I love my GKs, spent between 1000-2000 hours converting/painting every single model.
To bad they are gimped in codex imp, your own battle reports show how horribly their playtesting was done, there is nothing in the form of staying power or counter for things like plasma maulerfiends, ranged anti armour is even more laughable then what orks have despite having superduperawesome a-few-in-the-entire-galaxy psycannons and the gk terminators are a pathetic joke everybody wants to take but nobody really does for good reasons.
it is a bitter pill to swallow having to basically pack up my army the second I see the opponent whip out some 1ksons with plasma support armour/mc or a tank heavy theme knowing I´ll auto loose weighted down with overpriced waterguns having to footslog across a plasma filled table being forced to hit enemy tanks in melee.
I hope gw has mended some of that shit in the “real” codex now. Its not fun being shoehorned into yet another edition of fringe allied support or having my terminators shelved collecting dust again.
These guys say hi and ask why they are useless because of retard point costs, ranged weapons even orks laugh at and one-power-only libby killing special rules?
Though at least these guys can still be used and are actually good contrary from 7:th (cred to the playtesters, I´m not only complaining, I praise too) which is fun since it was a bitch to make custom made ammo magazine hoppers for every single one of them, lol
Well, you have to remember who is playing them in our bat reps, lol. The Salty Banana is an awesome dude but he is not an awesome 40k player, lol. We’re working on getting him better, though.
Your army look bad ass though, dude. Nice work!
Some of the playtesters have been bringing them to tournaments and doing very well. Plasma is rough for them but hang in there, the dex is around the corner.
Well true, it just MIGHT be me being extra sucky at 40k, who knows. I would love to be wrong about all my complaints despite the embarrassment of it lol.
If you see me being outright wrong about something do tell me.
Thanks for the compliment, takes lot of hours to resculpt and paint all the minis though you should see my salamanders, oh boy. Here´s a small example of a custom sculpted bike librarian torso/head (predator movie inspired face mask):
Hang in there, I just might send you a custom sculpted MC or squad as a gift to have in your store and maybe batreps dooown the line as a personal thanks for a good job on an in general awesome 8th edition.
Gawd no.
Wait till the GK codex is released and maybe they will actually be playable without overpriced watercannons on overpriced terminators.
I actually really like GK. I have been toying with making a Samurai themed army of them for ages, might actually follow through on it, now =)

I´m telling you Reece, for someone who has dedicated my whole heart into this army (pics of my GKs can be seen by simply googling “grey knights”)
