Editing List of 40K Cheese (section)

===[[Grey Knights]]=== 
Seriously, there's a shitload to explain here for the noobs:

* First and foremost, Psycannons - S7 AP4 rending on models that could otherwise always shoot them.
* Psybolt ammunition, leading to the creation of the much feared Psyfleman Dreadnought, pumping out 4 S8 AP4 twin-linked shots a turn.
* Kaldor Draigo outcreeding Creed and just generally being a monster (unless and until he fought Abaddon).
* EVERYTHING ARMED WITH A FUCKING FORCE WEAPON SERIOUSLY WTF - in particular, Force Halberds. Auto-take, granting all the bonuses of a nemesis force weapon and +2 Initiative, meaning your silver armoured Mary Sues struck before most Eldar units.
* Librarians with a flamer template that removed models from play - not just instant death, they took an initiative test or were removed from play doling out auto-pens to vehicles.
* The only list that could take Assassins or Inquisitors, which both got buffed into the fucking sky.
* The goddamn Nemesis Dreadknight debuted here - absolutely broken if not expensive (MC w/ 2+ save, psychic powers).
* Oh hey, they ''also'' got stormravens - on top of being immune to melta weapons and transporting an OP squad plus an OP dreadnought, the GK stormraven could also take psybolt ammo for its heavy bolters, assault cannons, etc.
* They were more point efficient then normal marines. A tactical squad cost 90 points, giving you 4 bolters boys and a sergeant. A GK strike squad cost 100 points, for 5 guys with force weapons, storm bolters, and a psychic power. For 10 points, they could move, unload 10 bolter rounds at full range, then assault with weapons that ignored armour and could inflict instant death or strike at S5. 

People hated the Grey Knights - even longtime GK players hated them. A list that was built to destroy daemon armies got buffed into a list with units that were just flat-out better than anyone else could field. And this was during a time when you didn't even need a special list to destroy daemon armies because they were so bad - seriously, it wasn't uncommon for GK players to fight demons without suffering so much as a wound! In protest, some GK players took to making lists that used none of the staples mentioned above in order to give themselves a challenge.
