Rinion Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hello, Thinking about jumping on this old/new bandwagon, and was wondering what to order. Obviously the book isnt out yet, so any purchases with a view for a final list are speculative, and maybe unknown about how competitive it'll be. The plan was something like the following; 1x Terminator Librarian (150pts?) 1x Box'o'Terminators (300pts?) 6x Boxes of Grey Knights (900pts?) 2x Dreadknights (400pts?) Total of 1750?ish, maybe less. Leftover points probably for another HQ. On paper, this seems good. Though as i found out with my blood angels, getting what looks good on paper never works out. Consequently, i have a spare land raider crusader/redeemer, two Stormravens and a couple of rhinos, death company etc, which see very little use. Thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated!

ToI Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I feel like this is about right for most people. there are going to be those that order crap tons of terminators instead of PAGK, but I think this buy will be the right ratio for most standard grey knight lists being run post release. I personally will be ordering about 2000+ in models and I can't decide what list I want to run right off the bat to be honest. We will see.

I really like the terminator models and I think you can have pretty nice lists using termies as well, plus having less models is cheaper and quicker to paint.

Rinion Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Quick checking around gives me some interesting things. I might add another box of termies and run this; 10x GKT (MC DH, DH, rest Halberds, 2x Psycannons, BBanner, Psybolts) = 500pts Ones with the 2x Psycannons can be mid-field support while the BBanner and Hammers go off and try to beat things in the face. Apparently with Grand Strategy, you can assign battlefield roles BEFORE using combat squads so you can have 2 scouting squads of Terminators from the one big squad. I'd probably have to salvage my basecoated BA rhinos for a couple of Strike Squads.

I don't think I'll ever have that many, don't think I would ever use that many either. 75 GK Termies would be epic in an apocalypse game though.

Aeddon Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 With that you could almost recreate the 1st Battle for Armageddon! That's be something to see!

Rinion Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 That would be a copious ammount of terminators indeed =p Working with almost exactly with the box sets i posted, it works out something like; Grand Master (Psycannon, Blind, Rad) = 240 5x GKT (MC DH, Psycannon) = 230 10x GKSS (Rhino, MC DH, 2x Psycannons) = 275 10x Purifiers (Rhino, MC DH, Halberds, 4x Psycannons) = 340 10x Interceptors (MC DH, 2x Psycannons, Psybolts) = 315 Nemesis Dreadknight (Heavy Psycannon) = 170 Nemesis Dreadknight (Heavy Psycannon) = 170 Total 1740 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224953-jumping-the-bandwagon/#findComment-2691283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimz Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm only looking at running 5 GKT, but one GKGM, I just don't know what model to use for a GKGM without ordering another box set of termies Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224953-jumping-the-bandwagon/#findComment-2691417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
