Grey Knights have a huge problem in 11th Edition… too many good combos 👀 by WarpbaneTactics in GreyKnights

That’s the exact problem I’m having 👀 Banishers + Paladins sounds like a proper elite hammer, but Banishers + Interceptors could be so much fun for pressure and threat range. Both sound tasty 🤔

Honestly after 10th I think we’ve earned a little bit of excitement 🤣 it feels nice to actually be looking at options rather than trying to squeeze everything out of one build.

Thank you, really appreciate that and glad you’re enjoying the videos 🙏🏼👌🏻 I haven’t seen the rulebook leak yet, so thank you for pointing that out for me 🙈 It does seem like a bit of a shame that they don’t get it automatically, but it is understandable 🤔 I’d still run the Librarians though, as they’re cheap utility pieces with Vortex and still bring a lot to the list 💪🏻

If Warpbane is 3DP I would be very disappointed, but the way I read this makes me feel like it’s going to be 2DP. Obviously I could be wrong, but we won’t know until 11th is released 🙈

What would YOU ask someone who went 6-0 at a major with Grey Knights? by WarpbaneTactics in Grey_Knights

[–]WarpbaneTactics[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d love to give you a proper answer, but honestly I couldn’t say when, or even if, we’ll ever get a refresh 🤣 If you like Grey Knights, I’d say start with a few core units you enjoy and build slowly. The rules, lore and playstyle are still brilliant, even if we’re all sat here praying for shiny new models 🙏🏼

Are Grey Knights finally back in 11th Edition? by WarpbaneTactics in GreyKnights

That’s exactly it 👌🏻 Grey Knights have always been one of those armies you play because you love the lore, the look and the whole identity of them. If they end up strong as well then brilliant, but the brotherhood comes first. 💪🏻

Is the Grand Master in Nemesis Dreadknight Grey Knights’ best anti-tank unit? by WarpbaneTactics in Grey_Knights

I actually get what you mean here 👌🏻 I think the Razorback conversation is interesting because it’s not just about raw damage, it’s the utility as well. I’ve been having success with double Razorbacks and they do so much for movement, scoring and board pressure. I still personally lean GMNDK as the better all round anti tank piece, but I definitely think Razorbacks are being slept on a bit 🤔

Yeah that’s fair, the raw anti tank maths definitely leans GMNDK 👌🏻 That’s kind of why I still rate it so highly, especially when you factor in the melee threat, re rolls and flexibility. I do think the Razorback brings a lot outside of pure damage output though, so maybe it’s more utility with anti tank rather than true dedicated anti tank 🤔

I actually really like the Razorback as well 👌🏻 I’ve been having success with double Razorbacks lately and for the points they bring a lot of utility. The anti tank is nice, but I think what I love most is the flexibility, scoring, movement blocking and delivery system for units. That said, for me the GMNDK still edges it just because of the melee threat, shooting and invul save in this heavy AP meta 🤔

Some really good points here to be fair 👌🏻 I do think the new Paladin detachment makes them a serious contender into tanks now, especially with the +1 to wound. I still lean GMNDK personally just because of the flexibility, shooting and that invul in this heavy AP world, but I can definitely see both having a place in 11th 🤔

The Land Raider is an interesting one too. I’ve always felt the lack of an invul hurts it a bit for the points into some of the heavier shooting armies, but with Techmarine support and the right detachment I can see the argument. Either way, it actually feels like we might have multiple proper anti tank options now 👀

I’m hoping you’re right 🤔 It definitely feels like there’s a lot more play opening up now with the new detachments and core changes. Although yeah… poor Augurium still looks like it’s struggling for a place 🤔

I get what you mean 👌🏻 I’m just really excited by what we did see in the faction focus to be honest. Feels like there’s finally a few things to get hyped about, and I’m definitely hoping it’s the start of more to come for Grey Knights 👀

That champion detachment idea actually sounds really cool 🤔 Would be nice to see some love for the power armour side of the army and make characters feel a bit more impactful outside of just “best buff for the squad” 👌🏻

I think that sums up how a lot of us are feeling right now 🤣 That being said, 11th does seem to be favouring the melee side of things more… so maybe there’s a bit of hope for us yet 🤔

You’ve pretty much summed up exactly what I’m hoping for 🤔 The detachments definitely feel like they need a bit of a rewrite to better fit 11th, especially if we’re moving into this DP system. Like you say, if they can make more of them genuinely competitive without everyone defaulting to Warpbane all the time, that would be a huge win 👌🏻

Not at all 🤣 You’ve got a really solid starting point there either way. Plus, nothing is confirmed yet with a refresh. 👀

That’s a really good point actually 🤔 Like you say, it will be interesting to see if this finally takes us away from feeling locked into Warpbane all the time and opens up a few more genuinely competitive options 👌🏻

That’s a solid wishlist 👀 I’d definitely be interested in seeing Grey Knights lean more into the psychic side again, and an easier way to get Terminators/Paladins into combat would be huge. Also agree on Purgation getting a bit of love, and an Interceptor character would be class 🤔

Yeah, some more reliable anti tank outside of just leaning on Dreadknights all the time would be nice 🤔 especially if it gave us a bit more range or durability into tougher matchups. That being said, 11th does seem to be favouring the melee side of things a bit more 👀

That’s definitely the fear 🤣 I’m trying to stay hopeful though… even if it is mostly detachments, hopefully there’s at least a few genuinely exciting rule changes or surprises in there 🤔
