Another potential 1850 list, also with 4 knights - there might be a theme here!

GK primary CAD / Eldar allies

Librarian lvl 3

2 x 5 Terminators / hammer / psycannon

3 x Dreadknights / personal teleporter / heavy incinerator / heavy psycannon / hammer

Spiritseer

5 x Wraithguard / D-scythe's
Wave Serpent / holo-field

Wraithknight

As pure GK player I definitely like more army list no. one, I´ve never trusted xenos filth.. even long dead ones:D  - however, I still see some weaknesses -

Drop teleport homers on interceptors, in my opinion, they are useless for your units since they won´t support your First Striking units on turn one (to be functional - you must have them on board at beginning of your turn, when your reserves are arriving and since deep striking is mandatory 1st step prior movement,  it means that your FS units won´t scatter on your edge of table in turn 1. But I guess that you want them to deepstrike close to enemy, no?). If reserves don´t arrive on turn one, don´t expect your interceptors to survive turn 1 close to enemy - they are too easy target for your opponent for the first blood VP.

I´m also suggesting to drop callidus assassin since it is just one man and he will never impact your opponent in serious manner for its cost.

For gained points install one unit of 5 men purifiers with 2 incinerators as well as heavy incinerators on your NDK (at least two of them).. Put libby lvl 3 (sanctic) to purifiers and hope for GoI. By this, you´ll gain additional 5 WC starting turn 1 from this one particular unit - keep them save and hidden from enemies. If you have this one purifier´s unit with libby with GoI than you may potentially utilize one teleport homer on one unit of interceptors to precise the GoI jump since psychic phase is after moving phase - however for me it is too many "if"s to make it practical and 10pts is a lot:D

Good luck, brother.

I don't play eldar so I can't give feedback on them. But as for your grey knights having a lvl 3 is always smart unless a player runs out of points since it boost there psychic power. Terminators with hammers and psycannons are always a great pick.

What's the story behind the list?

Thanks for your input guys

@ Asahiro - the plan with the teleporter homers:

Start the Interceptors on the board and use their 30" shunt to give the Terminators a safe drop right in the enemy's face. They will be accompanied by 4 Dreadknight's so whilst fragile should be down the target priority order.

When added into this 4 Dreadknight / 10 interceptor and probably 2 Librarian and 10 Terminator rush a Callidus is just another nuisance. I would start her an inch away from a longfang / broadside type of unit and distract them with an AP2 flamer and the certainty of a T2 charge should they ignore and shoot the rest of the army. Besides, I get a re-roll on seize the initiative and she is shot at BS1 on her first turn on the table.

@ Thunder Shark

No story behind the list just that my bro plays Eldar and those are the units I hate playing against the most so - I'm not sure how many of you have faced Wraithknights / Wave Serpents / D-scythe Wraithguard but they are all brutal and tough to kill. I would love to see a drop pod army try and alpha strike this lot - they would get toasted.

The plan here is to send 3 Dreadknights all together in a posse to harass one flank whilst the Wraithknight covers the Terminators and Serpent / Guard as they grab some objectives.

Besides, between us we have the models to make it (albeit metal Wraithguard with the other guns)

Brother Domin4trix, I see your point and sounds as nice tactic - especially with NDK flank attack. However, according rules for teleport homers, teleport homers can´t be used after shunting your interceptors during 1st turn since deep striking from reserves must be done prior to movement phase of interceptors and therefore your termies will deep strike safely only to the starting position of your interceptors - unless you count that termies will arrive during turn 2 and later - but then why to use 2 NFS detachments instead of combination CAD and NFS.. am I missing something? .. you can have 5 NDK instead of 4 and still have objective secure rule for your troops..

We're Happy to give input!!

Anyway I do agree the the Wraithknights are quite hard to kill. They have caused me lots of trouble.

You could well be right brother, I know you have to roll for reserves at the start of the turn but assumed you could deploy in any order in your movement phase - It's not a tactic i've yet used since I don't like deepstrike armies and my terminators came in on T3 last game where I tried out this list. I prefer everything on the table from the off giving the opponent more scope to screw up with target selection and meaning I don't turn up piece meal.

I'll go back and re-read the rules for deep strike reserves, but yeah - if that's illegal then there is no point having homers on the interceptors - this is why I post on here to learn where i've gone wrong

Thanks for the input both of you - always appreciated

So I have checked the rules and its is clearly stated on page 135 of RB that units arriving from reserves must be placed on table (if successfully rolled for) prior you can move with other units on table. However, if you use GoI spell it is completely different story since, this movement is done during psychic phase using deep strike rules   ..

Thanks for clarifying - there goes that idea!

Back to the drawing board

Grey Knights / Iron Hands / 1850

GK: (Nemesis Strike Force)

Librarian / Fury of Deimos / sword
Joins the Terminators. This wargear because I want to use these two legion praetors as my HQ models in this army:

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/The_Horus_Heresy/Legiones_Astartes/Space_Marine_Legion_Army_List/Legion_HQ/LEGION_PRAETORS.html

5 Terminators / hammer / psycannon
Hopefully T1 Deepstike

Dreadknight / personal teleporter / heavy psycannon / heavy incinerator / hammer
The Swiss army knife - nothing they can't kill

Dreadknight / personal teleporter / heavy psycannon / heavy incinerator / hammer
Obviously I need two of these!

IH CAD: (FNP 6+ / HQ's and Vehicles get IWND)

Librarian
To roll with the Centurions in the Land Raider (FNP 6+ / IWND)

5 Scouts / teleporter homer
ObSec and homing the Terminators in (FNP 6+)

5 Scouts / teleporter homer

3 Devastator Centurions / grav-cannons / grav-amps
To deal with any MC's / where I need AP2 (FNP 6+)

Land Raider Redeemer / Multi-melta (dedicated transport)
The flamestorm's will help against horde armies as I have a low model count, capacity big enough for both Librarians to join the Centurions should I wish (IWND)

Mortis Contemptor Dreadnought / 2 x TL autocannons / cyclone missile launcher
Solid all round shooting at 48" and a credible anti-air threat without needing an airforce, besides, my contemptor psyfleman dreads are sitting on the shelf unloved - add some cyclones and carry on!

Mortis Contemptor Dreadnought / 2 x TL autocannons / cyclone missile launcher
AV13 / IWND and an invulnerable save that synergies with sanctuary also make them reasonably tough

Nice List Brother! I however, would drop the Land Raider and use those points to buff your IH Librarian or get another one for your GK. Horde control you've got via NDKs and Cleansing Flame so if you get both, you'll be set for the entire game.
As a suggestion you can consider the Strom Talons instead of the Dreads, they're around the same points level and they are great for board/flier control.

Good point on the Storm Talons - I'm in the minority that actually likes the model and I like the missiles they come with. The reason I went with Contemptors is two fold

1. I dislike having models in reserve - The more turns all my units are on the table the more damage I can wreak and the more decisions with target priority I force for my opponent.

2. I have contemptors and don't have storm talons yet! - those and Centurions are definitely on my hit-list

Well I too like the Stormtalon design, so that makes us two! As for its inclusion, yeah I see where you're coming from and agree. GK need the firepower early on, in order to survive with our low body count. I think that the Cyclone ML is a great choice. So much hurt in one Dread...

Let us know how the list plays!

Another list designed for tournament maelstrom play (and to make opponents wet themselves at deployment!)
