thoughts?

screw the 5 man strike squad and get a better HQ
I recomend Librarian

the brotherhood champion aint as bad as many make him out to be. hes one of the most toughest units in the game. having a 2+ armor save and a 3+ invul in close combat, combined with the reroll stance makes him take hits more than your usual HQ.

couple that with the reroll ability he gives to his squad and the fact that he uses a artificer armor makes it even better if you couple him with power armored grey knights. if you add any of the other GK HQ's to a power armored squad the whole squad loses the ability to sweeping advance. wich is one of the things that makes a won assault in wh40k pretty deadly.


for the list : i would switch one grey knight strike squad with purifiers and stick the Bchamp into them. they have better damage potential overall and the reroll to hit helps them well.

one of the reasons i went with him was that hes in artificer armor and can get in the razorback with the 5 man squad

libby in term armor would be out in the open

hmm where to get the pts for the purifiers?

maybe switch the dk for another rifleman?

but then id have to wait to get one...but thats something i can shoot for

i would say switch the 5 greyknight strike squad/razorback/twinlinked assult cannon/psybolt ammuntion to : 5 purifier 4 halberds 1 hammer/razorback/twinlinked heavybolter, psyammo. its 2 points cheaper and can dish out more damage coupled with the bchamp than the GKSS can

Switching the DK for another psyfleman would probably not be a bad idea. Mostly because DK's are really not very useful unless you have 2 of them. With only 1, they get focus-fired so quick you regret even buying the model.

I also second what Souba has said above. Because, honestly, if it's not a 10-man strike squad, then you're better off with purifiers or something else.
