As most people know I played at the Bay Area Open last weekend and I did well early on, but on day #2 I stumbled a bit.
Here was my list:
Coteaz
Draigo
10x Paladins - 4x Psycannons, Brotherhood Banner, Warding Stave, mix of weapons
1x Paladin - Hammer
3x Henchmen - 1x Banisher, 2x Warrior Acolytes
10x Interceptors - 2x Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo
10x Interceptors - 2x Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo

10x Interceptors - 2x Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo
10x Interceptors - 2x Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo
I took this list because it was so fast. I keep saying that mobility is very important in 6th edition and this list let me put my money where my mouth is.
It performed very well and I managed to climb my way up to table #4 on day #2 where I lost to the eventual winner. Even the games that I lost were very close and I had a chance to win each of them. That is the sign that you are close to having a good list when you are not getting blown out, and the games that you lose are close.
Adepticon
So it is time to get ready for Adepticon and I have 39 days to do it.
Here is the list I am thinking about right now
1850 Points of Grey Knights:
Coteaz
Draigo
10x Paladins - 4x Psycannons, Brotherhood Banner
10x Strike Squad - 2x Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo
10x Interceptor Squad - 2x Psycannons, Psybolt Ammo
Draigo

Dreadnaught 2x Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo
Dreadnaught 2x Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo
There you have it. It reminds me a lot of my Nova Open 2011 list.
Here is a list of items that I want, but I am not getting because I do not have the points:
Warding Staff: I really like the 2++ save in assault. This is very good for tanking nasty creatures and thunderhammers.
Psybolt Ammo on the Paladins: Even though it is only 6 models, and less cost efficient than the power armored grey knights, it still comes in handy.
Cheap scoring units: I like the ability to keep scoring units in reserve and then walk on the board to an objective that you have placed behind a piece of LOS blocking terrain. Most of the time when you have combat troops you are wandering around killing and you are often out of position for objective holding, or they can be shot at or engaged and killed.
The problem is, where am I going to get the points to pay for them?
