techsoldaten Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Didn't see this posted here. Mono Grey Knights army won the Briscon 2019 ETC Tournament. About 68 participants total, the winner played against some fairly good lists. Reddit Discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/WarhammerCompetitive/comments/bi7x5j/pure_grey_knights_just_won_an_itc_major/ Games streamed here: https://www.twitch.tv/downunder_network/videos Army list: Brother Captain (halberd + storm bolter) - warlord 112 Loremaster, Gate of Infinity, Hammerhand, Fury of Deimos Lord Kaldor Driago 180 Gate of infinity, Astral Aim Grand Master in Nemesis Dreadknight (Great sword) 205 Sanctuary Apothecary 75 Astral Aim Paladin Squad (10 models) 514 Gate of infinity, 4x psilencers, 2x Warding stave, 8x halberd Purifier squad (10 models) 210 Vortex of doom, 10x falchions Purgation squad (5 models) 105 Sanctuary Land raider (2x twin lascannon + twin heavy bolter + storm bolter) 299 Land raider (2x twin lascannon + twin heavy bolter + storm bolter) 299 General observations: - Notice those Warding staves on the Paladins? Like baby storm shields. - Good call minimizing CPs. Our Stratagems are useless. - 2x Land Raiders is a bold choice. He mostly used them to sit on objectives.

Trevak Dal Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 If you got crap strats don't waste time and effort hoping for your turd to turn into gold. Use the standard strats and bring the pain.

Biscuittzz Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 List looks like it could be quite effective. I'd like to have a look and see how the purifiers got on. I said it previously over in the recent GK tactics thread that I seriously think we are trying to force the use of battalions which I just don't think work well with GKs in the first place. I think the trade off in command points for the ability to forgo strike squads is well worth it honestly. Not to mention that strike squads generally need a buffing character and the psybolt strat to show some inkling of effectiveness anyway.

Trevak Dal Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I seriously think that GW developed some armies to NOT use battalions, and to use multiple Vanguard and Outrider detachments, to build the army with the models YOU love for the play you want. But things went awry with people taking the most powerful choices (because of course they would). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Tried to watch the saved livestream but damn 480p and a slightly shakey cam make it unwatchable. Trevak Dal 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Can't watch for some reason. But did the guy combat squad the paladins and purifiers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waking Dreamer Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Can't watch for some reason. But did the guy combat squad the paladins and purifiers? I don't think so. Part of the tournament format includes: 1. Gaining a victory point for every unit you destroy. 2, Gaining an extra victory point if you kill more units than your opponent per game turn. So, having to chew through 2 landraiders, 10 paladins, 10 purifiers buffed by Draigo and an Apothecary...is basically denying your opponents potential victory points for most of the game.

Trevak Dal Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I don't have driago but I can almost make this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Thanks for letting me know! @waking Wonder if this list would work in regular scenarios? As it is a little out of the ordinary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Only one way to know. Try it a few times and report back. ;) (I wouldn't expect too much from it though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinkosh Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 What detachment is that? 3x HQs, 3x elites and no troops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_149 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It's an outrider and vanguard detachment (says above each bit :)) really interesting concept but as he says it fitted his meta as he knew that the top armies wouldn't have any counters to what he brought but mid level (more casual players) would have the tools to defeat it. Would love to try it out but who has landraiders these days lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danarc Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 maybe a spearhead and a vanguard... :D I would like to know more about the format if someone knows it... Matt_149 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waking Dreamer Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Well he certainly promotes the Paladinstar and would be willing to try mass Purifiers (3x10-man squads) in vehicles by dropping the GMNDK. Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
