Grey Knights....

[StrategicCommand]

Can Anyone give me their opinion of a Grey Knight Army?  How hard is it to play? How much A** dp they kick? Are they hard to paint? etc...

[Ed]

you have like no models cause they are so many points but i very fun army imo.

There are multiple ways to play grey knight armies.  The straight force is pure pewter and costs a metric boatload of money, but even with the current point cost, they do alright.

GK lack alot of long range punch if you are playing a straight army, so some people like to do a mix of guard/marines/gk.

They work very well as a contingent to a guard army.

Ed did the other inquisition the witch hunters yesterday ad it was pretty good. imo i would wait until the newcodex is out according to rumors it is this year. this means plastic models and new stuff, plus witch hunters and grey knights. rumors are they are changing it so they include entries for the guard, marines, etc so you dont have to buy 3 codexes.

overall grey knights are cool, they all have power or force weapons and if you have a lot of friends that play daemons (or csm with daemons) then they can be nasty.

im just getting ito it myself but i hope that helps

I too am thinking about Grey Knights but have resolved to wait for the new codex.  Rumors say a new codex is around the corner but I would prefer to not have another codex less army.

Thanks for all the great information. I am wondering becuase I had gotte na Grye Knight army a long time ago for little money and I listed it on Ebay but not sure if I should keep it now. 


1 Brother Stern
11 Grey Knight Marines
31 Grey Knight Terminators.


Not sure if thats a good start or if I should sell em and use the $$$ at BG for IG stuff or another army.

The plastics that are rumored to come out will undoubtedly look different than the models you have now.  Keep that in mind.

[skavengear]

are they really going to be that different? a grey knightis pretty iconic looking, i wouldnt sell 31 terminators, there are tons of people who will want those at the store, maybe even yourself.

[Ed]

if you want to sell them i'd trade store credit for them i dont know when i'd be able to trade tho because i have other items coming in to the store well that is i hope so maybe a week from this date. that is if you still don't want them but i'd say keep them cause they are a pretty fun army.

[StrategicCommand]

Ok so I sold half of them... Keeping 5 grey knight marines and 10 terminators just to add to my guard army. A Landraider and dreadnoughts and I can have a nice small force.
