Does Crowe still make Purifiers troops? Otherwise the only fully painted army I have has just been invalidated hah.

I thought so as well, but why does the Heavy Psycannon have a Salvo 3/6 option then? It's not exactly man portable...

Oh, it's worth noting that Psycannons aren't available on vehicles. Since Psybolts have been removed, we can't even give them 'Psycannons'.

Mindstrike missiles have been replaced with S8, AP2 Concussion missiles but aside from that, it's pretty much GKT Psycannons (sword+Psycannon is cheaper than a Paladin so they're pretty spammable). We might have to resort to Storm Raven spam. Re-looked at the Fury of Deimos and it's actually not that bad. 10pts for a 36" range mastercrafted Storm Bolter with Precision Shot.

I can spam GKTs more which is a silver(grey?) lining but we're really encouraged to use allies for anti-tank. Vendetta squadron ahoy!

GK never really had good AT. The psyflemen were good for stripping HP off transports, and can honestly still do that at S7. The Stormraven is slightly better now with the AP2 missiles but still pays for a transport capacity which you will probably not use and one will not be enough for solid AT. I think the lack of psybolts on infantry actually hurts our anti-infantry more. Before I could reliably mow down T4 infantry for only 20p per squad. S4 on storm bolters is not that awesome for an army with no long-range shooting. I would take the Storm Wing dataslate as a great anti-tank/anti-flyer squadron. It comes with no HQ tax, all three flyers arrive in one turn and the Stormraven has BS2 against ground targets while one Stormtalon lives. You can paint them in GK colours and nobody will complain if you don't like regular marines next to your GK. One more question, did the interceptors get a price cut? I tried them a little in 5th but found them too expensive for what they brought.

Base interceptor squad is the same (130pts) but they're 2 points less per model. Shunting still works as it did before, but the loss of Psybolts really hurts how I usually fielded them. On the plus side, Incinerators only cost 5pts for them now and you can have 2 in a max squad. No more mobility tax!

Just assembled my third Flying Hive Tyrant. I really like the look of the Tervigon Spine Cluster arms to use as Devourers instead of the relatively dinky-sized arms of modified Devourers or the Forgeworld option (which I'm not spending $22 on anyway). Now to paint it up so I can have 6 FMCs in a 1500pt game.

Can Purgators, Purifiers, Interceptors, and Dreadknights all Deep Strike and benefit from the "arrive first turn and run/shoot with twin-link" and all that jazz? Do Nemesis Force Swords do anything above and beyond the abilities common to all NFW (and being AP3, of course)? Are Aegis and Preferred Enemy (Daemons) still things for the units? Aside from being an IC, is Crowe any different now? Did they fix his stances?

It's cool that the new codex costs more money, has less units, less FoC altering options, less upgrades and less fun. Furthermore, I love the taste of poo poo in my mouth. Please crap directly onto my face, but please, no homo!

As for if it's the next thing, well, games workshop have a helpful website that showcases their latest products, which, right now, is plastered with Grey Knights stuff. That should tell you everything you need to know.

AbusePuppy posted:Is this two weapons, regardless of squad size? That would actually make them fairly solid. No, it's one per 5 models as it used to be. Still, it's a lot cheaper than before and you could always combat-squad the two Incinerators together. NFSwords are just Daemonbane Force weapons (Daemonbane gives you rerolls to wound/pen vs Daemons while Force is active). Big missed opportunity on not having deepstrike on the BHC though (and by extension, Crowe). They can't arrive with the rest of the army, which sucks.

Codex Grey Knights is the ultimate proof that GW will nerf existing units just so that they can sell their lovely new 3D-designed hot garbage models with overpowered rules.

Said custom FOCs would inevitably lose Objective Secured, which means no one is going to want to field them; an entire army of terminators without OS is even more gimped than usual (and that is loving saying something). Ravenwing is done better with White Scars right now anyway so anyone rolling them should probably just use the SM book.

When I got Eldar bikes years ago I replaced the torsos and heads with contemporary Guardian bits. But the leather jacket torsos are really cool. I have Grey Knights, Eldar, and other armies with potential IG allies, what would look great with leather jackets? And, no, I can't make five Marbos. I mean, I could, but I shouldn't.
