thevoodooman Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Am I right in thinking the grey Knights would never garrison a planet and instead just rely on teleporting and strike cruisers?

Psilence Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 If there was a demonic force that for some reason could not be banished, and had to be guarded, they would leave someone to watch it. If not them then the Ordos. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323308-grey-knights-garrisons/#findComment-4423475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 We're too precious and rare to waste on guard duty. The Inquisition usually stations its own Inquistional Stormtroopers, or if the threat is really dire a trusted Space Marine Chapter detachment.

Trevak Dal Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 We're too precious and rare to waste on guard duty. The Inquisition usually stations its own Inquistional Stormtroopers, or if the threat is really dire a trusted Space Marine Chapter detachment.The rarity of Astartes in general always made me dubious of the Iron Warrior complaints from the Heresy. Yea back then they had legions of ever expanding thousands, but still. Marines kick the crap outta something, Army camps the territory and holds the line if the territory comes under threat. Humanity took to and conquored many places before the Emperor decided to assume control, before there was an astronomicon, and before Astartes, humans are pretty badass when they want to be. As Jim Bobicus Imperial citizen, you never want to see a space marine. And though you would never know the difference, you would really never want to see a Grey Knight. Grey Knights are to daemon encursions as Street Judges are to crime in the Judge Dredd universe. They pascify with violence and neurolize everybody who saw them (or kill them) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323308-grey-knights-garrisons/#findComment-4423685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 You just got me to re-model my GKs' tilt shields to have a chain running from the bottom to the GK's chest mounted liber, maybe even put "PSI" on the shield Dredd-style.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Haha I imagine guard duty on Titan is how the Chapter punishes failure. Its extremely unlikely to come under attack. Hmmmm...might do a short story about that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323308-grey-knights-garrisons/#findComment-4424177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quixus Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yeah, psyker marines are few and far between, so the most inept must be protected with the best armour and/or weapons.

How are strike squads able to deepstrike, but purgators and purifiers can't? Do that not wear the same armor and have the same kind of psychic gifts as their brothers?

Technically, Strikers and Interceptors are the same, with the exact same equipment and capabilities. Unfortunately, GW does not read their own rules or fluff, and instead of giving Strikers Scout or Infiltrate to account for their fluff, they gave them Deep Strike for no apparent reason at all.

Gentlemanloser Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I still dilsike the changes from the leaked playtest. Strikes had a defined role, and all GK on initiation got a suit of TDA. Interceptors wore PA because TDA doesn't work with Personal Teleporters (let's not question the NDK! :P). But Purifiers and Purgators should never have been in PA. Purgators were designed to provide a mobile firebase, advancing with the rest of the army, and chosen from the best shots in the army. Why on earth do they wear PA when this doesn't allow them that role, while TDA would (and this is why I assume Psycannons originally had dual fire modes)? No reason other than Marine Devs do, and Centurion had yet to be thought up. Purifiers, why would this elite purity squad ditch their TDA? Ah well, what's done is done. Not worth crying over spilt milk. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323308-grey-knights-garrisons/#findComment-4425680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
