First Foray into Grey Knights

I went to my FLGS yesterday and got a couple good games in. I didn't with either, but I learned something in each. How I'm running my GK currently is very effective against assault oriented armies, but struggles against long distance shooting armies. Here's what I ran:

HQ
Xenos Inquisitor, Conversion Beamer, servo skulls x3 -79
Crusader x4 servitor w/ hvy bolter x3 - 90
Xenos Inquisitor, Conversion Beamer, servo skulls x3-79
Crusader x4 servitor w/ hvy bolter x3 - 90

Elite
Purifier Squad x10 4x Incinerator 4x halberd, 1x Daemon hammer,
psybolt ammo, rhino (Psybolt ammo)-315
Vindicare Assassin- 130

Troops
Grey Knight Strike Squad 2x Psycannon 1x Daemon Hammer, Rhino (psybolt
ammo)- 275
Grey Knight Strike Squad 2x Psycannon 1x Daemon Hammer, Rhino(Psybolt ammo)- 275
Grey Knight Strike Squad 2x Psycannon , Rhino- 260



Heavy Support
Dreadnought 2x Twinlinked Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo- 135
Dreadnought 2x Twinlinked Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo- 135
Dreadnought 2x Twinlinked Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo- 135

1999

The S8 dakka dreads or "Psynoughts" as they are starting to be called are awesome. They can take down light tanks and tough troops with ease. This in conjunction with the conversion beamers on the inquisitors provide my long range shooting. Once the enemy gets within 24" the S7 Heavy 4 Rending psycannons come into play (and man do they like to play).

Like I said, this proved quite effective vs shorter range armies, however I struggled against a Tau player that had more long range shooting than I did. I'm thinking of putting in a couple of interceptor squads to hide behind the line of rhinos and then "shunt" 30 inches back to apply pressure (special thanks to The Brotha http://www.canabrothagetasix.com/ for the advice). I'll try these guys in the coming weeks with maybe the purifier squad split into two w/razorbacks...
