Mortis909 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Ever since the announcement of the up-coming codex release i have pondered what new releases the may be getting and thought that you guy may have a better idea than i do. So if anyones knows what will be in the new Grey Knights codex please post here Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220109-new-grey-knight-units/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindicatus Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think what we have rumoured so far is: The ****-chicken. "Stormraven" for those unlearned in proper nomenclature, a squat-looking, condensed Thunderhawk. 2-wound Terminators known as Paladins, replacing normal terminators as an Elite choice and bumping regular terminators to Troops. Librarian/Psyker Dreadnought Updated Psychic Powers to match, nullify, or exceed current standards Updated Wargear to match or exceed current standards Grand-Master Falcon-Punch, an ability used to one-shot Greater Daemons and Avatar's of War off the table in a fight of blinding rage. Disclaimer : I added in the last one because I really, really want to see that happen. Just once. I'm sure there are others, but I've not had nearly enough espresso today to go digging through posts to find it all.

Marmande Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Stormraven, psychic Dreadnoughts, etc., for sure, though I'm thinking the Terminators simply have 2 wounds, not some new unit that competes with Terminators. I'm betting Stern'll make them Troops, though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220109-new-grey-knight-units/#findComment-2626838 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmande Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think we can go ahead and official confirm the Stormraven as a new unit: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5083/537396...7550c14fc_o.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220109-new-grey-knight-units/#findComment-2626918 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zode Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The pics of the sprues on the Blood Angels pre-order also clearly show the book and sword on the second sprue pic. The exact same book and sword shown in this pic. Yay!!! Happiness!!

Gentlemanloser Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 There's also a pic floating around from the back ofthe box of a SR painted in a dull grey and red Grey Knight colour scheme. There's also a little more discussion on the 'dreadknight' over in Warseer.

By 'floating around' did you mean only two posts above yours? :lol: There's also a little more discussion on the 'dreadknight' over in Warseer. Which is unfortunate, but at least RedS8n dropped the rumor that there will be units (more than one?) with personal teleportation devices. Maybe we'll see more Deep Striking to make up for a lack of vehicles in an elite footslogger army?

Vindicatus Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 That always really bothered me about Grey Knights. "I'm using rules 8 years older than everyone elses, cost twice as much, have to footslog across the board and GET SHOT TO HELL EVERY STEP OF THE WAY." Because this makes total sense. :\ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220109-new-grey-knight-units/#findComment-2627901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady_Canoness Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I don't know what's worse: These new StormRavens that don't look like they could get off the ground, or sand in my... nevermind. Is it too hard to ask for something that actually looks like a transport instead of the "Let us add more guns!" philosophy?

Vindicatus Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 It looks like you could fit about four guys in the front of that, not to mention if it got hit in the tail by anything bigger than a fruit fly, it would start doing ass-over-tea-kettle spins from the weight differential. I've ridden in everything from a C130 going through an arm of a hurricane, to a UH-60 Blackhawk through a snowstorm...and I wouldn't step foot in that thing for fear of my added weight in the front making it do a perpetually endless nosedive. No thank you; my Grey Knights are too expensive to be biological lawn darts.

Inquisitor Fox Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I swear I'm one of the only people that like the Storm Raven. It's growing on me like a pug.. so ugly that it's kinda cute. I'll definately be getting one, perhaps more down the road as I can help it. Or I may do a two prong approach and have some units in Storm Raven and some in Land Raider traditional transport and divide the opponents attention that way :P I'll have to just wait for the new Codex and see...

Marmande Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I like it as well. Trying to decide whether to hold off to save for Terminators or to pick one up and have a unit painted ahead of time for April.

Oiad Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Latest reports from Stickmonkey suggest the new Terminators a pretty similar to the current ones (at least in size) and will fit in well your current collect. That reminds me, I should put those new rumours up on the rumours thread sometime... Edit - Here you go. Enjoy! I swear I'm one of the only people that like the Storm Raven. It's growing on me like a pug.. so ugly that it's kinda cute. I'll definately be getting one, perhaps more down the road as I can help it. Or I may do a two prong approach and have some units in Storm Raven and some in Land Raider traditional transport and divide the opponents attention that way :tu: I'll have to just wait for the new Codex and see... So cute, you could tickle it under the heavy weapon array. Just make sure it doesn't sneeze when you do. It's understandable if there's a contrast of opinion but is it really that different to what was expected? To me it looks like a mini TH, which is what it's meant to be. It helps being much more worried about what the Dreadknight could look like instead. ----- EDIT 21/01/2011 - Re-edited.

Inache Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I love the SR. Of course, I'll be throwing some plasticard on the back to elongate it to look more like a baby THawk than a front heavy box with wings. I've been saving up for a while now, and I can't wait to go on a shopping spree when the new models hit.

DOCSpanky Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I could give a rip how it looks........ If it Blows stuff up and breaks things, WHO CARES! In it to WIN it baby! Anyone besides me notice how little tank killing power is in the current codex? I have played it since it was the new book. But its getting dang near impossible to be competitive, especially against other 3+ armies. And if it drops some nasty new Dreadnaught variant on your head then allows a pile of 2 wound GK termies to hop out and play baloney slicers from hell on a unit of anything......... It could look like a flying school bus and I'd take it. I want a competitive GK codex. Can the =I= crap. (That was a living abortion from day one) I want some guys who walk up to a daemon or psychic heavy chaos army and go.... "BOOOOM!--- Now lets go grab a beer" :D I like the one about being able to negate any psychic power played on the field possibly remove from game, not just psychic powers targeted at them. Can we say bye-bye to the "DOOM GUIDE WAVESERPANT" turnkey army?

Zincite Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Well, (going by the word of my store manager) GW is limited to 6 sprues per release. So this would be my guess: Gray Knights squad, 2 sprues. Gray Knights Termie Squad, 2 sprues. Stormraven, Doesn't count because it's the BA one; painted gray. Some sort of heavy support squad, there is something like it in the downloadable Demon Hunters codex on GW's site, But I've forgotten what it's called... 2 Sprues There's loads of tank upgrades on ForgeWorld, as well as dreadnought stuff. So I doubt There'll be any of that. (FW) Probably one or two metal guys? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220109-new-grey-knight-units/#findComment-2629002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Fox Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Purgation squad as it is (unless it gets new weapon options) is simply a Grey Knight squad with extra weapons. Even if the weapon options are included, chances are a SM Dev squad will contain the parts unless entirely new weapons are made up. Personally, my bets would be on the new walkery thingie if I was a betting man, as existing players won't have it and it'd be new and exciting :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220109-new-grey-knight-units/#findComment-2629417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I still want to know what theyre ripping off that knight-titans name for. Unless it is a Knight-titan, in wich case I want to know what they were smoking, giving an ad-mech unit to C:GKs.

Gentlemanloser Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Paladin? That's rumoured to be either the GKT Squad Leaders name, or the new 2W FNP Termy variation. I doubt any 2W GKT would have a different sprue to the normal GKT.

No thank you; my Grey Knights are too expensive to be biological lawn darts. This made laugh. Very hard. I'm right with you on this Vindicatus. It will be good to see if the new models fit nicely with the old - but I'm currently stripping, spraying and staining my metals as we speak. They look good with a new paint job. As mentioned elsewhere, it will be very interesting to see what they do with the Dreads. Did someone also mention a LR Redeemer? MR.
