rites of banishment grey knights

All of your Squads can cast Baby Smite for 1MW at 12". Which is kinda lame really. SOMEHOW this twin psycannon has a different profile than the good one that can be found on the Land Raider Banisher, also a FW datasheet. Common faction keywords are IMPERIUM, ADEPTUS ASTARTES, and GREY KNIGHTS. They now have several defenses against AP and D2, including Tide of Shadows to effectively decrease the AP suffered by 1, Redoubtable Defence to decrease damage taken by 1, and Armoured Resilience to -1 to wound rolls affecting them. With the new Tide of Convergence rule, psilencers become S5 and D1+D3... Now you comfortably wound almost all infantry and you wound T8 on 5s, plus your damage will be on par with Lascannons once your enemy eventually fails some saves. This means 2CP to overwatch, but when it is used, it can REALLY do some work, Pair with a brother captain for huge ranges on smite spam. In terms of melee, get a hammer. In 9th edition, there ist currently no rule saving Grey Knights from increasing warp charge cost on Smite. Always take a non-unique warlord to give this to. Warriors of the Grey Knights are masters of the arcane. Remember though, that with the hammer, you'll be statistically hitting only 50% of the time, and then there's the factor of degrading attacks. Often times, its best to hang back and wait... clear out the hordes and supporting characters, then swoop in and slay your opponent while they lay lame and crippled. Your termies are tarpitted where you do not want them? In short, if you take another power than Gate, you're doing it wrong, especially when considering how much easier it makes getting into combat. 6" or less movement is slow for footslogging after teleporting, the ability to move double your speed or move in then out of cover is useful. Against MEQ's, the heavy bolter gets +12" range, D2, and also wounds on a 3+ anyway. Until the end of that phase, the range of the psychic powers that unit manifests is increased by 6". Often times, its best to hang back and wait... clear out the hordes and supporting characters, then swoop in and slay your opponent while they lay lame and crippled. Comparing them barebones, so 115 points to 165 with two dreadfists, the Dreadknight does worse even with getting a free re-rolling 1s to hit buff, and as you add upgrades, the power gap widens - and that's ignoring the improvements in invuln save and psyker power output. The largest transport capacity of the 'Raiders means these are your best choice for transporting Terminators, Paladins, or even three Strike Squads and a Champion. First, units cost have been significantly reduced. Even though they are inferior to pretty much every other force in the game right now? Consider if it is worth putting your Land Raider in the open. If you hover you can fire at ground targets at BS2+, assuming you don't move and have taken no more than 4 wounds (Or you are back to normal 3+ after falling into middle damage bracket, which at that point might as well stay in hover and get the most out of your flyer before it gets toasted). No longer as insane as it once was. Just assuming that you are able to just revive strike squads units(the WORST unit to do this to) Gk apothecary will already make close to half its points back over the game(17*4=68 at a 50% success rate=34) on top of having a great statline, and it only gets better the more expensive the unit is, heck even one good heal on Drago pretty much makes the whole cost up. Pretty much ANY one of your units can start the game in deep strike reserve. Unfortunately, none of your named characters get this. In addition, don't fall for the trap of running too many Dreadknights. It isn’t Rites of Banishment that protects Grey Knights from the penalty on multiple smites, it’s Brotherhood of Psykers. Pro tip: Combo with Psychic channeling and Empyric Surge stratagems to try and stack the deck in favor of getting 12+ (a roll of an 11+ because of Grey Knight bonus). A set of 3 of these guys is enough for their own Supreme Command detachment, and they can carry Gate of Infinity, Sanctuary, and Astral Aim; if you really want, you can fill up that first detachment with a Hammerhand and a Purge Soul, or go to two detachments and have one Grand Master with every power in the Discipline. Chanting rites of banishment, the elite brotherhoods of the Grey Knights stride fearlessly into battle against the worst horrors of the galaxy. That "Resurrect a Demon unit killed by a GK unit for no reinforcement points" stratagem is going to hurt, REAL BAD.) The Grey Knights have good assault and okayish close-range shooting. Your main armament for Knights is a force (power weapons that deal D3d damage) each cost 1 point with the exception of two Falchions or the Daemonhammer. Use this on MSU Tau fire warrior gunlines and you're laughing. In normal games(well, that not true, you can take bare bone strike squads, purgators and inceptors and still have a little wiggle room for your elites. Crowe, Purifiers and Relic Banner doesn't have them. This costs 2 cp a pop but you can realistically buff many units at once and seriously crank out a shitload of smiting. Note: Outside of Tide of Convergence, against anything with Toughness 5 or higher and a 3+ save -- e.g. They also do have the GREY KNIGHTS keyword, and benefit from Grand Master/Draigo re-rolls. All this for barely 70ish points more from pre-CA 2018 loadout. Give this one a twin lascannon, a missile launcher, and Astral Aim. Consider if it is worth to put your Land Raider in the open. Alternate take: Mediocre? However given the GK capacity for an Alpha Strike adding a Callidus will help hugely because it might at least discourage your opponent from using it at the start and if you take out the bigger units first they can't then bring them back later. Always take a non-unique warlord to give this to. Note also that, unlike Apothecaries, You have to spend a cp to deepstrike Techmarine with him to keep them in good repair but movement shenanigans will separate them. What is harder to kill than 10 buffed up Paladins? Your Baby Smite maybe a little on the weak side, but unlike most armies, you can cast it all you want without having to deal with the rising WC penalty for it. And if your opponent spends all their time trying to kill your paladins, they probably won't have much left for the rest of your army. Those require a little practice if you're new to mixing paints and stuff, so best to practice on spare weapons you'll surely have after assembling a box of Knights. They wear blessed silver battle-plate and wield potent weapons of purgation, each a master-wrought relic whose worth can be measured in worlds. Note: the inquisitors Unquestionable Wisdom allows you to use their ld, which overrides your leadership stat, thus buffs to your own ld from the banner do not stack as they modify your stat, which is them overwritten by unquestioning loyalty. Strike Squads attack wherever the enemy is most vulnerable, and towering Nemesis Dreadknights stride imperiously across the battlefield, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Suddenly people get a reminder why ability to reroll all wound rolls is a bad idea. In order to win, you must find ways to block line of sight, find cover saves, and get into assault as soon as possible. In 40k where the dice gods rule all (and the crushing weight of superiority through overwhelming numbers), well formulated plans can quickly fall apart. Codices are adding back relics to armies. You can now fit 17 (!) The Blackshroud might be a good choice, as its -1 to wound makes this character pretty much immune to sniper mortal wounds. The Blackshroud might be a good choice, as its -1 to wound makes this character pretty much immune to sniper mortal wounds. Playing Grey Knights is Warhammer 40k: Hard Mode. A light against the darkness, the Grey Knights stand against the greatest threat Mankind has ever faced. Just be aware that they have the same old crummy durability as all marines, and your PAGK will get sneezed off of the board if anything glances their way in future turns. So, you want to start a force of Space Paladins or paint the one gathering dust at your shelves? On top of also doubling your close-range effectiveness and giving you an additional psychic power from Crowe. See the Brother Captain aura Strat and Tides of Escalation new rules. There's the one that lets units in 6" re-roll charge rolls, but that's pretty much the only good one. This ability is actually stronger than you might think, specifically on paladins, due to the simple fact that there are very few 4/5 damage weapons. Since the wording of the power is "...and every other unit within 3 inches" (not specifying whether friendly or enemy) this means vortex will affect your own units as well.). Your Baby Smite maybe a little on the weak side, but unfortunately just like most armies, you can't cast it all you want without having to deal with the rising WC penalty for it. Chanting rites of banishment, the elite brotherhoods of the Grey Knights stride fearlessly into battle against the worst horrors of the galaxy. Still a viable option though, just not a must-have. The Grey Knights have good assault and okayish close-range shooting. The only time numbers will be on your side is if you're facing knights or Custodes. I suggest giving the squad Gate or Sanctuary and giving Hammerhand to whatever Ancient, Apothecary, or Grand Master is babysitting them. Alternatively, just spam him. Rites of Banishment: GREY KNIGHTS are worse at Smite than normal; this is the version all of them have. Take 6 strike squads each with falchions and a psilencer for 90 points apiece, then 2 DK grandmasters will teleporters, sword and heavy incinerator along with Drago and Voldus. But those flyers are -3 to hit, how do my BS3+ dude hit them? Currently one of the best beatstick characters in the game. When the Chapter fights as one there are few who can oppose them.

Ignore Line of Sight as well as cover and blast the enemy into smithereen with your buffed up ammunition. If he accounts for this and deep strike by clustering his units, it's Vortex time. Commit, Emperor damn it. Consider using Draigo instead of a 2nd or 3rd Dreadknight, he's just as good in CC, and comes stock with 3++. 2 Take a Nemesis babycarrier, if you want less points, in a patrol detachment with a Strike squat. Ritual of the Dammed and Chapter Approved 2019 brought great changes. 3 Use: Veil of Time + Might of Heroes on you Babycarrier, then hammerhand and sanctuary and toss it over the board. Astral aim is amazing on these guys. Codices are adding back relics to armies. Values in parentheses are odds of success base, then with Brotherhood of Psykers up. All in all, Grey Knights are relatively easy to paint to look great even with basic skills, especially if you have the means to undercoat them with steel (via aerography or GW's Leadbelcher primer/simulacrum). The 3++ will be beyond nasty - since he has 12 wounds, he can be sniped with Lascannons, and yes, a lot of these weapons will target your Grandmasterbabycarrier. Wipes the floor with most other HQ's. Be prepared to unleash Purifying Flame like never before! With the Rise of 2-wound Marines, the ability to deal 2+ damage per swing is very useful when taking out MEU and vehicles. Give purifiers razorbacks. As of CA2019, strike squads are pretty cheap. Besides, casting Hammerhand you will succeed in 72.22% of cases. Both powers target ; guess what you are? With the new Tide of Convergence rule, psilencers become S5 and D1+D3... Now you comfortably wound almost all infantry and you wound T8 on 5s, plus your damage will be on par with Lascannons once your enemy eventually fails some saves. Named character options are abundant, and overall pretty good even if overpriced. The best thing about grey knights, all your units have a lot or value, so even if you bet it all on a 10 man paladin squad, and they failed, your strike squads can still put in work.

Without their own 9th edition codex, Grey Knights can currently draw psychic powers from the Sanctic (8th edition Codex) and Dominus (Psychic Awakening - Ritual of the damned) disciplines. After their point drop they are now just 5 points over a regular space marine you and you get a storm bolter, a forces weapon, you can deep strike and you get a smite?!?!

Unlike lesser Astartes, these guys are WS/BS 2+, allowing them to genuinely fight should then need arise which is helpful. Cheap too: 55 points and 3CP (but it will be making those CP on its own). Note: the inquisitors Unquestionable Wisdom allows you to use their ld, which overrides your leadership stat, thus buffs to your own ld from the banner do not stack as they modify your stat, which is them overwritten by unquestioning loyalty.

Buying the Razorback kit gives you the same parts and an additional sprue for turrets and it costs the same. Seven mortal wounds should do it.

The only two that you'll ever need to consider using tactically are Gate of Infinity and Hammerhand. Bolter Discipline does give it SOME new life for a Grand Master parked near some Purgation marines or a Dreadnought, but you're still wasting a slot best served on the Banner or the Cuirass. The flamestorm cannon can, because of flamer autohits, crisp some Flyers if you are close enough. The Finest Hour stratagem will double the range of his ability to double the range of Smite. Their all-consuming mission is to confront the Daemons of the Warp wheresoever they might manifest. Pick your targets before the battle, and pick your power accordingly. Terminator Squads, the elite of other Space Marine armies, are the mainstay of your force. Suddenly people get a reminder why ability to reroll all wound rolls is a bad idea.
