What about Grey Knights?

[Halollet]

I haven't seen anyone talking about GKs at all. So an open question has any played them or against them? How are they holding up in 8th?

[endgame422]

Played 3 games against so far,with a 4th in 2 weeks.
2 games with my Nids,1 game with Tsons.
Overall they seem pretty solid,alot like they have been in editions past.
Good saves on everything,paladins with staves are really tough to deal with(although stupid expensive) they come out with 2+/4++/3Wounds with combibolters and 3 S6 Ap-1 D3dam attacks each. Guy I play always teleport strikes like 5 of them right up in my grill,uses their teleport psychic power on a dreadknight, and rushes with a storm-raven/landraider chock full of purifiers.
Makes a pretty good alpha strike since he only has like 10 units at 2000 points he usually goes first.
Against my Nids he murdered my nidzilla list with his good invulnerable saves and force weapons(all of them are AP-1 at least and D3 dam) but really struggled against my horde of gaunts/stealers. He just didn't have the raw number of attacks to kill off 120+ models.
Psychic phase is really good for them,even with only 1 MW per caster he usually throws 5 or 6 MW a turn before the purifiers make combat and then more like 9 or 10
Tsons fared pretty well by denying lots of his psychic powers and outshooting him.
Overall I see GK as being a good elite army, but they seem to have most of the same weaknesses as any other elite army,low model count,high cost per unit and very little room for tactical errors.

Ya deep striking storm bolters are Pretty good. 4 shots each at 12 inches or less.

I've gone 5 of 6 with my knights in this edition. Mostly against IG and necrons. With GoI being available basically army wide and the massive improvements for deep striking they feel like real competitors now. Very mobile and NDKs are still very effective. Just wish they would bring back psybolt ammo.

How's the new book looking?

[Hive Bahamut]

They do have Psybolt ammo as a Strategem. 4 shots at S5 is a little hectic to spam I imagine.

Don't forget ap -1.
