InquisitorTynain Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Ok so I bought a bunch of the new Gk stuff, I played the old DH dex for a long time and stopped when 5th came out. I am gonna list here what I have and see what the consensus is on what I should build. Thanks ahead of time guys. 10 Gk Termies 20 Gk Knights 1 Dreadknight Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229163-build-my-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prathios Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 You need to get some dreadnoughts, and rhinos/razorbacks along with more PAGK. It would be a good idea to split the knights you have into SS and Purifiers and then use the new kits to make interceptors. Stormraven or Landraider wouldn't hurt for options. But yeah, make Dreads and transports your next purchase. With what you have you can create some paladins or GKT troops. Toss in a Vindecare when you have the money.

InquisitorTynain Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 everything listed is the newest gen kits. i was considering 2-3 dreads and a couple rhinos. The storm raven is hot but i dont see needing to move quite so close to combat with howthry designed the new book....maybe i am wrong ?

Prathios Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I only suggested the Raven for versatility. Well if everything is new, I'd go ahead and make the GKT troops and give yourself a full squad of purifiers and a full strike squad, you should get another kit for interceptors as well, they are pretty amazing. The Dreads and Rhinos are a great start, you should buy an Aegis defense line for each dread as well so you have a pair of autocannons.

Brovius Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I took the fast way out and converted my Interceptors from the old metal PAGKs. Gave them the new plastic weapons and Teleport Packs, and the came up pretty cool. They're in my gallery, if you want to check them out Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229163-build-my-army/#findComment-2748967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
InquisitorTynain Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks guys !!! So what the ruling on the Dreadknight ? Just a fancy toy ? Or can he be used to deliver Heavy Psycanon and Silencer death ? Ive kinda envisioned him as a large nast weapon platform...

Ive kinda envisioned him as a large nast weapon platform... People debate it, I think most level heads have said they are worth taking. Most folks seem to like him with just doomfists and a heavy incinerator or greatsword and incinerator, and sometimes just plain doomfists.

Zagman Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I have been running my dreadkinght with a great sword, heavy incinerator, and a personal teleporter. It is pricey, but its a phenomenally powerful unit. When done right you can magnetize the spare fist, the sword, and use two of the three heavy weapons as clip ons. The only thing I didn't make out of my first kit(I have 3) was the hammer and the Gatling Psilencer. If you have any of the old metal PAGK, run them as purifiers. Make the new kits into either GKSS or GKIS neither of which should be given halberds. Run a daemon hammer and justicar in each ten man squad with two psycannons. Just build the termies, I have run mine as paladins which reduces the need for halberds. If you plan on running regular terminators you'll need a pretty even mix of halberds and swords with a Daemon hammer for roughly each five terminators. Also, build both psycannons, I usually put them on the hammer model.

Something Wycked Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 You'd need a few more boxes of Knights to go this route, but here's what I'm doing. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229163-build-my-army/#findComment-2749683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
