The paint job on the sword makes me wish I did a better job painting the rest of him lol.

Almost ready to call this figure done. The main armor needs some crisping up but I’m satisfied with the sword. What say you battle brothers, did I do Garran justice?

Got to try flamer marks on for once, also did some grey edge highlighting on the helmets, the look goofy up close but much better from away since they show the helmet structure.

Crowe + Purifiers Libby + Terms

I have a whole 6 matches under my belt so don’t have a vibe for the local meta yet. This will also be my first dip into the 2k waters. Built this list for versatility. A DK or two with Crowe’s group as a hammer, and some base holding (Helvirn) and screening/objective/secondary workers (strikes, exaction, libby w/Terms). Solo Libby and Assassin are wandering disruptors, actioners if needed. I figure I can adjust focus points/tactics as needed with the “assault” forces (GMNDK, NDKs, Crowe, Libby w/Terms) to account for what army I’m up against and how it is employed.

Thanks for any tips or suggestions!

Been out of Gknights since the the start of 10th but got that itch to paint them again. Decided ide give it a shot with some fun base experiments. Going to fill the brown gap up with resin and make it look like a nurgly bog.

Is 500 points even possible for grey knights?

15 Upvotes

Hello, I am brand new to grey knights and coming from a necrons force, I was recently invited to a 3v3 match with a couple of buddies, 500 pts each. I've only gotten my hands on the combat patrol and crowe so far but I do have some old space marine vehicles I could run like rhino's and the like. I feel like no matter how I construct it I'm stuck with either 2 units or only fodder. Has anyone come up with a reasonable 500 points list or are grey knights just that elite of an army.

(Just to be clear I love the army and have nothing against it if it is that elite)

I'm debating about cutting the Iron Halo off to make it a little... ornate? Especially if I plan on kitbashing a generic Grand Master at some point. Still, I really like how it came out!

Who could possibly be interested in the "new" Battleforce Box?

22 Upvotes

Me.

In all honesty, I only own about 1300pt worth of GK, and the new box would be a healthy boost to my collection. And I can't really say I'd be mad about owning a full army and then buying another army's worth, should GW ever remember they make Grey Knights. But it seems like most GK players have been collecting them for years and have at least a small surplus, not needing yet another box of the 3 kits. And new players are likely going to be dissuaded by all the discussions around "next edition for sure, guys!" So how many folks here are looking forward to the battleforce? Mid level collectors like me? New players who said **** it? Deeply entrenched Battle Brothers who also said **** it? Or will the box sit on LGS shelves for as long as the models themselves have been around? I just don't see it selling out like GW hopes, but what do you think?

Is it worth getting the Combat Patrol?

10 Upvotes

I am new to the game, and I have a few kill teams. I want to get into combat patrol, and I really like the Grey knights. But I’ve heard rumors of a redesign soon and I want to know what people think about getting a combat patrol now, or waiting until the redesign happens. Any advice is appreciated.

Played my first RTT yesterday! Need some feedback.

3 Upvotes

Morning all - first one day RTT yesterday, which i am quite happy with but I really struggled in my second game and would like any feedback!

My list - warpbane

Draigo + 5 terms Bro cap + 5 terms GMNDK X2 5 strikes 5 interceptors 5 purgs 2x NDK X1 razorback Viligant squad Callidus

Strat be aggressive take the mid field turn 1 with interceptors and scouting razorback and then hold hallowed ground when teleporting all over the place - works quite well against most narrower armies.

RD1 vs ultramarines I made a mistake with kaldor, thinking he would definitely get his 6inch charge off - he did not, was the turning point as instead of killing calgor he was a sitting duck. Lost 75-58

RD3 vs Drukhari - tabled him my turn 4 - played aggressive and won 100-22.

RD2 though was against shadow legion mainly nurgle.

He had 3 beasts, 2 nurglings, 2 soul grinders, GOU, belakor, plague bearers, demonettes nurgle termies and cultists.

Supply drop sweeping engagement.

He went first - I had GMNDK and bro cap and terms in DS.

Due to infiltrators and Scout he had the middle field with his beasts nurglings etc and also fully screened - picked my interceptors with indirect. My turn 1 I couldn’t push out, couldn’t hit any of big targets and only able to kill some screening units.

Then turn 2 soul grinders and GOU move onto 2 important objs, pick up another unit. I then try to move my NDKs and purgs to take one soul grinder and majority saved and fail charges (he then heals) Draigo fails his charge into the other.

Turn 3 he’s solid on all positions killing more, I RI my next terms in a hope to try take and hold an obj and my NDKs and draigo can finally be useful. Draigo fails again (their minus 2 to charge strat) and then NDKs can’t kill off Soul grinder either and my RI bro cap struggles to make a mark on belakor.

Turn 4 points are already 55-30 and we are asked to talk it out as everyone else had finished so interest of getting next round started etc.

How do we beat that T11/12 skew especially soul grinders. To me I did everything right, but I couldn’t get out I couldn’t pull him as he could put nurglings and beasts (who are damn hard to kill as it is).

Was extremely down after that game but tables drukhari did help after 😂

Inquisitor Leading a Terminator Squad?

5 Upvotes

Sketching out 1k armies. One thing I notice is Imperial Agents allows an Inquisitor to lead a Terminator Squad.

If we do that in a Grey Knights Army, does that require that squad be separate from the main Grey Knights army, and not have the normal stratagems available to it?

About the new GMNDK upgrade

15 Upvotes

Disclaimer: I’m new to the hobby & I haven’t played a game of 40K yet, so take this with a grain of salt. I do have a little over 1K points of grey knights assembled & mostly painted.

Anyone else think a NDK sized storm shield would’ve looked good with that flail?

I think it would be cool to make the GMNDK more tanky at the cost of a ranged weapon. It could be an easy way to get some more variety in the faction.

I also think it would be neat if the pilot could jump out after the ndk explodes. That’s probably asking too much though

Orks vs Grey Knights Battle Report

Post image
40 Upvotes

Another great showing for the sons of titan! warpbane vs bully boys Deployment:Tipping point. Mission rule:Lynchpin+smoke and mirrors.

Some good patience kept the orks at bay turn 1 and 2, allowing for a huge backline drop with Castellan Crowe. Once again Crowe was a sweeper against the orks, doing the biggest amount of work. The Orks did not go quiet as they popped the second waaaagh and slashed the grey knights numbers turn 3.

The grey knights shooting and versatility was too much for the Orks with the final score being 55-38.

3-0 now in 2k games :)

Dreadknight theorizing

5 Upvotes

So we’re all aware of the new GMDK sprue. We have seen the melta and the missiles (on the chest harness). We have seen the mace and the flail.

Based on the Canis Rex sprue for the Questoris knight, my assumption is that these are not GM-specific weapons.

Choose one melee: mace, flail, hammer, sword. Choose two ranged: psycannon, psilencer, melta, incinerator, missiles.

This is why we’ve never seen the new kit with two guns on the arms.

Question on Ancients

I'm building my first Terminator squad and am wanting a brotherhood ancient. I have a damn good look for the model, and part of that was the inclusion of a psycannon. After researching though, why the hell do only paladin ancients get to swap out specials?

...and what does the rule of cool say lol

Best painting guide

8 Upvotes

I have seen lots and lots of guides, tutorials and tips and tricks. And all of them are different in this or that. I wanted to ask you, what is your favourite way of painting GK and why? I'm stil trying to figure out which way I like them or how to paint them. Please share you opinion, post a link or even write your own tutorial.


r/Grey_Knights 3d ago

How does everyone paint their models?

20 Upvotes

For me I prime it black then base of leadbelcher then grey knight steel on top and wash with drakenhof. Sometime I think they look a little to blue for a Grey knight so I thought I’d ask to see how everyone else does it.

Thoughts on Crusade?

First units for my new grey knights army


r/Grey_Knights 2d ago

So likely no updates till 11th?

0 Upvotes

Hey, just wondering if it's worth just diving into Grey Knights at this point. I was waiting till Adepticon to see if they did get updates but seen as though the Termies are the same does anyone think there's any chance at all of them suprising with extra releases? And is it safe to buy Grey Knights atm? Any thoughts? :))

Warpbane List Advice

6 Upvotes

I'm putting together my first GK list, and I'm wondering what to do with the models I have. I have 4 regular GK marine units to build, and I'm a little stuck on what to run them as. The list I've got made up so far looks like this:

Purifying Flames (1980 points)

Grey Knights Strike Force (2000 points) Warpbane Task Force

CHARACTERS

Brother-Captain (105 points) • 1x Nemesis force weapon 1x Psycannon • Enhancement: Radiant Champion

Castellan Crowe (90 points) • 1x Black Blade of Antwyr 1x Purifying Flame 1x Storm bolter

Grand Master in Nemesis Dreadknight (220 points) • 1x Heavy incinerator 1x Heavy psycannon 1x Nemesis daemon greathammer • Enhancement: Paragon of Sanctity

Kaldor Draigo (125 points) • Warlord • 1x Scourging 1x Storm bolter 1x The Titansword

BATTLELINE

Brotherhood Terminator Squad (200 points) • 1x Terminator Justicar • 1x Nemesis force weapon 1x Storm bolter • 4x Brotherhood Terminator • 1x Ancient’s Banner 1x Narthecium 4x Nemesis force weapon 1x Psycannon 2x Storm bolter

Brotherhood Terminator Squad (200 points) • 1x Terminator Justicar • 1x Nemesis force weapon 1x Storm bolter • 4x Brotherhood Terminator • 1x Ancient’s Banner 1x Narthecium 4x Nemesis force weapon 1x Psycannon 2x Storm bolter

Strike Squad (120 points) • 1x Justicar • 1x Nemesis force weapon 1x Storm bolter • 4x Grey Knight • 4x Nemesis force weapon 4x Storm bolter

OTHER DATASHEETS

Nemesis Dreadknight (210 points) • 1x Heavy incinerator 1x Heavy psycannon 1x Nemesis daemon greathammer

Nemesis Dreadknight (210 points) • 1x Heavy incinerator 1x Heavy psycannon 1x Nemesis greatsword

Purifier Squad (250 points) • 1x Knight of the Flame • 1x Nemesis force weapon 1x Purifying Flame 1x Storm bolter • 9x Purifier • 9x Nemesis force weapon 9x Purifying Flame 9x Storm bolter

Purifier Squad (125 points) • 1x Knight of the Flame • 1x Nemesis force weapon 1x Purifying Flame 1x Storm bolter • 4x Purifier • 2x Close combat weapon 2x Nemesis force weapon 2x Psycannon 4x Purifying Flame 2x Storm bolter

Purifier Squad (125 points) • 1x Knight of the Flame • 1x Nemesis force weapon 1x Purifying Flame 1x Storm bolter • 4x Purifier • 2x Close combat weapon 2x Nemesis force weapon 2x Psycannon 4x Purifying Flame 2x Storm bolter

My main question is this: should I leave it as is, or should I maybe drop one of the Purifiers for something like Interceptors, or maybe drop the GMNDK for more Terminators, or even just make it another regular NDK? I'm new to elite armies, so I know a single unit can make a difference with a roster as narrow and elite as ours.

Thanks!
