Answer 1

Grey Knight are not an easy army to play so you will need practice. Tactics? The main one is to use the range of your storm bolters @ 24" to mass fire on your opponent- a ten man squad can pump out 20 shots. Use terrain to limit the angles your opponent can attack back as you will always probably be out numbered.

Grey knights are also very good assaulters with a S 6, two attacks, power weapons, fearless, etc. Of course the hard part is getting up to your opponent. Here are two tried and true options. First- GK terminators in a land raider. The 'raider is a must since it will allow you to assault out and will not scatter with the deep strike, deep striking GK terminators in isn't that great since you are standing around for a turn right after, and you will get shot up. Move the land raider out, pop smoke, move in and assault.

Second option which takes a little more finess. You are playing with allied guard? Take storm troopers and give them a teleport homer, infiltrate them and then bring down your terminators on the homer- at least they won't scatter. Also usefull is to take a grey knight squad with ten knights- justicar, and two being flamer throwers. Infiltrate your strom troopers before the game, move them into position turn two, and then bring down the flame throwers off the teleport homer as close as you can to your opponent and purge away. This tactic is awesome agasint large # armies- orks, IG, etc.
