All in all the GK codex plays as I thought it would, and is not as OP as many people thought it to be. There are some sweet abilities, but IMHO I think that they still have the same flaw that they have had and should have, a lack of bodies on the field. The GK have to play refused flank because they don't have people to spread. Anti-MEQ can really pain the army as well, being that each guy is more expensive and dies just as well... just like the old codex. They do have a good hold on local superiority though. Strong on the spot force!
Anyone complaining about GK should probably look inward and examine your tactics more than outward for the loss first, just saying.
That being said, every GK has a power weapon and a storm bolter that can be S5 for a small points upgrade, as well as rending heavy weapons, so watch out!
Thanks for the great game Tim! Close match till the end.
So... first Grey Knights battle... not too shabby. I learned alot about the army as well as the list that I brought.
1st of all, Anti Armor... armor 13+, was rough to deal with. I partially expected this, and it was not a HUGE suprise that anyone would not bring armor against a Grey Knight unit.
My proposed solve: Nemesis Daemon Hammers (NDH). With hammerhand, NDH's strike at Str10. (the bonus is applied before and str gains for PF, etc.) Otherwise, ignore the heavy armor.
more to come...
