Liba terminatus Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hey guys I was wondering if I could get some help with making an army list for my school's 600pts matches. At the moment I have in model options: Brother captain stern (can be termie equivalent hq) 5x grey knight terminators 5x power Armour grey knights (five more on their way) Vindicare Assasin nemesis dreadknight Castellen crowe (when availible) And possibly a terminator librarian As you can probably see I'm a bit short on models... Armies I am facing at the moment: orks (quite a few mechs) and a lot of space marines which tend to use chapter master and a dreadnought (basically the black reach set) All opinions are welcome.

lordsloth Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I think a henchmanless grey knights force at 600 pts might be tricky. Nevertheless, that shouldnt stop you from trying! You have some options depending on what you want. You can go gimmicky and try to include the dreadknight at 600pts but then you'll end up underequipping your grey knights. You can go for solid built-out troop choices but then you probably wont have more than the mandatory HQ + 2TR (Brocap/Libby(1 extra power)+5termies w psyc + 10 gkss w 2 psyc is probably already gonna be near enough to 600 pts as it is). You can go completely crazy and only use 5 models ;) Draigo paladins at 600 pts!

Liba terminatus Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Forgot to mention I also go up against a pure melee tyranid player (rare when this happens though) Terminatus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226825-help-with-600pts-grey-knights/#findComment-2716957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiad Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Mmm, small points challenge and quite a challenge at that. At least there is enough here to make a legal army list. Well as no one else wants to give it a spin..: -------- HQ Grey Knight Librarian (Use Stern if the other model is unavailable) - Quicksilver, Shrouding, and Warp Rift [165 Points] You'll be using Shrouding quite a bit, if your units are in cover with it the better. Warp Rift will be good against orks and armour as you don't have much firepower. Troops Grey Knight Strike Squad - [100 Points] Grey Knight Terminators - Incinerator, Thunderhammer [205 Points] Heavy Dreadknight - [130 Points] No room for upgrades unfortunately. Alternative Suggestions The list above is recommended. If you don't like it feel free to swap out the Librarian or Dreadknight for the following. The Inquisitor(s) could be an alternative if you're up for conversions: Ordo Malleus Inquisitor - Terminator Armour, Daemonhammer, Psycannon [80 Points] Swapping this for the Dreadknight would allow you to kit out your other squads. Alternatively you could take two in exchange for the Librarian... Brotherhood Champion (using Castellan Crowe) [100 Points] Not the highest of recommendations but with a re-rollable 3++ in assault he's a cheap tank and with Heroic Sacrifice he may upset that dreadnought/chapter master. -------- It's not much, but it makes use of what's there. Go in with fun foremost in mind and you'll have a great time. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226825-help-with-600pts-grey-knights/#findComment-2717097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Xeones Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I actually think that the Brotherhood Champion is not too bad for this level of points. Shrouding would really be helpful considering the low body count, but the add points saved by taking a stock BHC will allow you to get some decent wargear on your guys. Oiad's list is a pretty good option, here's another: Brotherhood Champion 10-man Strike Squad: 2x psycannons 1x hammer 5-man Terminator Squad: 1x psycannon, 4x Halberds, 1x Hammer 45 points left over for perhaps a razorback or something? I know you didn't list a Razorback in your available models, but those extra 45 points would be great to add some mobility and firepower. Otherwise, I suppose you could just add some extra wargear...

Liba terminatus Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Right Ive decided to take your (sorta) advice and have bought myself a razorback :D so any could also add in this for some helpful army list making =] Terminatus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226825-help-with-600pts-grey-knights/#findComment-2724658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackbar Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 for such a small points value, I like Brotherhod champion, psybolt ammo Strike Squad (10) 2 psycannons, psybolt ammo, master crafted hammer Terminator Squad (5) psycannon, master crafted hammer, 4 halberds 10 points left to spend where you please The razorback is a great option, too, though. Never hurts to give them a lot of targets to worry about.
