Im think I will cut the Great weapon and give him a powerfist instead. nasty little bugger now aint he

So Lighting claw and the axe?

Which Chaos Army would be best against Daemon Hunters, Slaneesh, Khorne, Tzeentch, or Nurgle? I'd think Tzeentch would be out right there, as the special Greyknight rules make Psykers near useless. In my opinion, taht lowers it to Nurgle, Khorne, and Slaneesh. Now for the big comparrisons.

First off, Nurgle is T5 for all extents except insta-kills. Thus, out of 18 Storm Bolters(The average Number of Bolters in 2 Squads assuming one Special Weapon each squad and 10 Grey Knights each squad), 8 would wound. This, assuming basic odds, means they'll suffer about 3 wounds after saves. Then, with the 6 Psycannon shots(Since no-one takes Incinerators usually), 4 will hit, and about 3 will wound, that's one more casualty on average. So, with Nurgle, you'll on average take 2 full squads shooting for only 4 Casualties from 2 Full Grey Knight Squads. Plus, they're fearless, so no worry about moral checks there.

Next comes Slaneesh. Slaneesh is actually quite good here for a few reasons. One, they can dish out tons of shooting attacks safely from a distance, more then the greyknights, if given their specialist weapons. Then, in combat, they have one BIG advantage, -1 to enemies initiative. This is VERY usefull, as a basic Greyknights squad will now strike Simo with them, and if they have furious charge, they can even strike Simo for the first round with Sacred Inscence enemies. The fact that Slaneesh has good Demons also is quite usefull, as their basic Demon has 3 attacks on the charge that strike Simo with most BASIC greyknights and cause rending, so a favored 12 Daemonnete Unit (Only 180pts), will get 36 attacks on the charge, which they should get since they can move and assault the turns they are summoned. Thus, 6 enemies(4 if Terminators) should die outright, and another 2 more should die after their other attacks(1 more if Terminator). That is a 180pt. unit already having made up most, if not all, of their points. Thus, even though the enemy strikes back at the same initiative, they still are less likely to cause more then the damage in points caused to them after the conflict. Plus the fact that demons can be recycled when facing Greyknights, they seem to be quite efficient as long as one icon remains.

Next, and another great anti-demonhunter God, is Khorne. Their basic warriors, if given only chainaxes, still strike with power against the greyknights. with 18 non-power weapon(17 if the ASpecialist Weapon isn't on the Justicar), that is about 10 Wounds from them, after saves, and then another 2 Wounds from the justicar. Thus, 2 Base Khorne, plus the Champion, will strike mack. With 13 attacks back, at least one Greyknight should drop. Doesn't sound good for khorne, no? However, ASSUME they were given furious charge, and that the Champion had 2 Lightning Claws and Mutation. Now all the berzerkers strike back, though the same amount should die(meaning only 2 basic and Veteran left after Grey Knight attacks). However, with 28 basic Warrior attacks, of which 8 Should wound, 4 Grey Knights should drop from that alone. Then, with the Khorne Champions 6 attacks, of which 3 should wound after rerolls, that is 7 Grey Knights dropped by a 229pts. of Khorne, which should have made up at least a decent amount of the Berzerkers points.

Which of these armies seems best against Demonhunters? My bet is Slaneesh, though it is your opinions I want.

Hey I'm just about to start a 2000pt Death Guard(pluage marine) army and was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on how I should lay out my army list. I'm just having a real hard time making a list that seems good to me.

I'm trying to go for a half assault half shooty army and the other armies in my group are necron, ultramarine, eldar, and imperial guard so if that helps any with chosing stuff for the list...

Anyways, any input or advice I can get would be much appreciated.
