chaplain belisarius Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi guys, I like the new GK models (i think they are the most beautiful PA models ive ever seen!). I mostly play 1k games but am wondering-do GK struggle at this points level? Thanks! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240381-gk-at-1k/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chengar Qordath Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I found them viable at that point level. 1000 is enough for a couple strike squads packing psycannons, a Psyfleman, an HQ, and enough points left over for something fun (Dreadknight, Purifiers, or a Vindicare all spring to mind).

Drunken Angel Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Draigo and 2 Solodins are 385 pts :P There is your FOC in three models one of which very few people have an answer for at 1000 pts games all can deepstrike near end game to capture objectives. Hey just kidding ;) you would not feel much love from anyone if you took that. GK have a wide variety of options and are good at 1000 pts Inquisitors are a go to for economical HQs especially Cotaez which leaves plenty of flexibility to work on troops and elites.

Chengar Qordath Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 You can actually get a workable Draigowing at 1000 points; the biggest problem is getting stuck with one of those annoying cases of having too many leftover points to easily spend, but not enough leftover points to buy something else. Draigo: 275 5x Paladins w/ 2 Psycannons: 315 5x Paladins w/ 2 Psycannons: 315 Total 905 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240381-gk-at-1k/#findComment-2901552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Lol Draigowing at 1k, you guys are crazy :P HQ: Brotherhood Champion (100 points) Troops: (2) Justicar w/halberd, 2 x Terminators w/hammers, 2 x Terminators w/halberd+psycannon, 5 x Terminators w/halberds (450 points each) Total: 1,000 points Champ goes with one squad Walk up field Come at me bro Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240381-gk-at-1k/#findComment-2901694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon_77 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 But not too crazy.... I won a local tournament a month and a half ago with 10 paladins with dragio and ONE solodin at 1000 pts. I kept the solodin back as long as possible using Draigo's rules, and only lost two paladins total in three rounds of play.

Dingus Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Mordrak + 5 ghosts 2x 5 man Terminator squads with 1 psycannon each 1 x Psyfleman dred 1000 points right on the dot. Nice simple and 2+1 scoring units with grand strat. I found deep striking Mordrak as a sacrificial unit usually forced my opponents to react very quickly taking the pressure off my scoring units.

thade Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 At 1k points I'd go with Strike Squads in Rhinos with a Brotherhood Champion to tag along with one of them, and take a temple assassin for lolz. Vindicare is a popular choice. You could also foot slog either PA or Terminators. You have a lot of options. In short, no, I don't feel the GK dex suffers much at 1k.

nurglez Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I would happily take Draigo wing at 1000 points. As mentioned you can fit in Draigo, 10 pallies and a lone paladin. Though I'd prefer a 5 man squad, a lone one and some other toys, as a 800+ death star is rather all or nothing at that point value. Draigo 5 paladins with 2 psycannons 2x1 paladins 2 dreads Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240381-gk-at-1k/#findComment-2902027 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reclusiarch Darius Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Mordrak + 5 ghosts2x 5 man Terminator squads with 1 psycannon each 1 x Psyfleman dred 1000 points right on the dot. Nice simple and 2+1 scoring units with grand strat. I found deep striking Mordrak as a sacrificial unit usually forced my opponents to react very quickly taking the pressure off my scoring units. Dude, you have 5 less Terminators than me, and you're forced to Deepstrike. 5-man squads are worthless in combat, you need the 10-man blob to be effective. WS4 and S4/5 is just so weaksauce unless it's massed up. Also, Mordrak is a gigantic waste of points at any point level, at 1k it's criminal how much he costs. At 1k points I'd go with Strike Squads in Rhinos with a Brotherhood Champion to tag along with one of them, and take a temple assassin for lolz. Vindicare is a popular choice. You could also foot slog either PA or Terminators. You have a lot of options. In short, no, I don't feel the GK dex suffers much at 1k. Except, you can field 10 Paladins or 20 Terminators, which is more than enough to crush most other 1k lists. Don't need anti-tank really (no one is taking serious tanks at that point level), and you'll walk through their meagre firepower. Strike squads are too squishy on their own, and they have nearly zero close-combat ability. 1k is all about breaking the game by leveraging powerful Troops choices, which Knights most certainly have (Tau and Eldar are pathetic at 1k). Coteaz 3 warriors 3 warriors Dreadknight with personal teleporter, sword, g psilencer and h psycannon Dreadknight with personal teleporter, sword, h incinerator and h psycannon Dreadknight with personal teleporter, hammer, h incinerator and g psilencer If you cut off all the guns from the Dreadknights, you can afford to give the cannon fodder Razorback transports. Probably las/plas or twin assault cannon, given the Dreadknights will be stomping both tanks and infantry en-masse. HQ- 100- CoteazELS- 183- 5 Pures (2 PC, Halberd), Rhino (SL) TPS- 62- 3 Warriors, Psyback TPS- 62- 3 Warriors, Psyback TPS- 62- 3 Warriors, Psyback TPS- 62- 3 Warriors, Psyback TPS- 62- 3 Warriors, Psyback TPS- 62- 3 Warriors, Psyback HS- 115- Dreadnought HS- 115- Dreadnought HS- 115- Dreadnought :D Oh Coteaz, you so crazy :lol: . Thats an insane amount of armour for 1k. Bit lacking in the close-combat department, but if nothing else, you'll overwhelm most armies firepower at 1k.

jhrovii Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I might fast for a few months just so I can scrape together money to field that Coteaz army. Seriously, it's on my bucket list. I must try it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240381-gk-at-1k/#findComment-2902482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narse Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 3 - 10 man Strike Squads with Psybolt and 2 Psycannons 2 Xenos Inquisitors with Psychotroke Grenades and Inquisitor upgrade for the Force Sword and additional Hammerhand 1 Riffleman Dreadnought Move 6 inches shoot 70 Strength 5+ shots a turn... repeat until dead. Should the enemy do something stupid like charge your squads with Xenos Inquisitors in them don't forget to roll for Psychotroke Grenades.
