My Grey Knights Finalized List

It's been weeks in the progress, but I've finally come up with my final Grey Knight list and the one that I am going to buy, build and paint towards. First off, some thoughts on how I got here. When I chose to go with the Grey Knights as my first army it was a combination of it being the new kid on the block, like myself and a fairly cheap and easy army to get in comparrison to other armies - at least thats what I told myself. It also appeared to be one of the easier paint jobs and in my hands I had several tutorials for Grey Knights.

Then came the hard part. Did I go pure Grey Knights? What about the big 3 that I wanted in an army? (The big 3 was the Dreadknight, the Stormraven and the Land Raider and I was content to get 2) So slowly I built up the following list, which builds upon itself as it grows with a couple shifts... and here it is:

At 500 points (expected to play by end of Sept.):

  • HQ
    • Castellan Crowe
  • Troops
    • Purifier Squad x5
      • 2x Psycannons
      • 2x Halberds
      • 1x Hammer
    • Purifier Squad x5
      • 2x Psycannons
      • 2x Halberds
      • 1x Hammer
      • Razorback Transport
        • Psybolt Ammo for Razorback
This allows me what I think is a pretty good small army. Purifiers are superior IMO to regular Grey Knights and I have at least one unit that has some mobility and cover. I expect to use Crowe in smaller games like this as a tarpit.

At 1,000 Points:

  • HQ
    • Castellan Crowe
  • Troops
    • Purifier Squad x10
      • 4x Psycannons
      • 4x Halberds
      • 2x Hammers
      • Razorback Transport
        • Psybolt ammo for Razorback
    • Purifier Squad x5
      • 2x Psycannon
      • 2x Halberds
      • 1x Hammer
      • Razorback Transport
        • Psybolt ammo for Razorback
  • Elite
    • Venerable Dreadnaught
      • Multi-melta
      • Missile Launcher
  • Heavy Support
    • Dreadnaught
      • Multi-melta
      • Missile Launcher
* note about the 10-man Purifier Squad; will combat squad them, with the assaulty squad getting the Razorback.

At 1,500 points:

  • HQ
    • Castellan Crowe
  • Troops
    • Purifier Squad x10 (as above)
    • Purifier Squad x5 (as above)
    • Strike Squad x5
      • Razorback Transport
        • Psybolt ammo for Razorback
  • Elite
    • Venerable Dreadnaught (as above)
    • Vindicare Assassin
  • Fast Attack
    • Storm Raven Gunship
      • Twin-linked Multi-melta

I'll go over the next steps in my army list in the next post.
