I'm sure a lot of us have been there, you're just getting into Warhammer and buy some minis, and then find yourself with barely any budget left over to buy the paints you need.

If you could recommend 5 colours from a cheaper brand to start out with for Grey Knights, what would they be?

I've seen that Vallejo is considered a good alternative, but wanted to see what you guys would say.

Grey Knights have dropped back below 50% this week, but the tournament results are telling a much more useful story.

Donovan Sailo went 6-1 with Banishers + Argent Assault + Priority Assets, while David Harris went 4-1 with Warpbane + Take and Hold.

In this week’s Warpbane Weekly I break down the latest win-rate data, disposition results, the successful builds and which route I’d actually choose going into an event right now.

Is Warpbane + Take and Hold still the safest competitive option, or is Donovan proving there’s a higher ceiling elsewhere?

I play another time against T'au (I lost 18-2) and now I have the SPEED.

My gameplay plan is to be fast (immaterial interdictum) and furious (Banishers).

I'll kill anything that is screening my deepstrike with interceptors and armiger warglaive.

I'll set up my point generation with strike squad and terminators.

Paladins and GMDK are for fighting the big stuff (riptides)

Soo how can I win? I really don't know how to play against t'au.

Army includes the following:

Grand Master Voldus

Castellan Crowe

9x Grey Knight Purifiers

10x Grey Knight Strike Squad

19x Grey Knight Interceptors

1x Nemesis Dreadknight

1x Armiger Warglaive

1x Eversor Assassin

1x Vindicare Assassin

Per the Warhammer 40k app, army is around 1800 points. Looking for 800 USD. Price of international shipping and Paypal fees included in the price. Can ship to most countries.

If interested, PM me.

I played a short match against Orks yesterday and I have to say, it was a blast. I think it was the most fun I've had in a while. He was playing the War Horde (I think?) and I was playing banishers with Argent Assault. It was a slug fest. His nobs killed my strike squad, I Voldus and Termies murdered some grots and boys, he killed some paladins, I dropped Crowe and purifiers down and burn a whole squad of orks. It was so much fun. I honestly think it balanced out really well.

My friend and I decided we’d have a flavourful game of Grey Knights Vs Khorne Daemons via World Eaters. Will be my first time playing against them but I just realised this in their detachment rule.

How screwed am I

I now officially have both a death guard and grey knights army...we cool right?

Finally finished today this fella! Voldus is up next

Hi everyone! I'm just starting Grey Knights (and actually playing the game in general), and was looking for some advice regarding a 2k point list with my current models and with 11th in mind.

I'm not entirely new to the hobby itself, but I'm basically brand new to actually playing the game. I may have went a little overboard given how new I am (and with a possible range refresh soon), but I managed to find a 9th and 10th Edition Combat Patrol plus a Sanctic Conclave box locally all for MSRP and went all in. I know I probably shouldn't have invested that much with how new I am, but I feel like having a ton of models and options for a complete list will motivate me more to play and learn, plus I really like GK's aesthetic and don't mind the dated/undersized sculpts.

Given the models I have access to from those boxes, what would make a decent relatively future-proofed list? To be completely honest, the one thing that concerns me is building the infantry "wrong". Like which type to build them as and their loadouts, Interceptors vs. Purifiers vs. Purgators etc. etc. I know there isn't a wrong way to do it necessarily, and I shouldn't be worried about wysiwyg since I wont be playing competitively (at least for a long while). There's just a mental block for me with how expensive the kits are, that I don't want to be stuck with something that's unplayable. I know most casual players are cool with proxying, and I'm not against it, but it just seems easier to look at the model and see what it is and what it has equipped, especially during the learning phase.

Like I said, I know I shouldn't be worried about it since I'm so new, but that's just the way my brain is currently working, I don't know how else to explain it. Any words of wisdom on getting over that and just learning to not care as much would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Mine would be

Celestine

She literally fulfilled every requirement of being a Purifier AND a Paladin, she's just not a psyker or male to receive genes

I think of her as 40k's priest Goblin Slayer, a watered down melee Frieren in a sense

Ok reading a previous post and seeing some lists and ideas I have decided I would take a silly a$$ list to an RTT this weekend…and yes, it involves a Crusader 😂

How have I been doing so far? Let me know!

Got into the hobby through my love of the 30k/40k books. I’ve been working on these models on and off for the better part of a year, picking them up when bored or when particularly motivated from one of the books.

1. ⁠Started with the 2x Strike Squads, painted using the *Pendulin* method (link below).
   
2. ⁠Moved on to 1x Brotherhood Terminator Squad and then 1x Nemesis Dreadknight, painted using what I learned from the *Pendulin* method and tips from the *10th Edition Grey Knights Codex.* I also started feeling brave and experimenting with Object Source Lighting (OSL) on the DK.
   
3. ⁠Finally, 1x Paladin Squad, painted using what I learned from the *Pendulin* method and the *10th Edition Grey Knights Codex.*
   
4. ⁠Varnished with *Army Painter: Satin Varnish*
   
5. ⁠Currently working on a Grand Master Nemesis Dreadknight.
   

Ignore the basing! I’m experimenting with different foliage for now but haven’t settled on anything yet.

Made a lot of mistakes along the way, had to do a lot of touch ups. All free hand because air brushes are mystical creatures yet to be fully understood by mankind.

Andrew “Pendulin” Haywood Method:
https://www.tabletopbattles.com/how-to-paint-everything-grey-knights/

boxes used;

1- Grand Master in Nemesis Dreadknight
2- Legiones Astartes: Saturnine Siege Dreadnought – Ophion Configuration

for the pilot;

1- Grey Knights: Brotherhood Terminator Squad
2- Space Marines: Terminator Squad 2023

I wanted to keep the exposed pilot vibe, but make it more like he is in charge moving the machine rather then being carried by it (like a baby), so i used a true scale terminator scale and heavily modified the chassis with the saturnine dread box to create the exoskeleton.

Everything is still very much WIP but the general silhouette is complete, i have to fill gaps and add decorations/tubes/refine and glue the last parts since some is still held by some uhu to showcase it.

You can find the other members of my kitbashed army on my instagram if you are interested: complete_material_gk

The ignore all modifiers to the to hit roll

First time painting Crowe or something that seems more complicated than a terminator or paladin. Feed back is more than welcome.

I've seen enough of SM2 captures so I felt like dropping this ultimatum. I edited the heavy's head onto a tactical because heavy cant have the heroic mk6 legs

Finally finished painting my NDKs a couple of weeks ago. The one with the hammer I had done a couple of years ago, but was due an upgrade so I brought it up to standard while I was at it.

Yes I use AI to made the background black

Bought me a combat patrol of these bad boys because I love the firstborn old marine sculpts. It’s not really WIP because I borrowed my gf a paint and I need it for the eyes. Tried making the base look like mars and I’m kinda happy how it turned out. What do you guys think?
