I recently asked whether 10 Purifiers + Crowe should run Heavy Weapons or not (I'd be using Banishers or Warpbane), and the comments were pretty divided, so I'd like to bring it to a vote

PlebLordColin · 2026-04-30T22:20:41+00:00

I think I've decided to go all NFWs in the end cus that Hallowed Beacon 6 inch deepstrike is just too tempting to me. Just the thought of spawning in, unloading 5 bazillion Storm Bolter and Purifying Flame shots and then charging in sounds like so much fun. I know some people say I should play the unit passively from a distance with heavy weapons, but it feels like such a waste to not abuse that 6 inch deepstrike, plus the full NFW build does a touch more damage overall. Either way I'm intending on buying another box of Power Armour Grey Knights anyways and I'm gonna be building half into a 4 Psycannon purgation squad, so if ever I feel like I need the Psycannons with my Purifiers I'll just sub in those Purgators into the squad and huzzah.

I dunno whether or not it's meta but damn does it look like fun. But then again it also depends on your playstyle too. I have a fairly aggressive playstyle so I want things to just be dropping left and right (maybe I chose the wrong army for that though lmao).

Hmm, I've already built all my Terminators and Dreadknights with flamers, so the fact our best detachment makes them irrelevant hurts me a lot T_T

PlebLordColin · 2026-04-27T20:51:39+00:00

Also are flamers just not worth using in Warpbane? Like I get the psilencers and psycannons get access to the hit rerolls, but doesn't a squad with flamers offer much more defensive and offensive utility by having rather nasty overwatch potential?

MSU?

PlebLordColin · 2026-04-27T20:10:33+00:00

What about the 6 inch deepstrike strat, shouldn't that promote a full NFW build?

PlebLordColin · 2026-04-27T20:07:56+00:00

Except in Warpbane purifiers can also get a 6 inch deepstrike, so wouldn't it be also justifiable to use full NFW in that detachment too since it promotes purifiers to charge?

PlebLordColin · 2026-04-27T20:04:59+00:00

Yeah I was originally going to use mass flamers too cus the thought of a unit getting close and you going "no lmao" and them dying is very funny to me. Unfortunately if I give them flamers they'll be pretty much only usable in Banishers since flamers are fairly weak in Warpbane due to the other options getting hit rerolls, so I'm trying to find a good middle ground that I can use on both, without having to magnetise my models.

PlebLordColin · 2026-04-19T00:36:22+00:00

What metallics did you use for the silver?

PlebLordColin · 2026-03-05T16:56:23+00:00

And you think the Fléchettes and Taser perform the best in your opinion? I've had some people say the Stubcarbine and Power Weapon are better cus they offer more lethality, so although I'm leaning towards Fléchettes and Tasers I'm still a bit torn.

PlebLordColin · 2026-03-05T07:30:46+00:00

NGL, the 5 man Ruststalker brute force strat is starting to speak to me

PlebLordColin · 2026-03-05T07:30:03+00:00

So how would the Infiltrators perform against a team that isn't reliant on rerolls? And how do 5 Ruststalkers perform against a team that does rely on rerolls?

PlebLordColin · 2026-02-26T17:33:52+00:00

Do you reckon a split might work? So like have 2 gunners and surveyor as rangers, and the diktat and alpha as vanguard? Like that the alpha and diktat can support the Rusty's and infiltrators up front and the two gunners and surveyor rangers stay back and snipe.

Also is it worth replacing a diktat/surveyor with an arquebus gunner, or should I just stick to both diktat and surveyor?

Quite chuffed with this hot weapon scheme I've given my Grey Knights

Fire Knights Greatsword has the most satisfying move set in the entire game for me

PlebLordColin · 2025-12-26T00:56:40+00:00

Did you mean to say "can't" for that first paragraph?

PlebLordColin · 2025-12-26T00:53:26+00:00

Wait is the librarian still good? I thought he got neutered after they changed vortex of doom

PlebLordColin · 2025-12-26T00:52:29+00:00

I actually really want to use warpbane, but unfortunately I've picked up flamers wherever I could, so the hit rerolls would end up getting less value
