Eternal Warrior Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hail brothers! Even after all of these years I am now entering the hallowed halls of Titan. I seek knowledge from my more venerated battle brethren on the best/easiest/fastest way to paint Grey Knights and general knowlegde on what to do and not do in this edition of 40K. And my last question because i dont have my codex yet and wont be able to get one for a week or two if a unit fails their shrouding check whilst shooting at one squad can it elect to shoot at another squad? I believe after they fail their shots are wasted. Thank you brethern.

templargdt Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Welcome to the Grey Knights, always nice to have a new Brother join. Painting Knights is coincidentaly being discussed in another new member's thread going on right now, here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=181246 Some real good tips in there about painting. I will say I take my time paining my Knights, because the models are so nice. YMMV. As for what to do, I would highly recommend Silent Requiem's "Way of the Water Warrior" tactica. There is some real excellent material in it. Personally, I go for 3 Land Raiders and bunch of Grey Knights / Terminators and some ISTs with meltaguns or Sisters with Meltaguns as back up for my lists, but we tend to play high point values. There are lots of lists in the Inquisition army list forum to pull ideas from. Finally, I don't have my codex in front of me, but I believe that if you fail a shrouding check, you don't get to shoot something else. Good luck and again, welcome!

CDR Grendelwulf Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 @Eternal Warrior: Welcome! templargdt has already pointed you in some good directions and is correct about Shrouding. If the enemy unit fails to detect GKs, they fail to fire at an alternative target in the confusion. Ciao, CDR Grendelwulf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181691-finally-i-arrive-on-titan/#findComment-2150915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

number6 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Welcome aboard, Brother! ;) Do please check out all the tactical links provided in the Online Resources topic stickied at the top of this forum. "Way of the Water Warrior" remains one of the best tacticas for any army anywhere on the Internet. However, I would strongly advise against playing pure GK in 5th edition 40K. It just isn't a truly balanced army capable of taking on all-comers anymore. You will need to seriously "mech up" any Imperial army to have a chance of survival, and you will also need to bring along as much AP 1 weaponry as possible to de-mech your increasingly mechanized opponents. This means relying on Inquisitorial Stormtroopers (ISTs), inducted Imperial Guard Platoons, and fitting in GKs after those basics are met to bring the hammer in both the assault and shooting phases of the game. Check out this topic (linked from the "Online Resources" topic) for example army lists and discussion.

templargdt Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Grendelwulf- "Guns N' Roses" is the best Sisters convent name in history, period. I salute you!
