    The Grey Knight Omnibus by Ben Counter paints a really intriguing view. It isn't that they are strong individually, but rather they are insanely well educated on their enemies and with their psychic powers, represent a massive threat on the battlefield. Between their psycannons and their ability to syncronize to emit a massive blast of psychic energy...it really does make them formidable. In the first Grey Knight story for example, a Grey Knight learned the true name of one of Tzeentch's chosen and was able to use that to bind it.

      They are also VERY in tune with there Wargear. Most space marines wear hand-me-down equipment. Aegis Armour usually has a grey knight eching on all the pyshic wards on the armour themselves. Thier nemesis force weapon also grows alongside them and each one is crafted to that Grey Knight's peference, if the Grey Knight dies, the weapon becomes inhert and cannot be used by another.

      I think the months of shame was pretty even, Space Wolves were outnumbered in manpower but they had a stronger bigger fleet, also Space Wolves are a founding chapter that have a history with killing other Astartes, Grey Knights while formidable in their field which is daemons that does not translate to the Emperors Wolves skills in killing other Astartes who have been fighting everything including fellow Astartes before Grey Knights were even a full thing. Basically the Inquisition would have won or had a better chance if it was anyone but the Space Wolves or another founding chapter imo.

There's just no way Custodes won't struggle against those psykers or just get outright deleted by them. Psychic powers are op as hell and the most powerful of them would kick a Custodes ass in a 1v1. The Burning of Prospero had the Thousand Sons be subjected to brutal bombardment and not being able to effectively fight back. They then had to contend with the Sisters of Silence which nullify the warp which gave the Custodes a massive edge against the Thousands Sons who were themselves randomly turning into chaos spawns from overloading. And with all that stacked against the Thousands Sons they were still able to even the fight for a bit due to their powers. The Custodes present there had all the advantages they needed to take on the Thousand Sons.

The only benefit they have is they work really well together. Alone...well a custodes dies that way. Alpharius did his best to teach them that.

  • @FearsomeWarrior
    @FearsomeWarrior 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Custodies gene-seed was crafted by the emperor to be the best anyone could design but the Grey Knights gene-seed is made using the emperors gene-seed.
    Custodies know that the emperor made the grey knights to give his imperium a final defense against the terrors of the warp. They would fight if it was some real shit but their numbers and dedication to assignments would make it stupidly rare. More likely a custodies is protecting grey knights than ever fighting one.
    Logan Grimnar had his kingsguard with him. They were not your average space wolves that were able to kill Grey Knights.
    My understanding of their physicality is that space marines, like any large selection of people, can vary from 7 feet to 7.5 ft with a few extra tall in there. Custodies are supposed to be 9 feet tall unmovable statues. Grey knights are between the two at 8 to 8.5. There were rough approximations of this somewhere in their lore but not sure where. It’ll take two decades before the minis ever get updated. I have read about grey knights and primaris marines supposedly already being close in size but it’s unlikely this gets an official answer.
    I also think there are limits to the gear selections and are evenly matched there. They are pulling from the similar vaults of goodies. Little chance there is any drastic difference. Maybe some lean towards purpose but all relative.

    I think the space wolves only beat the Grey Knights because Logan Grimnar is a sleigh riding borderline Mary Sue, and maybe because the Wolves are strong against hostile psykers.
    In most other matchups I think the Grey Knights could be extremely powerful since they are essentially a full chapter of Librarians and on top of that most of them wear terminator armor. Just remember how strong the Thousand Sons were in the Great Crusade era. Shield spells, damage spells, seeing the future etc. I don't see how you could match them except by overwhelming numbers

    • @explorer9692

      The wolves won the way they did because the writing itself was... Off to say the least, the way the gk were going about their battles were straight up bs, they basically fought like they werent really psykers, let alone very capable/powerful ones and trying to beat space wolves in a physical fights is just dumb, especially if you're a space marine, ESPECIALLY if you're a powerful psyker who doesn't even need to lmao

      Agreed. And people always forget, it was only a portion if the Grey Knights' strength against ALL of the Space Wolves. Plus the Knights had just finished banishing Angron and lost nearly 100 warriors to do it.
      The fact is, they nearly annihilated the Wolves with a fraction of their chapter and while not really wanting to fight except being honor bound to that shit inquisitor, but the Wolves got lucky with several surprise attacks and the intercession of Bjorn, a living legend.

      I found this on the subject:
      "Some Imperial scholars have suggested that, for the Space Marines, this is due to the psychically-infused nature of the Astartes gene-seed, which could render it lethal if implanted in a subject carrying the Pariah Gene.
      It is, however, possible for a Space Marine to be transformed into a Pariah after implantation, as is the case with the Ferrymen who serve the Grey Knights."

    The scene Majorkill is talking about cutting down a Grand Master is in the novel "The Emperor's Gift" and follows the first war of Armageddon and the Months of Shame that followed.
    In the scene, Logan and his Wolf Guard demand to know why civilians in hive cities across the continent from the warzone had to be sterilized if they never knew the war had even taken place. The Grand Master (forget his name at the moment) had promised only military personnel on the actual battlefield and who witnessed demons or his brotherhood would be terminated by necessity (something Logan hated but could understand) The Grand Master had then went on to arrange a complete sterilization of the civilian population anyway and had also organized the complete eradication of every military agent in the Armageddon system as a matter of course.
    Logan cut him down so swiftly that Hyperion explains he didn't even see him lift the axe to strike. One moment he stood snarling in anger and the next his boss was dead with Logan standing over him. In an effort to prevent the wolves leaving, the Grey Knights effectively blocked their teleport beacons from working by establishing a kind of blanket effect. Knowing his allies as well as his enemies, Logan called out for his Wolf Guard, who systematically and simultaneously shot every Justicar in the room dead, this unravelling their psychic net and allowing them to escape.

    All of the Gray Knights have psychic abilities but not all of them are extremely powerful. And there are very few Gray Knights that would be able to match the abilities of Librarian Tigurius for example. They are recruited based on their unbreakable willpower over that of their raw psychic potential.

    "One unbreakable shield against the coming darkness,
    One last blade forged in defiance of fate.
    Let them be my legacy to the galaxy I conquered,
    And my final gift to the species I failed."

    The Grey Knights are specialized very powerful space marines, but as the Space Wolves have proven, they are still Space Marines.
