Unit Review: Grey Knight Purifiers

Grey Knight Purifiers

The Order of Purifiers of the Grey Knights operate and act very differently from the rest of their battle-brethren. Characterized by their strict nature and traditions, they are charged with protecting the Chambers of Purity deep within the Chapter's monastery on Titan. These vaults in Mount Anarch can only be accessed by Grand Masters which makes the Order of Purifiers the last line of defense in the event Titan ever came under attack.

Assembling Purifiers for Warhammer 40,000
As is my first complaint about any of Games Workshop's kits -- especially those dealing with elite factions like Marines -- there tends to be a ton of extra bits that'll most likely be collecting dust. GW molds are great and there is some amazing detail in them, but I have no idea what they expect you to do with all the extra crap to cut out from those sprues. That aside, the new Codex for Grey Knights now ensures that you won't always be seeing psycannons in Purifier squads anymore.

Thoughts on Purifiers in Warhammer 40,000
They are certainly not as valuable as they used to be. Now that there's no option of taking Purifiers as troops anymore, it's likely you won't be seeing them as much. Psycannons are still terrifying, but now that their range has been reduced by half its likely you'll be seeing more incinerators and and psilencers. However, if you want more mobile and resilient troops it'd probably be more advantageous to look at Interceptors or Terminators (considering Terminators are much more cost-worthy than they used to be).
