This is the list I fielded over the weekend, during the 2500pts tournament down at Knightfall games. Normally I do not like to post the current list that I am fielding. This list is different, simply because I do not care for it. It was the Mordrak and ghost knights that I felt would not hold their weight, or make their points. I was hoping that tactically it would make up for it.


So please do not take this list as a sure thing, just because its on the Internet and did well in one tournament. Luck is always a factor in a tournament setting. Also a list does not make the player.

That aside. Here is the list.

Total Roster Cost: 2500

Notes:
Not once did I combat squad my purifiers. Mordraks was taken, because I wanted access to grand strategy, and in reality he only costs 25pts more than a standard Grand Master and gets 1 extra wound and a master crafted daemonhammer. Of course his ability to spawn ghost knights, and deep strike round one.

His whole job was to deep strike forward onto the board, find cover.... ghost knights have stealth, and see if they survive long enough to assault anyone.

Meanwhile the rest of my army moves forward into range. I primarily wanted grand strategy for flexibility of tactics, mostly for scout and re-rolling ones to wound.

Why 5 ghost knights? They cost the same as my venerable dread, which I had two in the list. I simply removed one after deciding on Mordrak, and added them in. I figured they would be harder to kill than a venerable dread if I could get them into cover.
