Here is a guest post from TPM about a big post Feast of Blades Grey Knight Meta game debate.
You may recognize this build, as I touched on a early version of the list a little while ago.
It’s definitely a good list, and worth reading up on.
You can check out TPM’s blog here.
From TPM:
After a flury of text messages back and forth between MBG and Goatboy and after a few back and forths over on the Wrecking Crew forums I believe this list is as good as it is going to be.
This list dominates any Necron build I have seen so far and will be easy to make up to compete in the meta in your area.
