[1000] Grey Knights (Play testing)

[Pooky]

40K Army: Daemonhunters

I'm building a new Grey Knights army. Currently I have 1000 points assembled and will be play testing it this weekend against either Mek Ork (including Trukks and Looted Vehicles with Boom Guns) or shooty mech Chaos (including Land Raider, Terminator Lord, Terminators, Havoc Squad and CSMs in Rhinos with Plasma and/ of Flamer).

The Grey Knights army:

Brother Captain, Sword, Psycannon
5 Terminators, Psycannon, 4 Swords, Daemon Hammer
5 Strikers, Psycannon, 4 Swords, Daemon Hammer
5 Strikers, Psycannon, 4 Swords, Daemon Hammer
Dreadknight, Heavy Psycannon, Nemesis Greatsword
5 Interceptors, Psycannon, 4 Swords, Daemon Hammer

I put the army together from units I thought that was cool, not necessarily what I thought was power house.

That being said though, do you think I have a chance

Against the Orks this list is probably gonna work pretty well, as psycannons make short work of poorly armoured vehicles. You have next to no ds2 however, so terminators might be a bit of a problem. At 1000 points, a terminator lord with retinue and land raider eats over half of the allowed points however, so he's not gonna have that many models - try to somehow rend the land raider to death, then assault the termis with your dreadknight, he should stand a fair chance against them.

I was thinking of shunting the Interceptor squad behind the Land Raider to attempt to rend it or harass his rear armor. The dreadknight would push forward as a hard point in front of the Land Raider. You're right about the points being chewn up in tue Pand Raider, Lord, retinue unit. I'm fairly sure he'll use a Land Raider. Probably will use his PA lord and a CSM unit inside it.

I'm guessing that there should be enough fire power to whittle down CSMs or even 30 Boyz if I play defensively.

[Pentregarth]

Not sure how harassing a land raider's rear armour makes any difference to it's front, but yeah, shunting is probably a good idea. Either he focuses the interceptors, which leaves your other units to do as they please, or he ignores them, which won't end good for him.

[Pooky]

I should have been more specific. If I am shooting up the Land Raider from behind the I am forcing him to split focus. Or I'll be shooting up his Rhinos or Looted vehicles/ Trukks from behind on their rear armor.

Ah, yes, that makes sense ^^
