In this video I go over the basics of making a Grey Knights battle roster in Warhammer 40,000 9th edition. My lists lean heavily on narrative, but are still powerful.
I’m just starting to get into warhammer and I was excited to finally have settled on GreyKnights. I was getting so overwhelmed with what models to buy first, what books I need, and hell how to paint the damn things. This video and channel really help me figure out where to focus and how to start
My buddy and I are getting into warhammer together, his first army is going to be the blood angels where I chose the grey knights. I'm super excited to start collecting, painting and playing.
I am new to the game and I pretty much fell in love with Grey Knights as soon as I saw them because they look and pretty much are...well...knights. But the problem is that I have never seen anyone use them. So I am glad that there is someone who is here to show me how to get started
That grandmaster conversion with the custodes cape is awesome, might nab the cape idea for my own conversion ;) with different weapons and iconography of course
A great breakdown. While I want to make clear I think Terminators will still be the slightly better option for Troops in 9th Edition (Especially with Obsec), I do think the 2W Strike Squads will also be a very viable option in army lists as well since they are essentially almost half the point cost of a Terminator Squads and lighter and quicker on their feet; same with Interceptors. We'll have more confirmation once the new Codex releases, which can't arrive soon enough.
I'm jus starting up GKs , other army is Space Wolves. Your channel has been an absolute god send an helped out so much. Keep up the amazing work an content. P.S i loved the kamehameha reference 🤣🤣👊👊
This was actually really helpful and entertaining to watch, thank you. I haven’t fully committed myself to the table part of the hobby, more into painting the models at the moment and currently doing some Grey Knight conversions. Using the Allarus Custodes terminators as my base for these GKs and since those are some pretty pricy bois, I kinda was to make good use of the three of them I have so far. I wanted to ask what do you recommend I make these three models as just in case I get into the actual game I would already have three good-looking GK models ready to go. Since they will look a little different I wanted to make these three models into HQs. One can definitely be my Grand Master, but the other two? Maybe a Chap? Librarian? Techie? Wacha think?
You couldn't go wrong making those Allarus Terminators into Paladins! Paladins are our Elite infantry, being beefier and killier than our Troops Terminators. In the lore, they are the greatest warriors in our chapter, excelling in combat and dedicated to protecting the Grand Masters. They also come in a minimum unit of three! Using Allarus Terminators would definitely make them look the part.
@@onelastblade3913 Exactly! I brushed up on the lore and loved every word of it. I had the same idea, making them into Paladins but initially thinking Paladin-squads are in 5s 😳 didn’t think they were a minimum of 3! So that’s good. And i have a 3-man Eradicators whom I see as a possible Purifier Squad??? P.S For fluff reasons, do you recommend equipping these Paladins with nemesis force swords instead of Halberds/Hammers/ Axes? Cause they’re technically just a bunch of Champions, the one class that drops everything else just to master the sword right? Same goes for the Purifiers, I know about their Psy-fire-cannon thing but they also equip other weapons right? Like Crowe? (Even if he might be a bad example just cause he is stuck with a demonic sword and probably doesn’t have much of any other choice for a weapon).
The lack of terminator squad options in fast attack and heavy support options I always find awkward. That said purifiers with a 3 up invulnerability save with the strat could be interesting whenever they get the 2w update. Also greetings from Diemos the delivery servitor will be arriving shortly.
@@onelastblade3913 that would be likeliest way gw would implement it. Though most most people shoot down jet packs even though we have hover tanks and fly boys with miniguns in the primaris range. What I would really like them to be would probably ending up costing more points wise than paladins unless there were almost strictly assault which would be very unfluffy of GK.
I haven’t played since 5th and still have an entire army of metal grey knights. Thinking about coming back. I have Vostroyan IG, GKs, and some non-primaris marines. Thinking about GKs. Any word on a new codex release date. Saw something about a tzench vs GKs box set with new rules. Also, how did your make that Dread Knight?
It's really cool seeing list building with narrative consideration! I struggle with page 13 of the codex a lot, with it naming all the "canon" grandmasters and brother-captains of all 8 brotherhoods, so seeing you go all out with Simandus gives me confidence in crafting my own brotherhood lore! Also! How do you feel about Assassins? Especially with the Agent of the Imperium rule letting an Inquisitor or Assassin per detachment not take up a slot, and not break army rules, I think they can really add something to lists. I also always plan around two detachments since I want at least 4 HQ slots in any given list for Dominus power redundancy, so getting to take both really gives me the feeling of being an army that's part of the larger Inquisition.
I know what you mean about page 13. I tell myself that that chart is simply a snapshot in time. Perhaps my games and my lore take place a century or two before what's noted in the codex, or maybe after! Warhammer lore is so fluid and encompassing that anything is possible. Sometimes I bring a Vindicare Assassin in my games! She consistently disappoints me, however. I think the model is good, but she always misses her first shot. It might be that I only face fairly elite armies--I bet against Guard or Genestealers she would tear through HQs.
I bring along my Inquisitor quite often, and the 7th is known for long standing cooperation with the Ordo Malleus. I wrote a couple of stories a few years ago centered around the joint operations of Grand Master Simandus and Inquisitor Felencia. Their relationship was contentious, to say the least!
I like how you don't mention our fast attack dudes but I guess it's fair given your stance on plain power armor boys 😆. Good video, I completely glossed over the apothecary strategy. I'm newish to GKs, I've used GKDKs and voldus in soup lists in 8th, but now I'm plunging into the army for 9th as my main army (guard) are on the shitter.
What are the bits you used to kitbash for the grandmaster conversion? Loving the look of that model. Is the sentinel blade a proxy for something or are you using as-is.
He was a fun one. He's the typical GK Terminator kit, mostly, but I threw on the Custodes cape and sword and an icon from the Space Marines Tac Squad box. The trickiest part was finding a GK left arm that didn't have a storm bolter attached -- obviously his storm bolter is in the sentinel blade, right? Fortunately, the Nemesis Dreadknight has the perfect arm. I just had to trim the controller out of his hand. Rules-wise, I usually run the sentinel blade as the Blade of the Forsworn from Ritual of the Damned. For my narrative, it is Grand Master Simandus' personal weapon, the Blade of Doom Mons.
Awesome video! Building an interesting and fluffy list is so much more rewarding on the table than any cheese you could bring. I wish more people would see it that way. Also your conversions are really cool. 22:30 Question: the wording in the codex for the Ancients aura is: "...models from friendly Grey Knights infantry units that are within 6" of any sacred banner when they fight can make 1 additional attack that phase." Wouldn`t that mean that only the models that are within 6" are getting the extra attack, not the entire unit? That can be quite difficult to make work i feel like. Or is there an FAQ`d version of this rule that i don`t know?
Very good question! So the key thing to parse from the Ancient's ability is that it is saying models from friendly Grey Knights *units* that are within 6" of any sacred banner get the bonus. So if a unit is within 6", then any models in that unit get an extra attack. Because it just says "within" and not "wholly within," only one model has to be within the range of the Ancient's aura for the whole unit to benefit. Make sense?
- Two Nemesis falchions: Melee Melee User -2 D3 If a model is armed with two Nemesis falchions, each time it fights it can make 1 additional attack with them." 2 points it says in the codex now, maybe its updated.
@@onelastblade3913 Hey, I checked my history from "wahapedia.ru/wh40k9ed/the-rules/playing-this-game/" And for the life of me could not find where I copy pasted it. So the site is updated in the meanwhile. I did see for the Paladin-Ancient , its one point per falcion. "wahapedia.ru/wh40k8ed/factions/grey-knights/Paladin-Ancient"
Love the list analysis on the units, quick question though what are your thoughts on the librarians? are they just useless in GK or can they have a place, also any recommendations on the bits for conversion of the units?
On paper, they are excellent. Being able to cast two powers from a character gives you some excellent flexibility with the Dominus discipline. I've never actually used one on the table, though! And to your last point -- I've never fielded a Librarian specifically because I can't think of a conversion that I like. I'm not a fan of the classic helmetless Space Marine Librarian model, and I haven't come up with a conversion that I feel is distinct enough for my army. If you do any cool conversions yourself, let me know!
@@onelastblade3913 Gotcha, thanks for the answer, yeah i tend to not like helmetless marines either, i'll what I can think of something that can make 1 look more like a GK
I'm real thinking about getting into Warhammer 40K. After trying to decide for a week or so, I think your video has convinced me to start up a Grey Knights army. I'll probably start small and just work on building and painting a handful of models. Would you suggest picking up a terminator squad or something else? Whatever you recommend...can you tell me exactly what it's called that I should be looking for? This is still a little confusing to me (a lot). Thanks man.
It's a wonderful hobby and truly rewarding. I would strongly recommend picking up a Grey Knights Terminator Squad kit, just because of all the options in it. Nine of the units in the GK Codex are made from that kit. It's fun to just open it up and mess around with all the possibilities.
@@J155P www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Grey-Knights-Terminators-2017 Looks like they have them on the website. |If you head into your LFGS, they should be able to order it for you!
I think that you can use that weapon to destroy bikes or like multi wounded models. So bikes, dreadknoughts, Ad mech breachers, and other low strength and high save units with a few wounds
@@onelastblade3913 yeah, this was a while ago (8ish years). With initiative 6 and purifying flame, they would constantly wipe medium and light units off the board. Good times.
The Grand master nemesis redemptor is rly awesome. Anywhere on your vids you're showing how to do that? Sorry if I'm asking the obvious I'm pretty new to the hobby and your channel
I've actually never run a Librarian! I'm painting one up at the moment and will play him sometime soon! It is my dream that double Land Raiders will someday be a good choice. I really think LRs are awesome, and they've been doing work for me in 9th edition lately. They really break down to concentrated anti-tank fire, though, and then you're down 300 points.
Love the idea behind double lr but scared of investing in actual units with the codex on the way. Worried I’ll drop cash on units which may become trash in just a few months
I am just starting my first ever army and I was wondering how you got the look for your grand master in the nemesis dreadknight. I like how he doesnt look like a baby strapped to a big mech suit
@@onelastblade3913 sounds fantastic! it would be good to know what boxes you would want for 500, 1k, 1.5k and 2k points for someone beginning in this army :)
You'd cover a lot of necessities there! The biggest advantage I can think of is all of the small, cheap bodies that AdMech can bring. Back in early 8th edition, before Psychic Awakening and Tides of the Warp became a thing, I used to bring a battalion of AdMech alongside my Grey Knights to give me command points. They died so fast, but they were lovely little objective holders.
Do you mean the generic Terminator Chaplain? If so, yes! there is no 'official' model for the Grey Knights Chaplain, so we've got to incorporate the models from other Chapters.
No top list has never spammed dreads. Grand Masters in dreads are not good, they cannot be hidden behind units, Best HQs for comp play are Voldus and Librarians.
Just started 40k with some grey knights, this helps a ton. But then again the first unit i bought was a strike squad without doing any research so now im kinda fucked until i buy more terminators.
Strike squads used to be better than termies in most peoples eyes just because Falchions made them viable. But then Falchions price went up and basically everyone is dropping them. You can just paint them up with swords or halberds, and keep them as a cheap back objective holder. They arent totally useless
@@onelastblade3913 Grey Knights Psychic Awakening gave them several buffs. While you were reviewing units and such you did not reference that set of rules that made them very good for last year of 8th edition.
You have to make your own. But! The Grey Knights Terminator box is all you need! You can build 8 or 9 different types of units with that single box. For my Grand Master, I used GK Terminator bits and Custodes bits.
@@onelastblade3913 Ok nice cheers. I'll be ordering my first few models for a Grey Knights army (my first ever) in the coming weeks and I've been trying to choose my favourite models. Making my own sounds like a bit of fun I'll have to explore.
All right, I fished most of it out. The helmet is from a Primaris Reiver, the candelabra is from an AoS Nighthaunt set, and the body is from the Japanese Space Marine Heroes grab bags.
@@onelastblade3913 Hey Thank your very much! I just started my Grey Knights Army with the New Battle Box and some week later I have 2500 Point😅. I am not so longe in the Hobby so can you explain the Custodes Kitbash a bit?
Thank you! And yes, I do! You can check out my instagram at @intrinsic_grey I also have a blog that I update occasionally with some pictures! onelastblade.blogspot.com/
Another problem with battlescribe is that it is not always accurate or what it should be. Like different points, different ot missing points etc. Not used it personally but from what I've heard, I never will either.
Honestly, I used to when I first started hobbying, but magnets just feel like more effort than they're worth to me. I'm not one to worry too much about meta loadouts and typically like to theme squads and models based off of the weapons I give them. I definitely see the benefit of magnetizing, but it just isn't my jam.
@@onelastblade3913 Well, it's also that you can pose them in different ways. I can't be the only Warhammer fan that sometimes just wants to be a kid and have battles with no real rule set. _"We must purge the counter top of heretics and secure the bottle opener artifact! It is the source of chaos in these lands!"_
@@manictiger Whenever I used to walk down to the local club for a game I would carry my Stormraven in one hand and make jet fighter sounds with it as I walked down the sidewalk.
Battlescribe does not like your list. It seems like you can only take 3 characters and 1 inquisitor as an agent of the imperium, but I am new to the game so I could be missing something or several somethings.. Also seems like theres not enough points left for the dreadnought.
Unlikely! The new Codex should be coming out soon, which means that all of this will be irrelevant. Fortunately, I will be making a new video once the new Codex comes out!

We'll have more confirmation once the new Codex releases, which can't arrive soon enough.
I'm certain I'll have to rethink my stance once we get 2W Strikes! Hopefully in the first half of 2021.

I absolutely plan on it! I just want to get a few games under my belt first.
@@onelastblade3913 awesome to hear! I'm interested in grey Knights but have no idea where to start with them (what boxes, units, HQ's etc)
@@onelastblade3913 sounds fantastic! it would be good to know what boxes you would want for 500, 1k, 1.5k and 2k points for someone beginning in this army :)
I’m thinking of doing a 3000pt list mix of grey knights, ad mech and and custodes. Any ideas? Great vid
You'd cover a lot of necessities there! The biggest advantage I can think of is all of the small, cheap bodies that AdMech can bring. Back in early 8th edition, before Psychic Awakening and Tides of the Warp became a thing, I used to bring a battalion of AdMech alongside my Grey Knights to give me command points. They died so fast, but they were lovely little objective holders.
@@onelastblade3913 thanks
Been meaning to ask, what is the model for your inquisitor? Can't find anything similar on GW or 3rd party, and it's a cool style.
She is Inquisitor Sister Joan, by Victoria Miniatures. She was a limited release, unfortunately. I was very lucky to snag her!
Great video. Done super well. What did you use to make the Ordo Malleus
Inquisitor?
She is Inquisitor Sister Joan by Victoria Miniatures. A limited run, unfortunately!
And also does the terminator chaplain work with grey knights?
Do you mean the generic Terminator Chaplain? If so, yes! there is no 'official' model for the Grey Knights Chaplain, so we've got to incorporate the models from other Chapters.
Good Video, Where did you get the Inquisitor model from?
Hey! This is super late, but I got her from Victoria Miniatures.
No top list has never spammed dreads. Grand Masters in dreads are not good, they cannot be hidden behind units, Best HQs for comp play are Voldus and Librarians.
No argument there, but I’ve done good work with GMNDKs in the past. And I’m not a fan of running named characters.
Please make a new one after the 9th codex
That's the plan!
Just started 40k with some grey knights, this helps a ton. But then again the first unit i bought was a strike squad without doing any research so now im kinda fucked until i buy more terminators.
A lot of people say Strike Squads are good! They just aren't my jam. Paint them up; I'm sure they'll do you great!
@@onelastblade3913 thanks thats good to know. But i still need more terminators because they look sweet.
@@mr.unfunny329 No argument here!
Strike squads used to be better than termies in most peoples eyes just because Falchions made them viable. But then Falchions price went up and basically everyone is dropping them.
You can just paint them up with swords or halberds, and keep them as a cheap back objective holder. They arent totally useless
Curious where your Psychic Awakening book is for this army?
What do you mean?
@@onelastblade3913 Grey Knights Psychic Awakening gave them several buffs. While you were reviewing units and such you did not reference that set of rules that made them very good for last year of 8th edition.
How do you get just a grand master? I can only find listings for Voldus.
You have to make your own. But! The Grey Knights Terminator box is all you need! You can build 8 or 9 different types of units with that single box. For my Grand Master, I used GK Terminator bits and Custodes bits.
@@onelastblade3913 ah i see. Do you get left overs from building up a normal terminator squad or would you need an entire new set?
There are legs and torsos for five dudes in the box, but so many extra bits for conversions.
@@onelastblade3913 Ok nice cheers. I'll be ordering my first few models for a Grey Knights army (my first ever) in the coming weeks and I've been trying to choose my favourite models. Making my own sounds like a bit of fun I'll have to explore.
Thinking of you have that extra at the end why not take falchions
No reason not to!
What chaplain model is that ? Looks awesome.
I kitbashed him from a bunch of different models! It's been so long that I can't remember which ones, though.
@@onelastblade3913 wow wish that was an actual model looks awesome! If you remember what parts you use please let me know !
All right, I fished most of it out. The helmet is from a Primaris Reiver, the candelabra is from an AoS Nighthaunt set, and the body is from the Japanese Space Marine Heroes grab bags.
what model do you use for your custom grand master?
Just bits from the basic Terminator kit, intermixed with Custodes!
@@onelastblade3913 ok, thanks. What custodian bits did you use? I presume the sword but any other bits?
Can someone name me the Kit for the Sword of the Grande Master Conversion?
The basic Custodes kit!
@@onelastblade3913 Hey Thank your very much! I just started my Grey Knights Army with the New Battle Box and some week later I have 2500 Point😅. I am not so longe in the Hobby so can you explain the Custodes Kitbash a bit?
Just found your channel, great stuff. Do you have an Instagram or somewhere showing off your army? It looks awesome, I’d love to see some pics
Thank you! And yes, I do! You can check out my instagram at @intrinsic_grey
I also have a blog that I update occasionally with some pictures! onelastblade.blogspot.com/
@@onelastblade3913 great, I’ll check it out!
Your NDK GM, where did you get that extra Armor? That single handed fixed my hate for that mini
Hey there! I'm doing a video on how I put that model together next week! Stay tuned!
@@onelastblade3913 much love
where did you get the female inquisitor model?
Victoria Miniatures! She was the exclusive mini at Adepticon last year.
Another problem with battlescribe is that it is not always accurate or what it should be. Like different points, different ot missing points etc. Not used it personally but from what I've heard, I never will either.
It's definitely a solid tool; I use it all the time. But it needs to be used in conjunction with books.
Cool channel and video and all that but... 5:57 THOSE ARE NOT HALBERDS
GW doesn't know what weapons look like.
@@onelastblade3913 yes and it makes me and other people angry, eitherway great video
@@thegreaterrepublicofnoobla412 We all know they are glaives but... Like everything, GW forgot to do their homework
I know it's funny
With all that money and effort, why not magnetize the weapons and joints? Make them more flexible.
Honestly, I used to when I first started hobbying, but magnets just feel like more effort than they're worth to me. I'm not one to worry too much about meta loadouts and typically like to theme squads and models based off of the weapons I give them. I definitely see the benefit of magnetizing, but it just isn't my jam.
@@onelastblade3913
Well, it's also that you can pose them in different ways. I can't be the only Warhammer fan that sometimes just wants to be a kid and have battles with no real rule set.
_"We must purge the counter top of heretics and secure the bottle opener artifact! It is the source of chaos in these lands!"_
Oh yeah, and you can have limb damage. "Blasted dreadnought took my arm!"
@@manictiger Whenever I used to walk down to the local club for a game I would carry my Stormraven in one hand and make jet fighter sounds with it as I walked down the sidewalk.
Battlescribe does not like your list. It seems like you can only take 3 characters and 1 inquisitor as an agent of the imperium, but I am new to the game so I could be missing something or several somethings.. Also seems like theres not enough points left for the dreadnought.
These were with old points, alas. We have had a points update since!
woot
I just bought the grey knights codex😭 why the hell is it still there if it isn't used anymore
We were one of the first codices of 8th edition, so our rules are incredibly out of date.
Is the still valid and up to date in 2021
1st time player looking to make a 500 point army
Unlikely! The new Codex should be coming out soon, which means that all of this will be irrelevant. Fortunately, I will be making a new video once the new Codex comes out!
@@onelastblade3913 thnx for the quick response release date on new codex?
@@kern_yak_angler Alas, I do not know!
Is the grandmaster Simandus real or is that homemade?
He’s my own guy! A custom character!
"Nothing helps hammer home a rule better than physically looking at it in a book"
Lol okay boomer.
(P.s. i wish you were right, but gw is garbageIhatethemsomuch.
How do you usually look up rules?
