Stratagem cherrypick


Joukernaut

Recommended Posts

I'm attending a tournament next weekend in my local gaming store and decided to take my grey knights for a spin.

The tournament let's you take four and only four of the codex stratagems.

 

A straight forward question: If you had to pick four stratagems to use during a tournament with eternal war and maelstrom missions, wich ones would it be?

 

I've also posted a list in the list section, If you would be so kind to take a look and provide me some feedback?

You can find it here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354089-grey-knights-1250-for-local-tournament/?p=5263232

I'm experienced in 40K, but very new to grey knights.

Oh that's easy. 

  • Heed the Prognosticars (+1 on a characters invul)
  • Psychic Onslaught or Psybolt Ammunition
  • Only in Death Does Duty End, Truesilver Armor or The Aegis
  • Wisdom of the Ancients if you're using a Dreadnought (if you don't have a Dread just fill this spot in with one of the above you didn't take)

 

Grey Knights don't have that many great Stratagems after all. :sweat:

Heed is autotake if you use GMNDKs. Psybolt with 40 bolter shots is one of the best way to deal ranged damage. Only in death to fight with a character after death. Others are too situational. Truesilver for 5+ FnP on GMNDK can be helpful, or Psychic Channeling for 3 dice cast is useful for Vortex.

I'm probably using a GM in dreadknight armour, so "heed the prognosticator" is definitely in, no question.

I'm probably going to use "psychic onslaught" or "psybolt ammunition" as well, which would you rate best?

 

Next I'm torn between taking the psychic onslaught or psybolt so I have both, taking the "aegis for extra psychic defence", "only in death does duty end" for some extra damage or "teleportation boost" for maelstrom objective coverage.

 

At the moment, after reading your suggestions and taking into account my practice game and the tournament's rules pack, my picks will probably be:

  1. Heed the prognosticar
  2. Psybolt ammunition
  3. Psychic onslaught
  4. The aegis

The list I plan on bringing is here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354089-grey-knights-1250-for-local-tournament/?p=5263232

 

My biggest issue is these are all 2CP, thus making my use out of them very limited.

 

Something tells me I'm probably better off taking my ultramarines or orks to the tournament, but I haven't used the grey knights a whole lot since I painted them during last years ETL, so I'm determined to give them some playtime.
