The Grey Knights are not just silver Space Marines with fancy halberds.
They are the Imperium’s psychic scalpel, carving daemons out of reality before whole systems melt into the warp. Therefore they come loaded with kit that is purpose built to ruin Neverborn. And they do it while teleporting, chanting, and swinging truesilver like it is Sunday practice. So let’s break down every shiny new toy highlighted in this preview, and why it matters on the table.
Guns first: storm bolters, psycannons, and psilencers
Grey Knights keep both hands free for daemon skull cracking, so their classic storm bolters are wrist mounted. This keeps blades ready while the dakka keeps flowing. Psycannons are the iconic step up, still bolter kin, but firing silver tipped shells that blaze with the wielder’s will. They hit daemons hard because the ammo and the mind behind it both hate the warp. Psilencers sit in the weird tech bucket. They are likely xenos in origin, and they do not even have a firing mechanism. Instead they amplify the Knight’s psychic output into soul seeking bolts. In play terms, you lean on psycannons for hard hitting reliability, while psilencers spike mortals or volume. However both keep your elite bodies relevant at range.
Nemesis force weapons: the real daemon killers
Close combat is where Grey Knights finish the job. Nemesis force weapons are iron and truesilver wrapped around raw willpower. Swords, halberds, hammers, staves, you name it, they all crackle with psychic fury. Consequently even a basic Strike Marine can punch way above his weight into warp trash. The preview spotlights two Grand Master scale beaters. The Nemesis flail throws out ten attacks at Strength 5, AP -1, Damage 2, which shreds elite infantry and lesser daemons through weight of swings.
The Nemesis mace is a precision executioner. It hits at Strength 6, AP -3, Damage 3, and packs Anti Character 2 plus Precision, so enemy sorcerers and buff captains just evaporate.
Enter the Nemesis Dreadknight with brand new toys
Sometimes the infestation is too thick for Paladins alone. That is when the Nemesis Dreadknight stomps in, piloted by a psyker whose will literally moves the frame. Techmarines on Titan have upgraded the chassis with new psychic keyed hardware. The Sublimator is the headline gun. It is a four barrel melta that scales off the user’s mind, with Melta 4, Twin linked, Strength 9, AP -4, Damage 6, on two shots at 18 inches. Therefore a Grand Master can point and delete a Great Unclean One’s smile in one volley. It is short range, but your teleport tricks solve that.
Sanctic Conclave Battleforce: your path to the new sprue
If you want the Sublimator, Nemesis flail, and the mace, you grab the Sanctic Conclave battleforce. It is the first box that ships the new Dreadknight upgrade frame. It also packs a fragstorm grenade launcher harness and fresh cosmetic bits, so your next Grand Master looks distinct from the old kit. Therefore competitive players and collectors both have a reason to snag it early.
How this all actually plays on the table
Grey Knights live and die on mobility and spike damage. The new Sublimator gives you a reliable anti monster tap, which the army often lacked outside mortal wound dumps. Meanwhile the flail lets a Dreadknight mulch multi wound infantry without overkill. And the mace gives you a clean answer to pesky characters hiding behind Precision walls. Pair these with teleport redeploys and you create a hit and fade rhythm where your elites never trade evenly.
Summary
The article is a love letter to the Grey Knights toolbox. We get reaffirmed ranged staples in storm bolters, psycannons, and psilencers. We see Nemesis force weapons framed as the ultimate daemon enders. Most importantly, we get a big shake up to the Dreadknight loadout with the Sublimator, the Nemesis flail, and the Nemesis mace. Therefore Grey Knights gain better profile variety to match their teleport heavy tempo.
