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. The models also subscribe to the rule of cool.

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.
