It has begun!
Here’s the very cool list Lawrence went undefeated (6-0) with at the Beachhead Brawl Major this previous weekend. The new Grey Knights are no joke post CA and PA. What do you all think? The beginning of a Meta shift or a flash in the pan?

Love the list, though the (actual) list seems weird around the Paladins.
The first paladin squad is listed at 440 and then 460… is actually 440 for the loadout.
The second paladin squad is listed at 220 for a 5 man (which is correct) but otherwise lists 4 psycannons in the squad (which you can’t take at that number).
Ok ignore me I see the second squad is full sized… lotta dakkka
Yeah, beefcake units!
4 psycannons in 1 squad of paladin? Is that legal?
They can take 2 special weapons per 5
The list may have been transcribed inaccurately, too.
He doesn’t want anyone to be alarmed…. but we should be alarmed.
I am quite alarmed.
Lawrence is such a beast. I wish he’d do an all out ITC campaign for a season.
I doubt your going to find many pilots who can drive that list as well as Baker will. He’s been looking for a chance to play a Grey Knight list for awhile. He KNOWS that army.
That said … I think it has movement shenanigans akin to Raven Guard and with all that dakka reminds me of a Aggressor list that Strikes from the Shadows … but differently. SO it just might be one of the next Factions stepping up.
I’ll wait for any judgments on most of the Meta for the Spring FAQ to hit us.
