Forever Mechanicus...

So, while this isn't about Grey Knights I would like to post a cool idea I will be trying one day.


Yeah, I think a perfect Adeptus Mecanicus army is possible with the new Grey Knight Codex

And here is how I would do it...

HQ: Tech Magos (Coteze) 100pts

Elite: Venerable Dreadnought with Autocannons and Psy bolt ammo  195pts

Elite: Venerable Dreadnought with Autocannons and Psy bolt ammo  195pts

Troop: 10 Grey Knights, 2 with Psycannons, Justicar w hammer 220pts

Troop: 3 warriors, 3 servitors with Multi Meltas                       97pts
           Chimera

Troop: 8 warriors, 5 with Storm Bolters, 3 with Meltaguns      132pts
           Chimera

Troop: 8 warriors, 5 with Storm Bolters, 3 with Meltaguns      132pts

           Chimera

Troop: 8 warriors, 5 with Storm Bolters, 3 with Meltaguns      132pts

           Chimera

Troop: 8 warriors, 5 with Storm Bolters, 3 with Meltaguns      132pts

           Chimera
Heavy: Dreadnought with Autocannons and Psy bolt ammo 135pts

Heavy: Dreadnought with Autocannons and Psy bolt ammo 135pts

Heavy: Dread Knight with Heavy Incinerator and Teleporter 235pts

Well, there it is. now let me break it down.

The servitors and  Magos drive into the middle with their multimeltas

Dread knight follows

The rest of the army shoots you to death in a rather spectacular way.

Its not the optimum, but still really good. If this wasn't a themed list I would dump the Dread knight and get another dreadnought and more dakka some where. But it fits perfectly and makes an awesome centerpiece.

Right now use the Dreadknight as a bothersome monster and let the enemy deal with it instead of your tanks.

Now modeling is the fun part.

For the Magos, something like this...

Just a little bit more human-ish but that's the basics right there.

For the Warriors...

have got to figure out how to make these

For the Grey Knights...

So expensive, but so worth it


For the Dread Knight...

By the Machine God! That almost makes me want to buy a dreadknight...

For the Dreadnoughts I have my own Ideas but this is a great start.

While I am building Grey Knights for now, one day I will return and forge this list, make it look beutiful and then kneel before the Alter of Technology and worship my God...

Turns out you CAN buy salvation...
