My grey knight list **in progress**

[Castellan Blackmane]

Hey guys, here's my work in progress 2500 point list feel free to chip in.

Terminators out the ass

 

Librarian in termie armour ML3

Relics- domina liber daemonica

 

Termienators x10

Flachions 

flamers

2 hammers just in case(maybe?)

 

Dreadknight

Greatsword

Teleporter

Psilencer

 

Castellan crowe

And 10 purifiers w/2 incinerators, 2 hammers and 8 falchions

 

Stormraven w/ lascannon multimelta

 

9 paladins with 1 hammer, 7 halberds, 2 psycannons, 1 psilencer, apothecary, brotherhood banner

 

Vanilla dreadnought+ heavy flamer(rides in the back of storm raven to drop in and distract)

 

2 x 5 man interceptor squads

Flamer each

Teleport homer each

 

Is it worth ditching an upgrade or two to make  dreadnought venerable to maximise chance of the melta shot hitting? Give your thoughts, its my first full GK List so be gentle.

[Reclusiarch Darius]

Librarian in termie armour ML3

Relics- domina liber daemonica

 

Yeah this is fine. I run mine with a hammer and nothing else normally, but Liber and ML3 is fine. 

Termienators x10

Flachions 

flamers

2 hammers just in case(maybe?)

 

Terminators should always have psycannon. It's a mandatory upgrade. I'd drop the falchions personally, they're already 2A base. 2 hammers is a good idea, the usual ratio is 1 per 5. 

Dreadknight

Greatsword

Teleporter

Psilencer

 

Heavy psycannon is a mandatory upgrade for the DK. I'd keep the gat psilencer if you can, it's a great little utility piece. I'd get another DK, one is too easily killed. 

Castellan crowe

 

Colossal waste of points. Get another Librarian instead

10 purifiers w/2 incinerators, 2 hammers and 8 falchions

 

Well incinerators replace their melee weapon as well, so you've got illegal upgrades here. I'd drop all the upgrades, they don't need them. Purifiers are for anti-infantry, you should have enough hammers and DK's to handle high AV or high Toughness. 

Stormraven w/ lascannon multimelta

 

Good choice for transporting the Purifiers. 

9 paladins with 1 hammer, 7 halberds, 2 psycannons, 1 psilencer, apothecary, brotherhood banner

 

Throne no. You can get twice as many Terminators for the same points. Get 2 more 10-man squads instead. 

Vanilla dreadnought+ heavy flamer(rides in the back of storm raven to drop in and distract)

 

Waste of points. Get another Dreadknight instead.

2 x 5 man interceptor squads

Flamer each

Teleport homer each

 

They're gonna die before those teleport homers get used. And if you're taking a Nemesis Strikeforce (which you should be doing), your Terminators turn up before you can move out of your DZ anyway. I'd drop these, at 2.5k they're quite fragile.

Your Dreadnought just becomes a even more colossal waste of points with Venerable. Drop it entirely. 

 

2.5k is the last stage of the game before Apoc really starts (at 3k). You should expect serious firepower, serious melee threats, and a lot more pressure to alpha-strike effectively. 

 

I think we really need Allies at 2.5k. Which you take is up to you. I like Blood Angels a lot, for several reasons. Firstly, 'Quickening' from Sanguimancy is hilarious on DK's and our characters, +D3 Initiative and Attacks is huge. Secondly, they roll on Divination as well with their Librarians. Thirdly, they have Scouts for Infiltrating+Scouting teleport homers (like vanilla Marines), and empty FA drop pods (for stuffing Purifiers inside). Imperial Guard offer significant ground presence, cheap tanks and lots of firepower (even cheap psykers as well). Space Wolves have TWC who offer a potent melee unit to draw fire off your DK's and Terminators.
