Grey Knight Armored Spearhead - 1850


I’ve been on a bit of a Land Raider kick lately. I’ve been pondering tons of lists featuring 3+ Land Raiders since I think they’d be fun. I blame a fella at a local event this weekend who mentioned the 5 Land Raider Blood Angel list for getting my mind going down this road. Anywho:

1,850 on the nose.

So this list has a few things going for it. It’s got six scoring unit and nine vehicles. Of the nine vehicles three are Land Raiders with plenty of anti-tank that can pretty much ignore anything short of being exploded. You’ve got the extra Psycannon bunkers in the form of the Purifiers in Rhinos and then some supporting strength 6 firepower from the small henchmen squads. Also in a pinch the 3 units in the Land Raiders could do some nice damage to MEQ squads or even terminator units outside of cover. Overall I think it’s a pretty solid list.

Thoughts?
