no chaplain?

When a contingent of GK returns from stomping Chaos back into the warp, does anyone check them over for signs of Taint, or are they just automatically assumed to have reisted everythign, cuz well they're the Grey Knights?

 

I'm pretty sure everyone else get's screened, and isn't it by the Inquisition?

 

If the GK are also screened when they return, and isn't it just sensible to do so, would the Inquisition do it, or rather a memebr of the Grey Knights themselves? Maybe a Memebr of the GK that's also part of the Inquisiton, like one of the GM are.

 

Definitely. Weapons and armour will need reconsecrating, rituals of cleansing probably happen too. I'd imagine this would be done in-house.

 

+EDIT+

Then no list needs them.

 

Either they provide a battlefield role, like fixing your GK LR/Dread on the field, or it can all be done in the background.

 

Seeing as most other imperial armies have them, it seems like there is a viable on field role.

 

Chaplains provide Fearless - GKs are already Fearless. Chaplains allow Litanies of Hate - with GK WS 5 thats a little overpowered.

Whether or not GKs get a Chaplain-style figure, it almost certainly won't have the same effects as the SM Chaplain.

Not that they'd require special rules (but who would use them if they didn't?) GK Chaplains could be changed to provide ultra fearless (like not running fromt he things that can effect Fearless troops), some form of Stubborn (So Fearless GKs aren't at a disadvantage in CC compared to SM...), or things like Daemonic Instability (Every Dameon Pack assaulted by Chaplain led GK has to check Ld or be sent back tot he warp. That sort of thing). Or gives the Squad the equivalent of PC bolts.

 

GK Chaplains wouldn't necessarily have to be the same as regular Chaplains. :(
