GH05T Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I've never been able to complete an army as I get too caught up in conversions before jumping to a new army. And with the awesome new bits the Grey Knights have, I'm going to be getting a couple boxes anyway. So in the eternity it will take me to make a competitive army, I'm going to attempt a Grey Knight army. How should I go about it? I want it 10 men or less. So far I'm looking at using Draigo, a Librarian, Techmarines, and one man Paladin units. Planning on using a ton of servo-skulls.

StormTAG Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 You want a 10 man army in 1500 points? HQ - Draigo Troop - Paladin Troop - Paladin FA - SR FA - SR FA - SR HS - LR HS - LR Got ya in eight! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226771-1500-pt-10-man-or-less-army/#findComment-2716314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 :) I hope you're not serious! Such an army simply cannot win games. You need to accept 40K for what it is: more than a mere skirmish game. 1500 pts, you're going to be playing on the order of 20-30 models, minimum, if you keep it pure GK.

GH05T Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Never said I planned on winning. I just want to take as much out as I can before I go down. My main draw into 40k is as an artistic outlet. Playing is fun, but I have an obsessive need to convert my models as much as possible. A 20-30 man army is impossible for me. I just want to be able to get to the gaming table with an army that I made and play with, no matter how short the game is likely to go.

Fat_Lad Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Easy, I can do it in 6. HQ - Kaldor Draigo HQ - Grandmaster with loads of equipment to bring him to about 315 points Troop - Paladin Apothecary with Falchions and psybolts Troop - Paladin Apothecary with Falchions and psybolts Heavy - Dreadknight with Personal Teleporter, Psycannon and Greatsword Heavy - Dreadknight with Personal Teleporter, Psycannon and Greatsword Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226771-1500-pt-10-man-or-less-army/#findComment-2716336 Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTAG Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Master Crafted Falchions and Stormbolter, of course. ;) Okay... To add a bit of silliness to this thread, what is the biggest point value you can get in one FOC with less than 15 models. :( Bonus points for a coherent theme. Double bonus points if you qualify for an Apoc game.

number6 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 So long as you are crystal clear on the fact that such an army -- including all the ones that came before my post, the one in my post, and all the ones that come after my post --will be absolutely destroyed in every game you play ... here's how I would try and build a fun HeroHammer GK army. HQ [275 pts] Kaldor Draigo [105 pts] Brotherhood Champion, digital weapons Elite [145 pts] Vindicare Assassin [195 pts] Venerable Dreadnought, 2x TLAC, psybolts [195 pts] Venerable Dreadnought, 2x TLAC, psybolts Troop [130 pts] Paladin, apothecary [115 pts] 2 Paladins, hammer, falchions Heavy Support [170 pts] Dreadknight, heavy psycannon [170 pts] Dreadknight, heavy psycannon Total: 1500 pts, 10 models Good luck! You're going to need it! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226771-1500-pt-10-man-or-less-army/#findComment-2716435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Would you accept 13? Bit high I know :( but at least you can have a better themed list and slightly more staying power? Lord Draigo= 275pts Paladin squad, 5 models with: - 1x Psycannon and Halberd - 1x Psycannon and Brotherhood Banner - Daemon Hammer - Warding staff - 1x Halberd = 360pts Paladin squad, 5 models with: - 1x Psycannon and Halberd - 1x Psycannon and Brotherhood Banner - Daemon Hammer - 2x Halberd = 340pts Stormraven - Twin Linked Multi-melta - Twin Linked Assault Cannon - Hurricane Bolter Sponsons - Psybolt Ammunition = 255pts Stormraven - Twin Linked Multi-melta - Twin Linked Assault Cannon - Hurricane Bolter Sponsons - Psybolt Ammunition = 255pts Total = 1485pts Plan is to hold both Paladin units inside a Stormraven in reserve with Draigo in the unit without the Warding staff to grant them some more survivability. The spare 15pts are probably best spent on Master-crafting those Daemon Hammers. Hell I'm tempted to collect that just for fun! Can't see it being competetive mind, one well placed demolisher cannon and it could be all over for a quarter of the army!

GH05T Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 number6- winning is definitely not the intention. just interested in using an army I made. StormTAG- I'll take that challenge. 3037pts with 14 models: Draigo 275 Grand Master 415 3 Techmarines 164 each 6 Paladin Apothecaries 155 each 3 Dreadknights 305 each Pretty sure that's right. And I didn't even add pointless psybolt ammo.

number6 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 number6- winning is definitely not the intention. just interested in using an army I made. As you wish! :lol: FWIW, my initial army list was illegal. No psycannons in Paladin units smaller than 5 models! :rolleyes: I fixed it above, if you're interested. Still 1500 pts exactly, and still 10 models. But at least it's got more firepower now, which is desperately needed for you to have any fun with it at all, methinks.
