Grey Knights Kill Team

Have to look at Grey Knights going through the kill team stuff right? Ironically the elite and somewhat expensive codex offers some neat options in a 200 point game suffering few drawbacks. For about $150 bucks new you can pick up three “armies” with three different play styles depending on your opponent.

List number one: “Insertion Strike Squad”

1 Paladin with master crafted psy-cannon

5 Grey Knights Strike Squad with storm bolters, psy-cannon, and master crafted on the Justicar.

What isn’t to like with this setup. 6 model, seven wounds with a T3 2+/3+ base save. Lots of 24” shots, two psycannons, and two master crafted weapons, along with power weapons in the assault. Lead with the Paladin, support with the ‘knights. Plus, OMG you get to play PALADINZ at 200 points!

List number two: “Terminator Insertion Squad”

The terminator bug bites all of us, even at 200 points, and Grey Knights can do both flavors…

Five stock terminators or three paladins with a psycanon plus some extra points for master crafted, etc. Paladins are a bit more attractive since you have one more wound over the five termies plus the psycannon if your opponent brings vehicles. MC is nice also.

List number three: “DB Grey Knights”

Know what DB stands for? You, potentially with this list- a psybolt assault cannon venerable dreadnought which is deadly on all fronts. TECHNICALLY you can bring a dread to a kill team mission, same with vehicles, but personally it kind of spoils the fun of the aims of the mission- fast paced wacky casual play as opposed to WAAC tournament play- you have your 2K lists for that guys…

Unit Upgrades…

List one: The paladin gets FNP for even more crazyness or even eternal warrior if you are worried about S8+ weapons since they will be looking to instant punk him. The psy-cannon GK gets relentless, and then maybe you give the Justicar furious charge.

List two: FNP one the psycannon termie, furious charge on the other, and eternal warrior on the third if you are going with paladins.

List three: LOLZ! Stealth on the dread, furious charge, preferred enemy, all crazy.

As an aside, any artists out there who want some exposure? I need a set of paper tokens with all the USR’s on a single sheet that I can print out, and cut up as markers for the models. I’m experimenting with running a KILL TEAM tournament using the base mission and other from the battle mission book and if we go ahead with it, it will run at the October Battle For Salvation tournament on either Friday or Sunday, and I’ll need token players can use to mark the USRT models. Be happy to give credit and exposure on the blog, etc. Fritz sucks at anything art related.
