Only problem I see is I have no idea where to put Crowe and the libby. I figure I can run them behind the rhino wall and keep them out of sight until a rhino gets opened up.
It pumps out 20 S8 shots a turn from 48" a turn. Then once you get up close you're looking at 32 S7 rending shots. Did I mention you can't really reduce my shooting at all until you wreck my tanks, most of which should be running around with 3+ cover.
Thougths?
Overall I like the list although I have not seen the codex yet. Just what everyone is posting.
ReplyDeleteTwo HQ running behind some tanks sounds like they are holding a flag saying "Shoot me!". They look easy prey for any suicidal assassin unit. I would look at getting a terminator squad instead of one of the Dreads to give them some protection.
Also your cover save is based off casting spells which will not always work against some opponents.
I'd drop the 2 Venerables for 6 Paladins w/2 Psycannons and find a place for the remaining 20pts. Same number of shots just at St7 Rending instead of St8. Gives you a place for you Librarian. Very survivable w/the librarian casting shrouding. And gives you an decent hammer unit.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to see how Grey Knights actually fare when the codex is officially released. The hype is really crazy this time around. I have read the codex and rank them equal to Deamon Hunters when the 3rd codex was released. This is the most misunderstood codex I can ever remember. I think they will be okay but not nearly as good as all the fanfare floating around on the Internet.

Agreed Hulksmash, after talking to my friend about it we decided that instead of the 2 venerabls it's better to have 5 paladins with 2 psy cannons and an apothecary.
ReplyDeleteI tested the list against my demons, my my tyranids and my vulkan marines. Every game was a blow out. The score of the demon game was 220 VP's-1613, with tyranids, it was 170-1780, and marines was 550-1430. Every game was won handily by the grey knights, but the real test will come when they have to face mech guard and dark eldar.
