Scott80 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hi all Hope this is in the correct thread Is it possible to use any other flyer for my grey knight army other than the storm raven? I've been looking at the forgeworld flyers like the caestus ram, storm eagle and the fire raptor, are an of these legal for the GK please.

Everon Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Thunderhawk and Marauder are lords of war. Otherwise need allies Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297602-grey-knight-flyers/#findComment-3825695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott80 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks Everon Thunder hawk is £400+ so that's out. I will look at the marauder. Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297602-grey-knight-flyers/#findComment-3825733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everon Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Marauder might be too. 200 £. I dont have its stats but I have seen it as a bs 3 11 11 10 9 hp super heavy. Comes with 5 bombs 3 tl autocannons a tl assault cannon tl lascannon and tl heacy bolter. Can upgrade to add 8hellstorm missle on the destroyer variant. On bomber variant its 25 points less has 10 bombs no autocannons and no missles. They will be under imperial navy section Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297602-grey-knight-flyers/#findComment-3825751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott80 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Yes marauder if £200. It looks like the raven will have to do lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297602-grey-knight-flyers/#findComment-3825949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
casb1965 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Plain Inquisitor in a Valkyrie as an allied detachment? 150 points and you can fit 12 models in there.

Frater Cornelius Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 There's also the Stormwolf/-fang, and as opposed to IG the SW come with additional benefits like empty drop pods to put in your GK buddies. If that is not an option I have to second the Inquisitorial Valks. They offer pretty decent value for their points and help a lot of horde control.

Scott80 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 I play a lot of Tau mainly so I suppose my biggest threat are riptides. I need the fier power but I do like the transport capability. Casp, by plain inquisitor does the cheap 25point Oder xenos inquisitor count? I'm thinking put plasma syphon on him in the Valkyrie with 10 purifiers. Stops tau shooting back at me a bit and then can unload purifiers? Is this allowed? Thanks for the help all Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297602-grey-knight-flyers/#findComment-3826215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help all Cheers Oh yes, 25pts for an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor and 125 for the Valkyrie, throw in whatever troops you want with it. 10pts for the Plasma Syphon so you'd be spending 160 points for that. If you have the points another 50pts will get you an Ordo hereticus and Null Rod to stop you being targeted by Psykers and it doesn't stop the Purifiers Cleansing Flame form working :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297602-grey-knight-flyers/#findComment-3826236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Plasma syphon is terrible, do not do that. Riptides don't care, neither do MissileSides, and Crisis can simply stay out of range of the syphon and still gun you down (plus fusion blasters aren't affected by it). Mass pulse fire isn't what kills us normally, its their AP2 at long-range. To deal with Riptides, you need Dreadknights, pure and simple. Nothing else will take them down fast enough. Your only other option that might work is Terminators or Purifiers with hammers delivered via Storm Raven. If you can't ignore their armour save and Instant Death them, you might as well give up. 4x T6 wounds with 2+/3+ and FNP will take too long to wear down with ranged attacks.
