Grey Knights - Troops

This section being reviewed covers the basic troops for the Grey Knights. This section has changed the most from previous version. Troops choices now are Grey Knight Terminator Squads and Grey Knight Strike Squads. Dedicated Transports are Rhinos and Razorbacks for the Grey Knights.

Grey Knight Terminator Squad
In comparison to other Terminator units, the Grey Knight squads are also 5 Terminators but have the option to upgrade the Nemesis Force Swords to the other Nemesis weapons. For every 5 terminators, one could buy a support weapon for the squad. The squad could replace one NFW for a Brotherhood Banner to upgrade the squad. As expensive as each Terminator costs, the combat potential might be worth the costs. This helps to match the previously established history of Terminator troops clearing the path for a commander to banish the daemon prince.

Justicar Thawn
Thawn is an upgrade for Terminator Squads. He's also immortal. He's a Terminator Justicar who can't die. Despite his longevity, he doesn't have really upgraded stats. He has an ability to re-awaken after dying during a game, making him really hard to kill. However, his fluff made him a Highlander.

Grey Knight Strike Squad
This is a unit that provides a general with a cheap selection. There was a cost improvement compared to the previous edition. To help the Strike Squad to match up with the fluff, Strike Squads may now Deep Strike. In addition, they have the option to use a Rhino or a Razorback. To help protect the infantry squad, they could use the psychic power of Warp Quake (Enemy Deep Strike impacted). They can get a support weapon for every 5 Strike Squad members and they may replace their Nemesis Swords for other weapons.

Rhino and Razorbacks
These transports are identical to the standard variants, except they have Psyker Pilots. Specially, they are only available to non-Terminator units. They also can upgrade with special Grey Knight equipment.

What isn't in the dedicated transport section is a Land Raider. This means that the Land Raider will be competing for a FOC choice.
