1000pt GK beginner

[mordaem]

Looking to start running a Grey Knight list against some friends in a casual setting. Almost every army is present except Grey Knights which is why I decided to go with them. I came up with 2 different lists I feel would be fun to play but since nobody I know runs them I'm unsure which one, if any, would actually work.

List #1

HQ
1x Ordo Malleus Inquisitor (30pts)
- Psybolt Ammo

Troop
10x Strike Squad (250pts)
- 1 Daemon Hammer
- 2 Psycannons
- Psybolt Ammo

5x Terminator Squad (225pts)
- 1 Daemon Hammer
- 4 Halberds

Heavy Support
1x Dreadnought (135pts)
- 2 TL Autocannons
- Psybolt Ammo

1x Dreadnought (135pts)
- 2 TL Autocannons
- Psybolt Ammo

Fast Attack
1x Stormraven (225pts)
- Psybolt Ammo

Total = 1000



List #2

HQ
1x Ordo Malleus Inquisitor (38pts)
- Power Armor
- Psybolt Ammo

Troop
10x Strike Squad (290pts)
- 1 Daemon Hammer
- 2 Psycannons
- Psybolt Ammo
- Rhino

10x Strike Squad (290pts)
- 1 Daemon Hammer
- 2 Psycannons
- Psybolt Ammo
- Rhino

5x Terminator Squad (245pts)
- 1 Daemon Hammer
- 4 Halberds
- Psybolt Ammo

Heavy Support
1x Dreadnought (135pts)
- 2 TL Autocannons
- Psybolt Ammo

Total = 998

First one looks fun. But I have no experience to base that on

I play GK and if you are going for fun, either one seems good. I also applaud the fact you are not running straight terminators/paladins. The first one is more balanced with the flyer and Dreads however if your friends do not play flyers in a casual fun game, maybe switch it out for another strike squad. BTW what weapons does your stormraven have?

Like kainlettern said I think they look good for 1000pts but if your friends aren't running flyers might consider dropping it...since the SR is one of the stronger flyers.
