Which bits do you like mate?

I just see a whole host of negatives, anything that makes gk good or even different from generic marines. But could be missing some thing :p

Would be nice for my herald not to perils turn one though to be honest with grey knights having daemonbane on the everything it's very unlikely with my current daemon collection that I could do anything to combat it!

It's not that bad Dan, if you're going to be assaulting GKs then make sure you at least try to deny the force weapon power of said unit, which stops the re-roll to wound and the instant death.

Daemons will still beat gks because gks won't have the fire power or numbers to stop them.

Unless they ally in guard :p
