What unit should I get?

[Captain Antargo]

I am going to start Grey Knights and I am wondering what would be the best to start of with, what would you recommend based on your experience? I am more of a close combat and assault sort of person if that helps.

Power armored Grey Knights. Magnetize your heavy weapons and the back packs. Interceptors are great.

[Waking Dreamer]

Draigo, a couple of NDKs and a box of Terminators to make the Apothecary (to heal Draigo and infantry), Brotherhood Ancient (+1A to infantry) and some Paladins (accompany Draigo to assault and chop things).

First thing to know about Grey Knights is that almost every single unit in the Codex comes from two kits - the Strike Marines box and the Terminators box. As mentioned above, magnetizing the backpacks on the power armoured marines will give you interchangeable Strikes/Interceptors. Terminators can be fielded as either the Troops or Elites equivalent, Paladins. The Dreadknight can be used as a Grand Master Dreadknight - with various combinations (GMDK, Strike Squad, Paladins or GMDK, Termie Squad, Interceptors) you could write up a 700-750pts Patrol to start getting a feel for the army, and see in which direction you want to steer your force!

 

Note: Said Strike Marine box can also be used to build Purgation and Purifier Squads, and the Terminator kit to build various characters - Ancients, Brother-Captain/Grand Master and the Apothecary.
