Grey Knight Review: Part 7 - Heavy Support

There are 6 choices for Heavy Support in Codex: Grey Knights.

The Land Raider, Land Raider Redeemer, and Land Raider Crusader - These are the same as Codex: Space Marines although they have a minor price increase for "Fortitude" and can take Grey Knight upgrades.

Purgation Squad - The "Devastators" of Codex: Grey Knights. They are able to take 4 special weapons at minimum size. They have a psychic power called "Astral Aim" where they are able to fire at units out of LoS, but doing so provides their target with a 4+ cover save. They have access to all other Grey Knight options.

Dreadnought - A small bump in cost due to "Fortitude", but retains all the options of a Dreadnought from Codex: Space Marines. Even better, they also have access to Grey Knight wargear, allowing you to make your Twin-Linked Autocannons S8.

Dreadknight - Ah, the Baby-Bjorn of the codex. The only Monstrous Creature in a Space Marine codex (Not counting Mephiston). Pretty akin to a Daemon Prince in stats. It can get a range of crappy weapons; only the Heavy Incinerator might be worth it. Can take a personal Teleporter, which functions just like it does for Intercepter squads. Has "Hammerhand" and "Dark Excommunication" psychic powers.
