Any tips and strategies?

[Captain Antargo]

I am starting Grey knights, and I and I am not too experienced with them so do you have any tips, advice or strategies to share?

First - forget about competive play and taking tournaments, unless you want challange and half of your army being allies. GK is probably the worst mono-army in current meta.

 

If you are OK with it, start with couple of boxes of strike squad and at least one paladins box. You will need 15-20 basic Grey knights to fill troops slot and 10-15 interceptrors later. Use paladins box to make Grand Master, Brother-Captain, Apothecary and Brotherhood Ancient. You can keep the last terminator for later, but I made a second apothecary from it. 

 

Then - a Venerable Dreadnought. You want from 1 to 3. Nemesis Dreadknights are still viable in form of Grandmasters in NDK. They are not what they used to be, but I'd take one just in case. You also want our named characters - Draigo, Stern, Crowe, Voldus. They are not auto-take, but you will need them depending on the situation. And a techmarine - he is our cheapest HQ right now, so you'll need him to fill HQ slot, when short on points.

 

You'll probably want 10 paladins too - new bolter discipline buffed them more, than one could thought. 

 

As for loadouts - strikes and interceptors are best wilth falchions, because of only 1 attack. Justicars can try halberds, as they already have 2 attacks. Psilencer is only special weapon, which is worth it. Paladins can go with halbers, couple of warding staves and 4 psiclencers. You can also give Paragon a hammer, of you have spare points. Apothecary is best with hammer or halberd. Same for other characters. Best weapon for GMNDK is sword, but it is better to magnetize it. Ranged weapons can hold even without magnets and all 3 are viable depending on situation. VenDreads - lascannon+autocannon or missile launcher. 

 

Our best strategy right now is to maximize smites and bolter fire, while venerable dreads provide long ranged support. IG or AdMech allies are nice for generating command poitns and holding backfield objectives. Inquisition can be nice support too, especially FW Hector Rex. Assassins are always hadny, especially Vindicare.
