Warhammer 40,000/3rd Edition Tactics/Daemonhunters

Why Play Daemonhunters

Because you want to take the least amount of dudes than everyone else, but still pay as much. Also SILVER PAINT EVERYWHERE.

Unit Analysis

HQ

• Grey Knight Grand Master

• Grey Knight Brother-Captain - Poor mans HQ choice, exactly the same as a Grey Knight Terminator squad leader. Only 1 wound makes him vulnerable in melee, though if you insist on using him you are best off giving him psycannon, master-craft it and start shooting.

• Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Lord

• Inquisitor Lord Coteaz Torquemada

• Brother-Captain Stern

Elite

• Grey Knight Terminator Squad

• Ordo Malleus Inquisitor

• Daemonhosts

• Death Cult Assassins

• Callidus Assassin

• Culexus Assassin

• Eversor Assassin

• Vindicare Assassin

Troop

• Grey Knight Squad

• Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

Fast Attack

• Grey Knight Teleport Attack Squad - Same as a Grey Knight Squad, only can Deep Strike. Better off using these guys as Troops Choice

Heavy Support

• Grey Knight Purgation Squad - Same as a Grey Knight Squad, though you can take up to 4 psycannons or incinerators. Use is debatable for the firepower against infantry, though you really need some anti-vehicle weaponry.

• Orbital Bombardment - Congratulations, you just lost a heavy support choice. In an army where you will always be outnumbered, you need as many bodies on the table as possible.

Note, the following can only be taken if a Grey Knight Grand Master, Brother-Captain, or Stern are taken as HQ choices.

• Grey Knight Dreadnought

• Grey Knight Land Raider

• Grey Knight Raider Crusader

• Grey Knight Land Raider Redeemer

Building your Army

Buy Grey Knights pretty much, though Inquisitor Lord Torquemada is a very good choice for HQ.
