How to Start a Grey Knights Army in Warhammer 40K - Grey Knight Beginners in 10th Edition

MAJOR CORRECTION - Titan is a moon of Saturn, not Jupiter. I'm disgusted I've let myself down like that! :D

As soon as the range gets updated upscale, I am 100% getting a GK army.

I should point out that you can build generic GK Grand Masters, Captains and even Librarians out of the GK terminator kit, and your GK Champion is just a dude in power armor, so you can build one from the Strike Squad kit. At current in 10th, having Land Raiders, Razorbacks and Dreadnaught Ancients is a handy way to get Lascannons on the table, as your Dreadknights might not be enough. Last Christmas I painted a 3200pt GK Army over 3 weeks (vacation) GK are extremely painter friendly. Yes, they have filigree in many places but they're generally easy to reach and a touch of Retributor Armor followed by Agrax is enough. Grey Knight Steel Air paint is really good (I airbrushed, but it goes on pretty good by hand as well) and Drakenholf Nightshade as recess wash works perfectly. A friend of mine did a GK army in 5th edition just by drybrushing silver over black, followed by a blue ink wash to make the armor look ancient. I've also seen silver zenithals over black do a really effective job on GK. GK boxes are also a great source of bits for other space marine armies, as they're chock full of swords and hammers and books and stuff. The Terminator Daemonhammer especially works great in the hands of the new SM Jump Captain, and the Force Staff head makes for a great Iron Halo.

I will buy an entire GK army... when they get a proper range refresh with modern scaling.

My current competitive list is 3 combat patrols. It is one of the cheapest, easiest armies to get competitive

Been a Grey Knights player since 8th and I love them to death. By far my favorite faction in the game

I remember reading somewhere that Grey Knights newbies seem to have something like a 40+% winrate against veteran players. Perhaps a testament to the strength of their teleporting gimmick.

I began looking into Grey Knights just the other day and today I see you released a video yesterday 😅 Very convenient timing. Thanks again for another informative video 👍

I’ve picked up grey knights as my first army. Love the models so far. Just bought a combat patrol and planning on doing 2 more then getting some characters

Silver or Gold, Grey Knights or Custodes. I personally am going to start playing custodes because I like the sculpts more, but I like grey knights more from a mechanical standpoint; especially if you compare 9th edition custodes vs grey knights.

nice of you to mention onelastblade and 40kdirtbags, great channels and people such as yourself auspex!

One thing you should mention is how it feels to play grey knights, in all my casual games I get people raging or acting really annoyed with the teleport mechanics, what can you do

I really love the Grey Knights' lore and aesthetic.. but I just wish there was a bit more variety in the unit options. There are only terminators in different flavors, marines in different flavors and dreadknights.

ive just wrapped up my first 2000pt grey knight army. I started with 1 combat patrol and grandmaster voldus, and since have bought 1 strike squad pack, 2 terminator packs, crowe, and then kitbashed kaldor draigo with a leviathan captain, and a grand master with a regular leviathan terminator. ive spent a little under $400 total for what i'd call a good army

Just bought the combat patrol last weekend.. perfect timing

A little advice for people staring grey knights: The melee weapons on Dreadknights are easily swappable, with no need for magnets!

When I started mine I got lucky and found someone selling their GK half of their TS/GK box. It came with Crowe, a DK and 10 strike squad. Combine that with a combat patrol and you've got a very solid base to work with.

I just want some updated grey knight models. By far, they are my favorite looking army.

Damn dude you read my mind

Havent actually played a game with them, but have recently falling in love with them, a few GW minis but mostly 3D printed
