Really happy with gk codex

[Ed]

I dont even care about the grey knights.
I so happy i can have a whole Henchmen army. LIKE REALLY HAPPY.

GO MONKEY GO!

There is some real strength there in the all henchman list.

You can make a hard hitting hth unit but they they won't be able to survive the retailation.

[Ed]

Well i was worried because my gk army only had one squad of gks i have like one 6 man termie squad.
So all my stormtroopers arn't going to collect dust anymore

Figuring that each monkey supposedly will come in its own blister pack, we reasoned that a 36 monkey list (6 squads of 6) with Inquisitor Coteaz would come in at just under 2000 points... and somewhere around $400!

[Grimwulfe]

The monkey list will fail. 

[the_trooper]

I think the 6 x 6 monkey list is the best thing to come out of that voltron sporting codex.

[Benjamin]

The monkey list will fail. 

You weren't there last night. There are those who argue the monkey list wins simply by existing, and believe me they're unshakable on that point.

i play a game tonight had 5 monkeys they did shit. mvp was my evorsor which was in there just for fun. killed about 3x his point value and one charge he did he had 10 attacks and kill a squad of tyran warriors. all in all it was good fun.

Grey knights are worse than space wolves.  Why do I play this game anymore

[jhobin]

I think BA's are going to lose there edge in hth against the GK's

no more FNP against PAGK's

[Moosifer]

I think BA's are going to lose there edge in hth against the GK's

no more FNP against PAGK's

No more close combat for any army that goes up against GK's.  I love GW codex design right now, their design philosophy is:  "If it aint broke, lets make something more broken than our current best codex and make it a monster vs EVERYTHING"

This codex is a joke

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the sky is falling!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't count how many time's I've heard this over the years.

There's a couple of ways to counter the GK's you'll find a way. DE player's are going to be putting cruicible's of malediction on everyone, WH players will be using the power that neuter's psykers or psykout warheads, DA will just use there old school psychic hood, IG will pistol whip the SOB's, etc, etc .....

Is the GK codex very powerful like the BA codex?  What I mean is... Will I hear about how over the top ridiculous the GK codex is for a month and then never again?

Is it more in line with the SW codex which I still hear people complain about?

[Grimwulfe]

Chase,

It is a great codex that no one knows how to fight so like the BA codex you will hear people whining.

I do believe it has ptential to be on par as the SW codex but also has its counters so we will have to see how that part pans out.

[jhobin]

MEQ's (marine equivilants) are going to have issue's, because the top 2 hth chapters have now been dethroned. Like troy said they'll find ways to cope, librarian's will cripple the psychic power aspect of the GK's. They also all carry storm bolter's so no duel CCW so on the charge your base PAGK (power armour GK) has 2 attacks 1 in protracted hth. This can be dealt with.

Most xeno's codex's are not going to have miuch issue's it will be buisness as normal.

That said I've been collecting GK's for years and never put them on the table. I'm looking forward to this codex, and yes I'm going to be 'That Guy' and play an all Purifier army.

I would say the second part of your statement is true chase you will hear people bitch about the GK's like the SW's. I've been playing for a long time this happen's almost all the time a new codex comes out. You'll hear the same thing in a couple months when the necrons or the tau get released.
