i have decided to make a DH army. so on friday i am going to GW to purchase my first troops. unfortunatly i have a limited amount of revenue to purchase these pieces with. a very limited amount... so i will be unable to purchase a lot of them. so i was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what should be my main priority purchase, second, third, ect.. i hope to have a good army after this visit. even if it is a small one. because i do not know when i am going to be able to purchase more. try not to be vague with your help. thank you to those who give their advice...

That's the HQ and 2 troops. Then build them up as troops (and fast attack) and add in grey knight terminators.

Personally I'd grab a blister of a terminator and call it a brother-captain or grand master for the HQ instead of the inquisitor. No one could complain since it's your only terminator on the field and there really isn't a model for the Grey Knight hero. But that's just me and disliking inquisitors.

I myself keep 1 Inquisitor on hand in my SOB army because I might need it. But I really do not like using them. 3nodding

Relkin9 Yeah, that might work. I myself keep 1 Inquisitor on hand in my SOB army because I might need it. But I really do not like using them. 3nodding In a SOB army vs. witches I'd say an Inquisitor is okay. I just can't see how a S and T 3 creature even with some good wargear is supposed to take down daemons. Most daemons get the higher intiative (even with sacred incense on you) and then smoosh him with multiple attacks (even after throwing a few on acolytes). Course most smart chaos people go "Oh look! An inquisitor!" and then smack him around with some shooting, killing him and the squad since the retinue has crap for armor saves (hooray majority armor save!). Anyways, I'll stop ranting on Inquisitors ^^;;;

The DH FAQ says that DH cannot be taken as allies by force which uses other allies.
who else thinks thats a bunch of bull? This means no IG/SM+DH+WH armies. What a bunch of wahoo...

I don't think that's a bunch of bull. Honestly why do you need to go taking more then one ally in the first place? There's going to be very few cases where the Witch Hunters and the Daemonhunters come together in the first place and then require IG or more SM forces to help them.

There are only A few things I can think of that would require such an overwhelming force. There is little reason to combine such armies outside of those few occurrences.

There have been a few people I know who have wanted to run very different types of armies so they have been tryin to build lists like these. Grey knights sisters and marines would make a unique army...

But it would look cool.

Read the 13th Black Crusade, lots of cary stuff there. All armines of the inquisition sent units, the adept mechanus sent troops, IMP of course cadia heellooo, Space marine chapters galore, and others i had never heard of before.
Off topic for a second, i didnt know the necrons hated the Chaos enough to actually help the impirium fight them, nor did i expect necon ships to attack the blackstone fortress with the allied eldar and impirium forces. freakin necrons.....

Actually, the Necrontyr have been at war with the Chaos gods since before the Orks and Eldar existed. It makes sense that if they see an opportunity to attack them, they will.

Alright, this may be a personal opinion question but I wanted a mass consensus about this. I'm collecting a Daemonhunters force, slowly but surely building up the troops and vehicles I need to make them more effective. But some of my best models in the force so far are my Grey Knights. Unfortunately they are quite expensive monetarily to go with their points cost. Would you guys accept someone using normal Space Marines in battle, painted an aged grey, in a small tournament? They obviously wouldn't have the wrist mounted Stormbolters or the Nemesis weaponry (more than knives at least). But they would at least be the same approximate shape. Yes?
