Sorry no hobbying this time! Two more Chimeras and a box of Forgeworld are sitting in my Forge, but before i touch them, i want to get this Grey Knight list sorted!

Like all of my army lists I'm trying to make it able to Take-On-All-Comers. With the high points cost of things in this codex, its quite difficult! There are a few things that I'm AM sure about in this list:
- Crowe
- Both Purifier Squads
- And I'm pretty sure about the Purgation Squad
Crowe and the Purifiers are monsters in combat, and for me are a 'must have', the Rhinos giving them much needed mobility and flexibility. The Purgation Squad with its Astral Aim power will make it a valuable fire support unit. So the things I'm not sure about are:
- The Terminator Squads
- The Dreads
I'm not really sure what I'm trying to do with the Termies. I'm kindda taking them 'cos i want some in the army, but i can't really find a role for them. I thought Fire Support, but there are cheaper alternatives for this role. I gave the Purgation Squad a Teleport homer to help get the Termies where i want them.
The Dreads. Practically they're perfect. Theres no anti-tank in this army, so TL Lascannons and TL Missile Launchers fit the bill nicely, sitting back in the table corners and targeting the armour. Its just that they don't feel right!! Ridiculous i know, but i tend to follow my gut instinct in all things, and I'm not about to change now!
Theres only really 2 stipulations i have with this list:
- NO STORMRAVENS! - I hate the dam model, and I'm not spending £41 on a model i don't like!
- No Dreadknights if possible - I'll take or leave Dreadknights, but do acknowledge their valuable firepower and combat skills, so wouldn't rule them out completely.
So what do you think guys?? I'm really stuck on this one, so would really appreciate your help!
