This week starts open play for league night at Fantasy Books
and Games. Usually there is a 3 week
break between organized play sessions. I
tend to use these weeks to play some of my weaker armies or like I did during
the last break, try out new units.
This break I am going to play the Grey Knights. Man, I can hear the groaning through the
internets. Trust me my list is not one
to groan about. Let’s take a look.

I don’t have a single purifier or paladin in this list. Probably will regret that. Really this list includes almost all of my
models that I have for the grey knights.
All I have left is a Dreadknight, a vindicar assassin and a rhino/razorback.
The basic idea behind this is have the strike squads combat
squad so the 2 psycannons can walk around and shoot while the razorback moves
out to deliver the second half of the squad.
The Interceptor squad can split as well to cover more ground if
needed. The Terminators can camp an objective
or deep strike in to help out where needed.
The assassins and Inquistor load up into the land raider and jump out
and attack weakened units.
My big fear is that my Henchmen will be like the wyches in
my dark elder list. They will jump out. Wreck
some face, then die to torrents of fire but I wanted to use the models that I
got for these guys. After buying a pack
of deathcult assassins, I knew I needed an alternate model. So I found the Daughters of the flame from Privateer
Press.
Then, after reading that the henchmen need an inquisitor to
be selected I started to look at the options on the GW website. I hate the Cortez model. There is some decent models for generic
inquisitors but all the heads look horrible.
So I went back to Privateer Press
and found Thyra, Flame of Sorrow. I
figure this model will fit with my henchmen quite nicely. I cut off the hands and added a different CCW
and a las pistol. I might cut off the
smokestacks and add in standard space marine backpack. I need to ask around and get some opinions
. If you have one, let me know.
That is my idea for my first Grey Knight List. I should have a good time no matter what I do win or lose. I have 2 things I don't ever have.
1. 3+ saves (man I like these)
2. Terminators (2+/5++ is nice on a troop)
the only thing that would be better is a 2+/3++ troop.... Maybe some day I will make the sword and board army.
