Librarians: why take anything else?

Ok so back on target for a sec.. the libby is obviously one of the best support characters in the game. Stern does daemons and sanctuary like debby does dallas (group hugs). However I'm starting to wonder if the GM psyker build hasn't been a bit overlooked in all the dazzle over the cuirass.

 

Clocking in at 232-240 pts a grand master with psycan, nfw, liber daemonica looks too close to draigo to be worthwhile at first glance. But is that always the case? Draigo is a serious beastick and an enabler. However those two often don't mix making him an expensive taxi IF your not careful. Plus his WL trait and other powers are fixed. This isn't against lord draigo, just priming here..

 

The GM psyker build otoh, while suffering from some variance offers quite a bit of potential himself. 3 rolls on sanctic brings a very high chance (read guaranteed 1) of either gate, cleansing flame, vortex or sanctuary, and probably a combination of the 3. Then he packs a bs 5 psycannon, and finally his trait isn't fixed. While he loses the opportunity to tank with fnp/iwnd he will usually be a serious ranged presence, possibly a taxi and with 3 wounds he doesn't croak quite so quickly as the libby (which I'm finding is very easy due to the power he slings).

 

While a stock divination GM is never a bad choice by any stretch I think I'm gonna test the caster GM next. I like how he can pretty much turn a terminator squad into paladins just by his presence. 

Very nice! I'm loving the OSL

 

 

That is absolutely stunning. I would love to play against your army!

 

Thanks fellas.  I can't take personal credit though, as I PSE, rather than DIY.  I just got the first few units back from my commissioned artist, and was excited to post a pic here for y'all to enjoy.  Other pics are here in my Grey Knights gallery.  I did these pics at night, in the closet, with my phone, though, so I'll set up for some better shots when I get some spare time.  In addition to these models, I've got a Dreadknight and Grand Master on the way, and will be sending him a second Dreadknight, an Interceptor Squad, and another 10 Terminators to paint later this week.
