Grey Knights: The only army that comes prepainted.

Nice bit of timing when you first mentioned the Death Cult Assassins. They were on the screen behind you just as you said their name. I was actually looking at Grey Knights when I first got interested in 40k, back in ’05 (thanks to Dawn of War). Procrastination stopped me from getting one and then when I was seriously looking at starting a 40k army just last year, I found out that the models were all metal and that’s when my natural paranoia of super glue kicked in and I caved and got a normal Space Marine army. On top… Read more »

Another cc-force to be blown apart at afar, with upgrades which are utter crap…

I’ll wait for this GK week to kick off to rant some more, but I’ve read the codex and believe its an utter waste and wonder how it got into print.

i’ve asked this question on BOW twice already, but i want this question featured. might of titan is cumulative with hammerhand…is hammerhand cumulative with itself? say a librarian joins a termie squad, can both the unit and the character use hammerhand? with might of titan, you end up with S7 termies, paladins, insanely powerfull characters and so on…sorry for posting this in so many places, but it’s the only unresolved issue i have with the whole book.

I think I would punch someone who tried to make the Dreadknight become jump infantry. I know what the rules say… but COME ON! He should just be Monstrous with a 30″ Jump Thingy.

I think the Quicksilver guy with a Hammer would still be initiative 1. It says in the rules:
“attacks with a power fist are always delivered at initiative 1 (ignore Initiative bonuses from special rules, wargear, etc.)” Pg. 42 BRB

That’s gotta refer to psychic powers as well.

No shooting? Rifleman Dread w/Psybolt Ammo FTW! 😀

Looking forward to the rest of the week guys!

I would say that the increase to stats by Quicksilver is applied to the model/units stat line, and THEN any equipment effects are applied – so an In4 model would become In10, but then be reduced to In1 because of the daemon hammer.
It’s no different to items like powerfists, which double the models strength as it is on their basic stat line, ignoring any current strength bonuses.

While the models are beautiful and the army powerful and whatnot, I’m really sad that Grey Knights lost that “Inquisition brings the Imperium together” feeling.
Being unable to field them with SM or Guard is a big loss imo. Fluff wise.

Just started Gk’s
Im so excited to this week!!!
They r awesome!
Agree with the dreadknight pose, though its a fantastic miniature

I like what they did I miss the STR 6 GK’s though. Not surprised about the mistakes with rules it is from GW and they do stuff like that all the time. Pretty funny though jump infantry dreadknight. Is the Storm raven and land raiders dedicated for paladins if they are scouting with them is pretty cool especially out flanking. The librarian teleport move is neat can you assault after you move the unit? Warmachine is way over priced and I do not really like it though they have great looking minis Heavy Gear is pretty tight though.

I will use the Gouff or the Fanfir from Gundam the Zeon units for Dreadknights don’t like the model.

Personally I can’t wait to see them do a Kaldor Draigo influenced list because he makes paladin terminator squads troop choices.

i’m sorry but The Summoning says:

The Librarian creates a warp bridge and summons battle-
brothers to his side

This power can be used at the beginning of the Librarian’s
Movement phase. If the Psychic test is successful, choose a
friendly, non-vehicle unit that is not locked in combat
anywhere on the battlefield. The chosen unit is removed from
the tabletop and immediately placed anywhere within 6″ of
the Librarian using the Deep Strike rules.

it would be over powered if you could use it on vehicles in my opinion

I don’t think that The Summoning would be overpowered, because it still uses Deep Striking Rules. You have to place the models within 6 inches, but I think they’d still Scatter and be subject to the Mishap Table (seeing as it mentions specifically that they fall under the Deep Strike Rules)

As far as the debates go: Thunder hammer rules use the same rules as powerfists, which specifically say their initiative can’t be increased through the use of wargear of special abilities, so you will always strike at I1 with them. The Dreadknight; obviously, all you are doing is attaching a jump pack on his back. You’re not giving him a shrinking pill. He gets to move like jump infantry and have the teleport ability, but he doesn’t lose his MC status, so he still gets his 2d6 pen and can’t get cover saves from standing in terrain nor can he… Read more »

With regards to the Dreadknight i think perhaps it should just say moves like jump infantry rather than becomes jump infantry. Ive read the codex a lot since i got it but until i watched this video i didnt even clock that it said any units with the teleporter become jump infantry. Look at the size of the stormraven it’s hard to imagine 10 grey knights getting out of it let alone a dreadknight lol. The pose of the dreadknight should of been more easy to change such as the wraithlord. Apart from all of this the GK’s do have… Read more »

I cant help but wonder if a jump pack can even work on something as big as the Dreadknight. Sure the codex apparently says it does but damn im still fairly certain that the Dreadknight is just too big for a Jump Pack
