Army List Challenge/Paladins Suxxors

St. George's Day and 30th anniversary of the ZX Spectrum
/This thread on Heresy: http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=108949&page=4 I got into a debate about Paladins, and specifically how bollocks they are.

I don't need to get back into the reasoning all over again, it's there in the thread.  There are certainly a few things I missed, but this article is about living up to the challenge I set and presenting three 1500-point lists that would give that GK army fits, and obviously there's no point in tailoring the,.  Apart from the fact that tailoring your list is cheating and I'm no cheat, any fool can tailor a list and write it to defeat a specific, pre-known opponent...for instance if I wrote a list of Orks with 45 Tankbustas, in order to take advantage of the lack of vehicles and simply missile-rape the Purifiers.

Oh, and speaking of Grey Knights...

I dunno if anyone's noticed (I imagine not) but there is actually no legal option in the Codex to take Purifiers as Troops...*INSERT OBLIGATORY NERD RAGE AND "WHAT YOU TALKIN' BOUT, WILLIS?" COMMENTS*

Grey Knights of Grey Army Archetypes: ForceStorm (aka Yes I'm Plagiarising Myself)

Those of you who are frequent flyers of TKEAir will be aware of my creating the mostly forgotten/ignored Blood Angels Archetype list known as the ThunderStorm - a list predicated upon the desire to deliver hard-hitting resilient Assault units (specifically, Assault Terminators) via Fast Skimmer in a Space Marine variant (ie, the StormRaven)

Joy to the world, the teacher's dead - and Grey Knights (pronounced kuh-nites) get access to the StormRaven too! Oh, and they happen to be somewhat familiar with the concept of assaulty Terminators too.  Huh.

Grey Knights of Grey Archetypes: Blunder-Bubble

Blunder-Bubble? Well, it's a Blunder that these guys don't come equipped with ThunderShields, but they're pretty much as formidable in CC as the superstars of the Space Marine Elite slot (barring Dreadnoughts, which are better...)

All the same, let's do a ThunderBubble style list using GK Termies instead.

Grey Knights Once More - ZeroHammer!

This list plays upon the time-honoured concept of HeroHammer (also known as 2nd Edition 40k/5th Edition WFB) and inverts it, creating a list where the mice become men, Petruchio.

Guys, essentially, who aren't for/capable of heavy lifting are being press ganged into it here - let's see if they are up to the challenge...

(I've got a) Silver Marine

Yet another Grey Knights Army List for your perusal mes amis.

This time, exactly what it says on the tin - a 'horde' list to put Orks to shame.  Only...it's going to be Silver Marines.  Teh Sauce.

Placebo Grey Knights (Special Kneeds)

Let's have a list, using the Grey Knights Codex, to do something LoganWing can only dream of.

Well...it can do it too, but less effectively.  Time to MIN out my FoC, mofos.

Second GK list - No Added Sugar, Salt, MSG, or GK!

A different approach this time, now we're approaching the army from the perspective of 'just how many Multi-Meltas can I actually have?'

This is quite possibly a list I will be compelled to buy stuff for, because it looks like a lot of fun, even if not truly amazing.

So...selling out.

With my shiny new photographs of the Grey Knight Codex (barring a few bottoms of pages, and with the first group of Inq Henchmen too blurry to read the Bestiary sections of) I have been thinking how to make a nice fun army of Adeptus Custodes with the book.

So sue me.
