Brovius Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I've recently kitbashed myself one of these wonderful machines, and i've been given the go-ahead to use it in a friendly game against Blood Angels tomorrow. Does anyone have some past experience with them? Suitable unit to use in it? Was thinking just a Grand Master and 5 GKTs, or substituting one GK and have Stern in the squad, also. Tactics are also welcomed, the model looks great on paper, i want to see if it performs like it should. Suggestions please? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203902-grey-knights-land-raider-redeemer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Templarius Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Point in direction of enemy deathstar. Maim and burn with psycannons and flamestorm incinerators on the way. Pop out GM + GKT with I10. Kill. I'll be using mine for the first time with the actual GKLRR rules this weekend, I'm hoping it will kill alot of things.

Brovius Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm hoping it will do good, too. I convinced the other player to let me use it, with the 'my codex is outdated out of competitive functionality' leverage :P List at the moment is as following: HQ: GK Grand Master w/NFS and SB, Holy Relic, Teleport Homer 185pts Brother Captain Stern 141pts Elites: 4 GK Terminators 199pts 7 GK Terminators 337pts Troops: 5 PAGK w/1xPsycannon 175pts 5 PAGK w/1xPsycannon 175pts Heavy: 1 GK Land Raider Redeemer w/Extra Armour, Multi-Melta 285pts 2 GK Land Raiders 500pts Grand Master and Stern will be riding in the Redeemer attached to the 4-man Terminators, assault out, and in the second turn use the teleport homer to deepstrike the 7-man squad on the field without scatter. Holy Icon obviously to be revealed when both squads of Terminators are in combat, to get even more attacks :D As before, ideas are welcomed, as are some army list changes if you have any better ideas.

Daedalus Templarius Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Only problems I see: I don't think you can add a MM to the GKLRR, otherwise, excellent idea. I don't think its listed in the options. I don't think terminators can carry teleport homers? I could be wrong though. Thats alot of GKT, do you actually own that many models? I only have about 7 myself, though they never get fielded together lol. Should be interesting at 2000pts, don't get tied up with any hordes with that few models and fearless, although GKs should likely win the combat of wounds, at least the GKTs should.

Brovius Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Indeed you're right, i must have been thinking of a Crusader or something, my bad. I have a rather large Grey Knights force, consisting of 2x GKLRs 2x GKLRCs 1x GKLRR Brother Captain Stern 1xGKT w/Psycannon 14x GKTs w/NFW&SB 3x GKTs w/Incinerators 16x PAGKs w/NFW&SB 2x PAGKs w/Psycannons 3x PAGKs w/Incinerators 1x GK Dread w/Lascannon and Incinerator 1x GK Dread w/Plasma cannon and Incinerator I usually field lots of Termies, so i won't have any problems there :) I should be getting another box of PAGKs and GKTs from a friend as a late birthday present, too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203902-grey-knights-land-raider-redeemer/#findComment-2431550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brovius Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Oh, and yes, the Grand Master can take a Teleport Homer. Gotta love the Army Builder program, it really helps out with these lists Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203902-grey-knights-land-raider-redeemer/#findComment-2431564 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have about 12 PAGKs(1 incinerator) and 7 GKTs but I am loving the GKLRR, it is a beautiful kit, even though I have to use super-glue on the resin.

PhallenFoenix Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I am allergic to super glue, so I hate actually building my GKs. Speaking as someone who was too lazy to go out a buy a new thing of glue when he realized all he had was citadel plasic glue, I've found that pinning plus plastic glue works excellently at building gray knights. I know. Too lazy to buy glue, but I'll hand drill holes in all my models. What can I say?

Lungboy Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Oh, and yes, the Grand Master can take a Teleport Homer. Be aware that some people will argue that DH teleport homers no longer work as they specifically reference using the template method to deepstrike, which no longer exists.

I'm sure they will let me use the new Teleport Homer, unless of course, they want to deal with a NFW that ignores Eternal Warrior :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203902-grey-knights-land-raider-redeemer/#findComment-2432043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brovius Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 Just finished my game today, and it was a pretty solid victory! It was a simple annihilation match, and I was lucky enough to get first turn ^_^ The GKLRR didn't do much, it killed a devastator on first turn with the TL Psycannon, but got rammed at 24 inches by a vanilla Predator, which took off the prized weapon. I also lost one of the GKLRs on first turn, too. Dante deepstriked into my deployment zone, and a Chaplain deepstriked near my Redeemer, so i reacted by launching my GM/Stern squad out of the Redeemer for an Initiative 10 charge, and walked on my 7man GKT squad to charge Dante and pals. With all attacks directed at the squads from both assaults, i won both. The Chaplain lost all his wounds from mass No Retreat saves, and Dante ran away (good thing he isn't fearless). I consolidated my GKTs to keep Dante from regrouping, until he ran directly into a Razorback, thus destroying him :D In the end, i still had one GKLR, an immobilized GKLRR, Stern, the GM, and 5 GKTs left on the field. A pretty acceptable amount of losses for a complete wipeout of the enemies forces :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203902-grey-knights-land-raider-redeemer/#findComment-2432172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 ok I am missing something here. how does a LR boost your I to 10 on charge? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203902-grey-knights-land-raider-redeemer/#findComment-2432320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungboy Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 The Grey Knight Land Raider Redeemer, from IA7, has "Psyk-out Grenade Launchers" which allow anything that assaults out of the vehicle strike at I10 for that turn.

Brovius Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 ok I am missing something here. how does a LR boost your I to 10 on charge? Sorry about the confusion, Jeske. As Lungboy said, it has the Psyk-Out Launcher which allows that. The Grey Knights Redeemer is a beast of a tank. Any infantry outside Terminator Armor or equivalent gets no saves at all from the Flamestorm Incinerators, too :verymad: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203902-grey-knights-land-raider-redeemer/#findComment-2432542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
