These elite Daemon hunters are the scourge of Chaos. Psykers of
the highest potency, thier minds hardened with piety and resolve, they
train endlessly in their fortress monastery on Titan, waiting to be
called into action to battle the creatures of the warp.
Any Imperial force that is involved in a battle against the forces
of Chaos may include a Grey Knight Terminator squad. These elite Marines
are never wasted against lesser opponents and may be included to fight
against a Chaos foe. They are always reserves, regardless of whether
the mission being fought allows reserves. Grey Knight Terminators will
not deploy until their enemy has been identified and the location co-ordinates
transmitted. Then they teleport to the location and assault the unholy
menace.
This most secret of Space Marine forces operates within the jurisdiction
of the Inquisitorial Ordo Malleus, of Daemon hunters as they are commonly
known.
Squad: A Grey Knight Terminator Squad consists of between five
and ten Grey Knight Terminators. The 1+ Attack bonus for having Terminator
honours and the Terminator armour`s 2+ save have been included in the
characteristics above.
Elite: The Squad counts as an Elites choice.
SPECIAL RULES
Chaosbane: Grey Knights may only be fielded against Chaos opponents.
Reserves: Grey Knights are always held in reserve, even if the
mission does not allow reserves. In addition they may only deploy once
one of the following criteria is met:
A - There are Daemons present on the battlefield (Greater
Daemons, Daemon Princes, Daemon packs, beasts or cavalry, Juggernauts
or Nurglings).
B - A Chaos Sorcerer uses a psychic power.
Equipment: Grey Knights are armed with two items exclusive to
their order, the Nemesis Force Halberd and the Aegis Suit.
Nemesis Force Halberd - This potent weapon functions as a
power weapon (negates armour saves) and in addition, always wounds
Daemons on a 2+ in close combat. It also incorporates a storm bolter
which can be fire providing the Grey Knight ai not in combat.
Aegis Suit - Woven into the Grey Knight Terminator armour
is an insulated Aegis layer. This, coupled with the armour`s purity
seals and blessings, allows a Grey Knight squad to negate psychic
powers as if armed with a Psychic Hood (see Codex Space Marines).
However Grey Knights may only attempt to negate psychic attacks that
target the Grey Knight squad itself. Only one roll is made to negate
the attack, irrespective to how many Grey Knights are tergeted.
Psychic Power: Holocaust - The squad as a whole has the psychic
power Holocaus, and it may be used at any point during the assault phase
if the squad passes a Psychic test. Place the Ordnance template in contact
with one of the Grey Knights. All models under the template suffer a
Strength 5 hit at AP5. Wounds inflicted count towards the combat result.
Fearless: Grey Knights are fearless and are assumed to pass
any Morale check or Pinning test that they are required to make.

|
|
There is much darkness awaiting us,
yet the Emperor lights our path.
Falsehood surrounds us at every turn,
yet no traitor shall confound us. |

No despicable trickery will thwart us,
no damnation shall bring us low.
There is no peace for us,
for an eternity we will strive. |
|
Though mere mortals in His service,
everlasting shall be our true duty.
