just the flamers. They can get wiped out pretty easily so concentrating too many points in them could end up making you sad.

In addition to adding a hammer to Terminator Team 2, I think you should make your units more specific. One unit is all halberds with a hammer, another is all falchions with a hammer. This lets you conserve warp charges on casting hammerhand as S5 is almost as good as S6 so you can smudge the difference in a lot of situations with that. Also, don't forget the psycannon does not replace a weapon on terminators so the gunners can have fun melee weapons too.

If the Librarian is going full sanctic you can put him with the Purifiers and ditch the Rhino. You'd have an 80% chance at getting Gate of Infinity. This frees up 35 points for more weapons. The rest of the army has teleporters or deep strike.

If you can free up 34 points you can take a naked Inquisitor with servo skulls to help with deep strikes (and Gate of Infinity) too.

Could be fun to have them gating arround like was sugeested above.

I always take a staff in lib for the adm. Wil also because you dont want him in challenges anyway sinces it's so many spells wc.

I also put atleast hammer in a termi squad. They are also my pscyannon platform(10man squad 2hammers 2 psy cannons some falchions) so I have a Shooty squad (2psy canons) and a melee squad with falchions just how I prefer it.

Anyway your list should work as well]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8599507.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8599507.page GMT Re:[1500] - Grey Knights - Nemesis Strike Force So as an updated list taking into account all of your suggestions this is how it looks.

Nemesis Strike Force

Liber Daemonica, Daemon Hammer, Level 3 - 165 (Warlord) Gating with purifiers.

Elite

Purifiers (10)
Daemon Hammer (2), Incinerator (3), Halberds (5) - 292

Inquisition Detachment

Inquisitor
Servo skulls (3) - 34 - Join Purifiers (use as a overwatch meat shield I guess)

Total - 1499

I need to remodel the purifiers to remove the Halberds and add swords this will free up the points to allow me to have Halberds and Falchions Terminator units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8599825.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8599825.page GMT [1500] - Grey Knights - Nemesis Strike Force And pretty much what I am planning to do right now.

how would you go on about 1850?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8602042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8602042.page GMT [1500] - Grey Knights - Nemesis Strike Force
Librarian - Level 3, Hammer - 140

Terminators - Psycannons, Hammer, Falchions (4) - 211

Total - 351

That would put me 1850 on the noise.
I have read that Draigo works well but I'm not sure how I would fit him in without a reshuffle of the initial list. For 1750 he would be easy to drop in with very minor changes.
Anyone have any thoughts on how better to expand this list?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8602443.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8602443.page GMT [1500] - Grey Knights - Nemesis Strike Force http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8602469.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688043/8602469.page GMT [1500] - Grey Knights - Nemesis Strike Force .
