Abilities
With a few notable exceptions, all GREY KNIGHTS units are drawn from a brotherhood. When you incoude such a unit in your army, you must nominate which brotherhood it is from and then replace the <BROTHERHOOD> keyword in every instance with the name of your chosen brotherhood. If your army is Battle-forged, you cannot include units from two different brotherhoods in the same Detachment.
Knights of Titan: This unit has the following abilities: And They Shall Know No Fear; Bolter Discipline; Masters of the Warp.
And They Shall Know No Fear: Each time a Combat Attrition test is taken for this unit, ignore any or all modifiers.
Bolter Discipline: Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, models in this unit firing Rapid Fire bolt weapons make double the number of attacks if any of the following apply: The firing model’s target is within half the weapon’s maximum range. The firing model is INFANTRY (excluding Centurion models) and every model in its unit remained stationary in your previous Movement phase. The firing model is a TERMINATOR or BIKER. For the purposes of this ability, a Rapid Fire bolt weapon is any bolt weapon with the Rapid Fire type. A bolt weapon is any weapon whose profile includes the word ‘bolt’ (boltgun, bolt rifle, storm bolter, combi-bolter, hurricane bolter, etc.). Rules that apply to bolt weapons also apply to the boltgun profile of combi-weapons and and Relics that replace bolt weapons.
Masters of the Warp
If every unit from your army has the GREY KNIGHTS keyword and PSYKER with this ability gain a bonus depending on which TIde of the Warp is dominant for your army. At the start of the first battle round, choose which of the Tides is currently dominant. The dominant Tide can subsequently be changed using the Warp Shaping psychic power.
Tide of Convergence: Add 6″ to the range characteristic of psi weapons that model in this unit are equipped with. Each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack with a Nemesis weapon, on a unmodified wound of 6. that target suffers 1 mortal wound in additional to any normal damage.
Tide of Celerity: Each time an Advance roll is made for this unit, treat a dice roll of 1-2 as 3 instead. Each time a charge roll is made for this unit, treat each dice roll of 1-2 as 3 instead.
Tide of Shadows: Each time a ranged attack is made by an enemy model more than 12″ away from this unit targets this, models in this unit are treated as receiving the benefits of Light Cover. If every model in this unit was already receiving Light Cover, models in this unit are also treated as receiving the benefits of Dense Cover.
Tide of Escalation: In your Psychic phase, if your army includes any Brotherhood of Psykers Detachments, each time this unit is selected to manifest psychic powers, it can attempt to manifest its brotherhood psychic power, even if that power has already been attempted to be manifested by another unit in that phase. Each time such a unit attempts to manifest such a power, add 1 to that power’s warp charge value for each other attempt that has been made to manifest it by a unit from your army that phase, whether the attempt was successful or not.
Tide of Banishment: This unit gains the following ability: Banishment: While an enemy DAEMON unit is within 6″ of this unit, subtract 2 from the Leadership of models in that enemy unit. Each time a model in this unit makes an attack against a DAEMON unit, re-roll a hit roll of 1 and re-roll a wound roll of 1.
Wisdom of the Prognosticars
If your army is Battle-forged and includes any GREY KNIGHTS Detachments, then when you are mustering your army, you can upgrade any of the GREY KNIGHTS CHARACTER models in your army by giving them either a Vision of the Augurium or a Gift of the Prescient. Named characters cannot be given any of these upgrades. Each CHARACTER model cannot have more than one of these upgrades, and an army cannot include the same upgrade more than once. CHARACTER models can be equipped with both a Relic one of these upgrades.
Visions of the Augurium
Augury of Aggression: Once per battle, when a friendly Grey Knights Core or Grey Knights Character unit within 12″ of this model is selected to fire Overwatch, this model can experience this vision. If it does, then until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an Overwatch attack, a hit is scored on an unmodified 4+
Heroism’s Favour: Once per battle, at the end of your opponents Charge phase, you can select one friendly Grey Knights Core unit within 12″ of this model. That unit can perform a Heroic Intervention as if it were a character.
A Noble Death: Once per battle, in your Command phase, this model can experience this vision. If it does until the start of your next Command phase, it gains the following ability: ‘A Noble Death (Aura): While a friendly Grey Knights Core of Grey Knights Character unit is within 6″ of this model, it gains the Objective Secured ability and can Set to Defend. If a model in that unit already has the Objective Secured ability, that model counts as one additional model when determining control of an objective marker.’
Omen of Incursion: Once per battle, at the end of the Reinforcement step of your opponents Movement phase, this model can experience this vision. If it does, select one Grey Knights Core or Grey Knight Character unit from your army that is not within Engagement Range of an enemy units. That unit can shoot as if it were the Shooting phase, but it’s models can only target a single eligible unit that was set up as Reinforcements this turn and that is within 12″ of their unit when doing so.
Presage Paralysis: Once per battle, at the start of your Charge phase, if this model is on the battlefield, you can select one enemy unit on the battlefield, until the end of the phase that unit can not fire Overwatch.
Foretelling of Lucus: After both player have deployed their armies, select up to three Grey Knights Core units from your army and redeploy them. If the mission uses Strategic Reserves rules, any of those units can be placed in Strategic Reserves without having to spend any additional CPs, regardless of how many units are already in Strategic Reserves. If both players have abilities that redeploy units, roll off; the winner chooses who redeploys their units first.
Gifts of the Prescient
True Name Shard: Once per battle, at the start of the Fight phase, you can select one enemy Daemon unit within 6″ of the bearer. That unit is not eligible to fight this phase until after all the eligible units from your army have done so.

Oncer per battle, when the bearer shoots with that weapon, you can choose for it to fire a Deluminator of Majesty bolt. If you do, you can make only one attack with that weapon, but if it scores a hit against a Daemon unit, until the start of your next Shooting phase, that unit loses any aura abilities it has, in addition to any normal damage.
Gem of Inoku: Once per battle, when the bearer is selected to manifest psychic powers, you can use this gift. If you do, then until the end of the phase, each time the bearer attempts to manifest a psychic power from the Dominus discipline, add 2 to that attempt’s Psychic test.
