Hello all,

 

So after playing regular Marines for a while, I'm working on building my favorite army: Grey Knights! I wanted to go in a more balanced direction than the all Dreadknights all the time lists while still being fairly competitive, and this is what I have at the moment. I also have another version of this with Kaldor Draigo instead of the librarian with fewer paladins and some toys removed to compensate. I do really like the Paladins, and would want at least one squad with some terminators included somewhere, but the sheer durability of the Paladins when sitting on a midfield objective seems like a good deal. The Grand Master in Nemesis Dreadknight is pretty standard, I've fit in 2 regular Dreadknights and 20 Interceptors... my personal pet choice is the Chaplain, because Chaplains are cool and having words of power on a huge squad of Interceptors sounds bonkers, so I'm curious if anyone's had any success with him. 

 

Secondary-wise, I'm figuring Engage on All Fronts, Purifying Ritual and either something enemy-specific or Retrieve Nachmund Data. I'm mostly figuring Strike Squads will manage this while the Interceptors and Grand Master get in close, Paladins hold the middle and the Dreadknights handle range / enemy deep-strikers. Of course, all the deep striking and teleporting allows for a lot of adaptability, which I really like and makes possible objectives I can achieve more diverse. Suggestions welcome.

 

The local meta is mostly Space Marines of various kinds, Aeldari, Tau, Necrons and Tyranids. Occasional Orks and various kinds of Chaos Marines. Haven't seen anyone roll up with Knights, Sisters, Admech or Custodes. (Pretty grateful for the latter given that 4+++  against mortal wounds on Emperor's Chosen.) It's actually fairly diverse as things go, but even if it wasn't I wouldn't want to metagame crazy hard; that said, it does have serious armies fielded by good players.

Welcome to the brotherhood good sir! Looks like a great list,The words of power bombs are awesome, they hit way above their weight class. I like the paladin edition, I would recommend to give them AR and EC to start the game then change to hammer hand or purifying flame as needed. And for secondaries I'd suggest considering stranglehold and grind. Should be able to dice marines with ease, I'd focus on the eldar Tau and nid matchups. If you have any questions on it let me know.
