hendybadger Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I have a large Grey Knight force thats ever growing into a dangerous Apocalypse force. IA7 Vraks Part 3 mentions that Grey Knights use alot of different Landraiders inc the new GK LR Redeemer. Then I looked at the new IA Apoc 2. The LR Prometheus and Helios look fun. Do you think they would go well with a Grey Knight force? That book also has the Chaplain Dreadnought. Would GKs have one of those? I know anything goes in Apoc but I want to keep the army theme consistent. What are your thoughts?

Justicar Valius Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 dreds are rare in GK, most just wish to be buried in the stone of Titan. Ben Counter says we have chaplains, but come on, what do they do make sure troops are pure enough? And we have acsess to get any bloomin tank we want. When a daemon primarch comes a knocking not many people are gonna argue with the GK on requisitioning vehicles Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188341-grey-knight-chaplains-and-landraiders/#findComment-2228497 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Fox Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 In terms of Apocalypse, have you considered the Terminus Ultra Land Raider? It's a free datasheet available on the GW Website, located here. The short version? A Land Raider with nothing but Lascannons everywhere :) A grand total of 3 twin-linked lascannons and 2 individual lascannons. Granted it has no transport capacity, but meh, you can't have it all! Edit: I should add there is also the Land Raider Ares in the same location, but with only an assault cannon, 2 twin-linked heavy flamers, and a demolisher cannon it seems to pale compared to the Redeemer. Granted it IS a demolisher cannon though...

Dilgar Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 The Ultra Land Raider looks silly :( I love lascannons but, why did they have to make it the cheap way, as in attaching lascannons from a predator infront of the twin-linked side lascannons :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188341-grey-knight-chaplains-and-landraiders/#findComment-2229184 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malus the Destroyer Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I think I'd like the Ares better if it had Hurricane bolters, or Side sponson Twin linked Ass. Cannon goodness. But I have a love for Assault cannons, so I may be biased. *edit* My issue with the flamers on the sides is I have a LR Redeemer. And due to that weapons short range, and width of the tank, you really can't bring both weapon sponsons on a target. A Predator or Dreadnaught with those flamers would be better, just to get both templates on an enemy. That's why I don't like the side mount flamers. The Redeemer would be more intresting if they put the Flamer weapons on the front mount, and assault cannons on side sponsons. You'd just have to watch out how you deployed to assault out the ramp when using it! Hahaha! "Let's purge the Unlcean! Damnit Sgt Galatea, yer torching us!"

Gentlemanloser Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Granted it IS a demolisher cannon though... Backed by PotMS. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188341-grey-knight-chaplains-and-landraiders/#findComment-2231708 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a daemon primarch comes a knocking not many people are gonna argue with the GK on requisitioning vehicles Actually a Chaplain seems quite logical for them, more so than even any other Chapter. Religion, faith and purity are even more important to them. Having the wisest and most spiritual of them acting as Chaplains doesn't seem so odd.

Okidus Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I modeled a GK Chappy for my GKs, both in termie armor and PA. Rerolls on the WS5 and S6 is amazing. The Ares is by far my fav LR Variant, and a nicely dolled up one, with GKT's in tow would be quite a sight.

- 7eAL - Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 In fluff terms the Ares variant may or may not be available to the Grey Knights, however, because it is not an accepted variant in the eyes of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

I think that the structure of the Grey Knights makes it very unlikely that a Chaplain would be apart of the vast majority of strike forces. They are to spread out IMO. Also Chaplains were first intended to enforce the ban on psykers in the legions. This dose not really seem to go with the theme of the Grey Knights. I have read that they do have Chaplains but i find the idea to be weak. I would suggest a Land Raider Prometheus and Terminus Ultra. If you want to go big time why not a Grey Knight Woulfhound Titan?

Yeah, Gk's would be hard pressed to requesition one. That being said a warhound princeps wouldn't be against allying with the imperiums greatest infantry. ^_^ Or there could be an Inquisitor in tow, who by no means has actual jurisdiction over the princeps, commands enourmous respect from even the Admech. I hope to have one some day to follow around my Inquisitor. When alls said and done he'll have 3 cyber-mastifs(combat servitors) and a Warhound. Release the hounds indeed!! :lol: =]D[= Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188341-grey-knight-chaplains-and-landraiders/#findComment-2294083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy-xc Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Every inquisitor probably has a short list of all the rare/unique weapons every regiment or chapter has tucked away hiding in their super secret corner of their armory and believe me, the inquisitor would have that at the top of their requisition list, hehe.

Justicar Valius Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yup but nobody can requisition ad mech stuff but some people are allowed to ask politely and sometimes get given what they want.

Kaled100 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yup but nobody can requisition ad mech stuff but some people are allowed to ask politely and sometimes get given what they want. Technically the Inquisition can requisition anything they want from the AdMech - but no Inquisitor would be foolish enough to attempt to requisition anything the AdMech values too highly. Annoying or angering the people who maintain and build much of the Imperium's technology would be an extremely bad idea. Hence, as with the Astartes, Inquisitors tend to 'request' things from the AdMech rather than demand them.

Plus, I doubt the Inquisition knows much about the Legio Ordinatus machines that the AdMech keep tucked away - they seem to be used very rarely and the AdMech is secretive enough as it is.

mmgood Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 on an interesting side note....I have heard that such thing as a "holy" titan exixts or did exsist. Instead of a princepts, it was powered/conrolled by a psychic choir. I forget where I read or heard this, but there it is.

templargdt Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 On the Chaplain note, I don't think it would be odd for the Grey Knights to have Chaplains. Someone to lead worship, offer spiritual counselling, etc. Plus, reading one of the BL books it seems like the Chaplains in a chapter play a significant role in selecting recruits, I don't see why the Grey Knights wouldn't be the same that way.
