40KNewb: Grey Knights Primary Army List

I am working on my initial Grey Knight Army which will be:

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
  - Twin-linked Lascannons

Weighing in at 1,750 points:

HQ
- Grand Master
  - Rad Grenades
- Ordo Xenos Inquisitor
  - Scythian Venom Blade
  - 3x Servo Skulls
  - Rad Grenades
  - Psychotroke Grenades
  - Psyker upgrade, Hammerhand
Elites
- Purifier Squad x10 (still combat squading them)
  - 4x Psycannon
  - 4x Halberds
  - 2x Hammer
  - Razorback Transport
    - Psybolt ammo for Razorback
- Venerable Dreadnaught
  - Multi-melta
  - Missile Launcher
- Vindicare Assassin
Heavy Support
- Dreadnaught
  - Multi-melta
  - Missile Launcher
Fast Attack
- Storm Raven Gunship
  - Twin-linked Multi-melta
  - Twin-linked Lascannons
Troops
- Strike Squad x5
  - Razorback transport
    - Psybolt ammo for Razorback
- Strike Squad x5
  - Razorback transport
    - Psybolt ammo for Razorback
Henchmen Warband
- Death Cult Assassin x7
- Crusader x3

At 1,850 points, I use the above list, but switch out the Troop Choices to:

Troops
- Strike Squad x5
  - Razorback
    - Psybolt ammo for Razorback
- Terminator Squad x5
  - 1x Psycannon
  - 1x Warding Stave
  - 1x Hammer
  - 1x Falchions
  - 2x Halberds

* note on Terminator Squad; Grand Master will be joining this squad and can either fly with Storm Raven and have Henchmen hoof it, or let them go on Storm Raven and the Terminators hoof it. The Warding Stave allows for some wound allocation while hoofing it and the variety of weapons stays in fluff of the Grey Knight terminators.

2,000 Points

This list follows the plan for the 1,750 point list, including Troop choices and adds the following:

Henchmen Warband
- Add Chimera Transport
  - Heavy Bolter
  - Heavy Flamer
Heavy Support
- Nemesis Dreadknight
  - Heavy Incinerator
  - Gatling Psilencer

I doubt I will play many games above 2,000 points but I plan on the following if it does happen:

2,250 points

Use the 2,000 point list plus:

Heavy Support
- Dreadnaught
  - Multi-melta
  - Missile Launcher
Fast Attack
- Interceptor Squad x5

2,500 points:

Use the 2,250 point list plus:

Troops
- Strike Squad x10
  - Razorback transport
    - Psybolt ammo for Razorback

3,000 points:

Use the 2,500 point list plus:

Fast Attack
- Storm Raven Gunship
  - Twin-linked Multi-melta
  - Twin-linked Lascannons
  - Typhoon Missile Launcher
Troops
- Terminator Squad x5
  - 1x Psycannon
  - 1x Brotherhood Banner
  - 1x Warding Stave
  - 1x Hammer
  - 2x Halberd
