undeadfilth Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I've already decided that my next long term goal is a 2.5k GK Psycannon army. I've written two lists and am having a hard time deciding which would be best. C&C greatly needed. Thanks! Army 1: Castellan Crowe 6x ten man purifier squads with 4x psycannons 3x five man purgation squads with 4x psycannons An eight man purifyer squad with 2x psycannons 2498/2500pts Not sure about what to do with the eight man squad in this list. Might be okay. My main concern is that I'll just be hiding my HQ every match to avoid giving opponet bonus VPs. Comes to 84 models with 38 psycannons and 46 bolters. Army 2: 2x Ordo Malleus Inquisitors with TDA and Psycannons 3x ten man purifiers with 4x psycannons 3x five man purgations with 4x psycannons 4x ten man Strike squads with 2x psycannons A four man jokaero squad for lascannons 2500/2500 I like the idea of the inquisitors in this list more than the crowe list since they actually contribute to the psycannon theme of the army better. The Jokaeros seemed to be the best way to fill out 140 pts with ranged power. Other than that i kind of like this list more than the crowe one. 4x lascannons, 34 psycannons, and 53 stormbolters. More firepower in this list i think with more tactical options since there arw more squads and bodies on the board(91). I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261644-trying-to-decide/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well the second list has psychic powers added too. So thats another big plus. In a shooty army I think re-roll to hit or something else that buffs shooting is really important.

undeadfilth Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Where are those psychic powers coming from? I don't have codex in front of me right now. Are they from inquisitors or something? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261644-trying-to-decide/#findComment-3184380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Inquisitors can buy psyker upgrade for some points. Totally worth it. They gain a force weapon and a psychic power. Usually people take divination spell from the rule book. The primaris power there is re-roll to hit for a whole unit. Combine that with 4 psycannons plus the inquisitors psycannon (if he is in the same unit) and you have 20 bullets with re-rolls.

undeadfilth Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Omg that is amazing! Thank you so much:) anything else you would recommend? I think to make that work I'll just drop the jokaeros from the second list. That will leave me 80 points left over to have to figure out what to do with them though... Any suggestions?

Vash Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Psybolt ammunition on your strike squads is never wrong if you have points to spare. S5 bolter shots really helps.

undeadfilth Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. Vash thank you.

I'm starting to get into building my army also, so threads like these are always a big help. Vash is quite helpful.

But the librarian costs alot more to field. But he is mastery level 2 or 3, so he gets either 2 or 3 random spells (of course the re-roll to hit power is allways available since its the primaris power).

undeadfilth Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 So, since the squads themselves are psykers, can you swap out their powers too? Rock the dinination reroll on all of the sauads? Sounds too good to be true...

Sounds too good to be true... It is to good to be true ;) Units are Brother hood of psykers. So per say they are not Psykers with mastery level. I would recommend a visit to GWs site and download the Grey Knight FAQ. Grey Knight FAQ link There you can find what lvls each character is and what psychic power schools they can chose.

undeadfilth Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yeah, I already have the FaQs printed out for all of my other armies, though it's not as immediate of a concern for this army since it might be a while before I have everything bought and painted for these guys. So this is the list that I've decided to go with. It may be slow going getting it all but I'm excited. 2x Ordo Malleus Inquisitors: TDA Psycannon, Psyker(divination) Does the Grey Knights terminator box come with enough goodies to where I can convert them relatively easy with just one box? 3x 10 man Purifiers with 4x psycannons 4x 10 man Strikes with 2x psycannons and psybolt ammo 3x 5 man purgations with 4x psycannons Comes to 34 psycannons, 32 S5 Stormbolters, and 21 S4 Stormbolters:) Guh! That's 17 boxes of Grey Knights... Ouch. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261644-trying-to-decide/#findComment-3187652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 The Grey Knight Terminator box comes with alot of goodies. Thre should be enough to make two Inquisitors, but only one will have a Psycannon, as the box only contains one.

undeadfilth Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well, I might be able to find someone with an extra terminator psycannon at my hobby shop. All else fails, there are tons of bit sites that would be happy to take my money lol:P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261644-trying-to-decide/#findComment-3187724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
