But in particular the Strategic Warlord Traits are boss for Grey Knights as is Grand Strategy. These can both give you immense amounts of flexibility. I'd look into that. I've not truly struggled against any army using the Grey Knights, though I did have a close tie in a game I easily could have lost, to Necrons recently. Shew! I avenged that this week. yay.Unorthodoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577407895720451428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-68585178276679125432014-08-11T08:20:29.235-07:002014-08-11T08:20:29.235-07:00Also, I think Paladins need access to a storm shie...Also, I think Paladins need access to a storm shield and perhaps be toughness 5 to avoid instant kills - They are supposedly a bodyguard unit, are they not?

My problem with the 6++ is the risk of a perils when jinx gives a better save - lost a SR because of this. If an attack is strong enough to need a 6++ I would be jinxing in any case with a SR.<br /><br />My problems are with armies who out-range AND out-manoeuvre me. I have been trying different lists so hopefully my new list stands a better chance against those damn Tau and Dark Eldar. Against Imperium I am sort-of on par. Orks I have an even win-loss, but the amount of fast power claws I faced last time chewed through everything I had.<br /><br />I think maybe my biggest weakness is that the only "non GK" units I like are the assassins. I play GK, not Ordo Malleus, which makes my choices much more limited than someone who is open to more. Rumour has it the codex is going to come into line with my way of "thinking". Looking forward to it.Hyperionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546533927172037566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-43681472548754163402014-07-30T02:33:51.009-07:002014-07-30T02:33:51.009-07:00Storm Ravens are indeed a nice addition to the ars...Storm Ravens are indeed a nice addition to the arsenal;. I'll be honest: I don't use storm ravens myself. I like them on paper but the reality of them is quite underwhelming when its used AGAINST me. So maybe its just ME... But I've crashed an awful lot of them without taking much damage and when those occupants come crashing down with it, its not a good scene. High Risk, High Reward. Normally IM a pretty big fan of those types of trade offs because I play to win. But the Storm Raven also doesnt strike me as a necessary component. As in, you CAN and often DO get along just fine without out it USING Grand Strategy etc... So, the jury's out. I think I'd rather have a Land Raider to be honest.Unorthodoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577407895720451428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-22753595215059438542014-07-30T02:30:28.529-07:002014-07-30T02:30:28.529-07:00They're just amending what happens in the 12&q...They're just amending what happens in the 12" bubble. And to your other point don't forget that the Psychic Pilot gives the Vehicles a 5+ Deny the Witch and then the Aegis makes that more effective potentially. <br /><br />An invul save simply never sucks. Ask my Sisters of Battle.<br /><br />So aside from games against Daemonss and Psykers, who are you struggling against and what list is struggling against them?Unorthodoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577407895720451428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-74948730235743993602014-07-28T11:15:07.686-07:002014-07-28T11:15:07.686-07:00I play GK as well and have a lot of success with t...I play GK as well and have a lot of success with the Mordrak/Draigo bomb. First off Draigo is almost as good as an MC. Grand Strtegy twice is impressive. I also shunt interceptors and DKs and you did not mention how SRs absolutely nerf psykers. Being able to drop in a cpouple Pallies as OS troops is not bad either. Overall, I think the GK codex has plenty of very decent options and can compete well in 7ed. Just my 2 cents though - the Duck Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-34493139109947871482014-07-28T07:59:16.763-07:002014-07-28T07:59:16.763-07:00According to the FAQ on Reinforced Aegis: "Re...According to the FAQ on Reinforced Aegis: "Replace this special rule with 'this unit can re-roll any failed Deny the Witch roll'" - no more mention of 12 inches anywhere.<br /><br />In my opinion the powers on the vehicles only help if the opponent has daemons. Risking perils for a 6++ is just not worth it against another opponent. SR can jinx and Dreadnoughts can be deployed in cover to aim their 48 inch shots.<br /><br />I play only GK, but have not had much success in 7th yet. Against Daemons and psykers I do OK, but not so much against anybody else yet. Some losses down to strategy/rolling, others to GK just not being able to contend with certain things unless you list-tailor.Hyperionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546533927172037566noreply@blogger.com
