Starting 2k Grey Knights list

[fedratsailor]

Using the Nemesis Strike Force, This is the list im planning on testing out using Maelstrom Missions.

every squad but the purifiers will combat squad, increasing the amount of units and WC's. The Librarians will join separate TDA squads.
the only thing I don't like is the purifiers in the Raven, but I don't see any better options for getting them into the game.

Librarian, ML3, Nemesis Force Sword, SB
Librarian, ML3, Nemesis Force Halberd, SB

Purifier Squad, Nemesis Falchions

Grey Knight Strike Squad, 2x Incinerator
Grey Knight Terminator Squad
1 Terminator Justicar, Nemesis Force Sword
7 Terminators, Nemesis Force Sword
2 Terminators, Nemesis Daemonhammer, Psycannon

Stormraven Gunship TLLC, TLMM
Grey Knight Interceptor Squad, 2x Incinerator

Nemesis Dreadknight, Teleporter, Heavy Incinerator
Nemesis Dreadknight, Teleporter, Heavy Incinerator

Comments and Concerns greatly welcome.

I was thinking of a list really close to this one. The only thing I see lacking is anti tank. You have a raven and two termies and that's really it. I might suggest putting heavy psycannons on the knights and toss another hammer in there somewhere. If that is a full squad of purifiers I think you can still combat squad them in the transport for more dice and double c flame!

Other then that, I would love to see how it turns out!

Thanks I want to build a 2nd purifier unit that has 5 halberds, 4 incinerators and a hammer, though I'm not sure that combat squading it would work. I can also swap out both librarians for a grand master that has the curiass, soul glaive, and a psycannon. That would free up points to upgrade a NDK with a heavy psycannon. I'll write a modified list and post it when I get home from work.

Grand Master, Cuirass of Sacrifice, Soul Glaive, Psycannon

Purifier Squad(10), 4x Incinerator, 5x Halberd, Daemonhammer

Nemesis Dreadknight, Teleporter, Heavy Incinerator, Heavy Psycannon

leaves 5 points, could give a NDK a hammer. ???

Looks good. I would tone down the grand master to a level 3 librarian with combimelta. Use the spare points to tool up both dreadknights with 2 shooty weapons also a sword/hammer as the default fists are no longer force weapons.

I would always give the NDK a sword, It is our best 2+ save killer as well as best anti tank. And when ever you get into combat with it, every hit counts. Also, with tougher and/or multi wound models that sword (or hammer as well) gives you *force*, so you can Instant Death stuff that you wouldn't with str 10.. Also, if there are units with daemon usr present, you get to re-roll wound and armor penetrations with sword or hammer..

Also for your list 2:
- You can only get 1 Relic / model from the list. Now you currently have 2, so that is invalid setup.
- I would also drop the GK Strike Squad. That is around 220 points That you can ofc deep strike, but after that they are really slow and get shot to bits rather easily.

If you dont like the raven, how about dropping it and gk ss, that gives you 420 points to tweak your list. Use that 50 point extra for a land raider (iirc you only got 2 hs slots, so as a dedicated to termies), get a next h. psycannon for NDK, get those librarians back, and depending on how they take up remaining points, get one squad of 5 purifiers or GK ss (if my calculations were even close of being correct) to act as end field objective holders, flank protectors or just to cast spells successfully, if that was your maelstorm mission..

I have the models for list 1, list 2 I can get the new NDK and purifiers this weekend. otherwise I can't make any additional change's.

[fedratsailor]

So ive got my 2k nemesis strike force list and a separate 3k list of all my Grey knight models. Hope to get a game next weekend with either list or both combined.
