With the release of the dark angels and with wryth taking them as his own me and my Grey Knights decided to go on the defense of incoming plasma spam.. maybe? Mostly from the Ravenwing Black Knights. With Twin linked guns on every bike my terminators were just abit concerned Iv yet to fight them yet but theres no harm in planing right?
My normal lists normally auto include Terminators and Dreadknights and lately Necron Allies for the up coming over the top tournament. So this List for me is very different might have to have a jam with it just for shits and giggles and see if it falls apart .
Grey Knight Inquisitor with needle pistol, power sword, plasma syphon, power armor, lvl1 psyker with divination to get prescience X2

While trying to deal with the bikes the plain Jane GK strike squads also deal with deathwing terminator's quite well been able to cast warp quake to bugger up there DS if they want to get close or scatter in. So one Inquisitor in each Chimera the plasma syphon gives off a 12 inch bubble from the hull making all plasma guns BS1 while not a large bubble two helps :D also even tho the bikes are twin linked needing 6s and then re rolling 6s I think is still pretty good. While on my end if they do want to take the risk of double tapping within 12 inch's I can shot back and with prescience. The last thing ill say are the Dreadnoughts with lascannons With ap2 adding +1 to the damage chart and av13 necrons and vindicator making a come back str 9 always helps.
I started painting Sammael up tonight. The pain is coming. I'd be more worried about standard ravenwing with real plasma guns, as black knights are twice the price, have shorter range and die as easily as a normal bike.
ReplyDeleteStill not sold on the plasma syphons, because of the 12" range from the inquisitor. The TLLC make a big difference against Necrons AV13, but is quite a big points jump.
Still worth a crack, I can bring my bike army up sometime. Just need to convert a darkshroud and it's all ready to go.
good work dude looks like you now have the 40k army that you have been waiting for. No more grey knights for you? Side note do you have a grand master with a psycannon
ReplyDeleteStill keen to break out the grey knights from time to time, plenty of ally combinations to be tried. Advantage of them bring actually painted is good also. I don't have a specific GM model with psycannon but I did find a few old metal psycannons when I cleaned up my stuff. I could be persuaded to part with one to a good home.
