A Squad of Grey Knights

A Grey Knights Squad consists of between 4 and 9 Grey Knights Marines and 1 Justicar armed with a Storm Bolter and Nemesis Force Weapon. Up to two may exchange their weapons for a Psycannon or an Incinerator.1

Grey Knights squads are the first place new initiates arrive after they have completed their training and augmentation programme. As the chapter rarely fights together and most of the time only a single squad of Grey Knights is present anywhere, the orders of the Justicar must be followed to the letter as if he were the commander of the chapter, even if the rest of the chapter is far away. In larger, combined operations Grey Knights squads are usually used to secure an area to enable their Commander and Terminators to arrive, enabling them to reach the objective more efficiently while the basic Grey Knights hold off their foes.1

Some Grey Knights make use of teleporters which allow them to appear on the battlefield at any point. These become known as Teleport Attack Squads but are armed in the same was as the above Grey Knights Squad.1
