Got a peak at the codex today, gotta say on paper the new Grey Knights are really intimidating as an opponent preparing to fight them. They have a lot of nasty tricks up their metal sleeves... but on a plus side, I proved today that Orks can beat the sense out of them in close combat! (Disclaimer: so you as you throw enough at them all at once!)
My one real complain with the book so far is that while they buffed up most of the assassins.... the Eversor got nerfed to being almost pointless. Wtf? lol

eversors aura is gone because GK are no longer fearless all - though imagine eversor riding in borrowed rhino with 10 GK running behind - 12 bs8 s5 ap1 shots anyone? can you say ouch?

Honestly, I like the fact that these guys have super beefed up units and characters and what have you. Fluff wise, they fight the most challenging foe for the Imperium and game wise, they're damn expensive so it's about time they were worth fielding three models for a million points.
My only real gripe with the Codex is those apes up at GW decided that Inquisitorial Storm Troopers were too mainstream for the Malleus. Inquisitorial Henchmen are cool and all, I guess, but the closest thing to using a Storm Trooper has pretty much the same stats as a regular Guardsmen. Sorry, but unless you're fielding a 50 man platoon or dozens and dozens of Orks, any BS below 4 just isn't worth it.

Jason Kharo Coteaz with a 1500 pts of Plasma Servitors and Jokaero (sp?). Nuff said. servitors need inquisitor in the unit to prevent mindlock... other than that pretty much valid some other slightly less cheese builds I went for: I say we nuke them from the orbit. It is only way to be sure. - Inquisitor Ripley at the cleansing of LV-426 2 brother-captains, 3 techmarines all with orbital strike relays 5d3 pie-plates of doom per turn, thank you! I love the smell of promethium! It smells like victory!- Grand master Kilgore, Grand master 3 Storm Ravens 3 strike squads/terminator squads 3 dreads/ven dreads mount up, flat out speed and second turn charge by 6 units, 7 if GM goes solo Get the fustest with the mostest - Grand Master Nathaniel Bedford Forrest 3 teleporting dread knights 3 maxed out interceptor squads second turn charge with 6 units

I just realized that they put out a lot of fire power in shooting and own in combat. They almost put the Tau to shame. But I love the halberds +2 initiative cool.

But I love the halberds +2 initiative cool. some people argue GK are more of a mid-range shooty army - (possible) s5 stormbolters across the board are scary, as is the 2 psycanons per squad spam - which is leveraged by all the goodness being assault allowing to move 6 inches and fire, and gives you flexibility of advancing versus defensive enemy and retreating while firing against offensive enemy... actually a basic squad of 10 GK with 2 psycanons and psybolt ammo does more damage per turn shooting than in melee vs MEQ... 4,44 meq/turn shooting, 2,5 meq/turn melee (assuming firing is stationary and there is no charge from them)

Go GK!

Right, I have a question about the GK's special rules.
When they cause a wound, does the Justicar take a psychic test, and the whole enemy squad, who is in combat, die, or just one model?

When they cause a wound, does the Justicar take a psychic test, and the whole enemy squad, who is in combat, die, or just one model? lol it works other way - when you inflict an unsaved wound on a multiwound model you take psychic test (one per squad, at ld of justicar, autopassed if you have brotherhood baner), and it inflicts instant death... so unless you fight a squad of multiple wound creatures - eg ogryns or thunderwolf cavalry - it is only useful against characters or monsters. when applied against squad of multiwound models, each wound unsaved inflicts 1 model killed - oh and in any case you ignore armor saves...
