Follow Up - Thoughts To Come!


Well needless to say I've been obsessing over the new Grey Knights information over the last few days, working out rough army builds and themes based on the sizable amount of info we now have. I'll get to these thoughts soon in another post [read: large post] but for now here is another compilation created some some chaps over on Bolter & Chainsword who seems even more dedicated than me to orderliness! There's a few new bits of  info on here, but I personally haven't seen them confirmed by a reliable source.

Pinch of salt as always:




Rumour Summary

Grey Knight Special Rules:

Aegis: Psykers targeting a squad with Aegis suffer -1 Ld. Psykers within 12" of a dreadnought with Reinforced Aegis suffer -4 Ld.
