1,500pt All Foot GK Lists (RTT Next Weekend)

I'm taking a quick break from my batreps since it's the weekend and they just seem like a ton of work right now so I thought I'd share the idea of an army I might run at 1,500 next weekend. I'm kinda in love with non-mech lists right now for some reason so this is going to be a GK all-foot list.

HQ

Inquisitor-80
Psycannon, Terminator Armor

Inquisitor-80
Psycannon, Terminator Armor

Elite

5 Purifiers-144
2xHalberds, 2xPsycannons

5 Purifiers-146
3xHalberds, 2xPsycannons

Troop

10 Strike Grey Knights-240
2xPsycannon, Psybolt Ammo

10 Strike Grey Knights-250
2xPsycannon, Psybolt Ammo, Hammer

10 Strike Grey Knights-250
2xPsycannon, Psybolt Ammo, Hammer

Fast Attack

10 Interceptors-310
2xPsycannon, Psybolt Ammo, Hammer

So you have some speed in the form of the Interceptors. Tons of St5 shots spread throughout along with Psycannons. 14 Psycannons should put a dent in most mech lists and 52 models isn't something easy to take out in 1,500pts. The Purifiers add some horde control with Purifying Flame as well as add extra Psycannons which should be helpful.

I'm torn between the above list and this:

HQ
Grandmaster-175

Elite
7 Purifiers-146
5xHalberds, 2xPsycannons

Troop
10 Strike Grey Knights-250
2xPsycannon, Psybolt Ammo, Hammer

10 Strike Grey Knights-250
2xPsycannon, Psybolt Ammo, Hammer

Fast Attack
10 Interceptors-310
2xPsycannon, Psybolt Ammo, Hammer

10 Interceptors-310
2xPsycannon, Psybolt Ammo, Hammer

It's got less Psycannons (10 instead of 14) but it has more flexibility. More speed, similar number of models, but the ability to adjust better to the mission through the GKM as well as a best of a CC character if it's needed.

Thoughts everybody?

I guess I can deep six my Nids I was thinking of bringing.
2 lean, mean fighting machine lists you have there. one, half dozen of the other.

I think Nids compete very, very well at 1,500 but to each his own :) I'll be looking for you and your son and one of your 15ish armies :)

Assuming this is at the new Misty location, based off their missions I would say the first list would be better. The troops, besides being tough to take out at this point level will help with objective heavy games and you are not too high in kill points. Plus the higher amount of cannons helps a bunch.

If you report at all about the tournament I would really like to hear what the new location they have is like. I have an internship in MI this summer so I can't make it to the new place to see it myself.

I'll do a quick batrep/review of the tourney after I'm done. It won't be as indepth as my GT coverage or batreps but it'll be a nice little article most likely. I'll see ya round there in the fall buddy.
You still in MN Hulk? If so, I assume its the Misty Mtn tournament? You'll have to tell me how the new place looks. I moved out of the area before they left the old location, so I've yet to see the place. :(

I'll let you know how it goes Laeroth. I haven't been to the new location yet either as I'm not a big fan of team tournaments. It got moved to Sunday this weekend so we'll see how it goes.
I suppose I should have read everyone's comments before I did mine. lol! The guy above me asked pretty much the same damn thing as I did, but I wasn't paying attention. haha. xD
