shortysl Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Had my very first 1v1 match using my Grey Knights on Tuesday. It was a 2000 point match vs. Imperial Guard and it was spectacular! My list was as follows: H.Q Grand Master with Rad Grenades. Inquisitor Coteaz. Troops 2x 7-man Terminator Squads with Psycannon, Hammer, 2x Falchions and 4x Halberds. Elites 9x Purifiers with Incinerator, 3x Halberds, 2x Falchions, Hammer and 2x Swords. Vindicare Assassin. Fast Attack Stormraven Gunship. Heavy Support Nemesis Dreadknight with Heavy Psycannon and Nemesis Greatsword. Purgation Squad with 4x Psycannons and Razorback with Twin Heavy Bolters. We rolled up an Annihilation mission with Standard set up. First turn saw my gunship destroy a Vendetta gunship and a Leman Russ Executioner. From then on it was an absolute slaughter; Coteaz used I've Been Expecting You to great effect alongside the Purgation Squad, the Purifers with attached Grand Master were absolute monsters, annihilating a 30-man Infantry Platoon along with the Company Command Squad and a Heavy Weapons Squad. The Vindicare Assassin destroyed a Chimera and a Leman Russ Battle Tank, and the Terminators and Nemesis Dreadknight rolled up the middle dealing out death to everything they encountered. By game's end, I believe I had 15 out of 17 available Kill Points, compared to my opponent having 0 out of 10 Kill Points! Truly are the Grey Knights a magnificent force.

shortysl Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'm not a power player by any stretch of the imagination, I started a Knight army because I like their background, not their strength. The owner of the Guard army is a good friend of mine, but I'd be foolish not to get excited about just how deadly the Grey Knights are.

Toasterfree Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 were the purgations with coteaz inside the razorback? if so, by the FAQ you cannot use his ability since it is not a shooting attack, and the RZBK not having any firepoints the only thing that could shoot would be the back itself.

They began the game inside the Razorback but they had disembarked by the time Coteaz got to use I've Been Expecting You. To be honest, I only gave the Purgation Squad a transport in the first place so that I could get them into that 24" sweet zone a little bit sooner.
