It takes a lot to kill a grey knight, but at the same time not that much. They train Harder, work under greater pressures for the foes they face are truly the most dangerous creatures in existence. Their skill is battle is supreme against non daemonic foes. They are warded heavily against psykic attacks to the point where the warding tattoos will sear through to the marines bones, their physical armour Is similarly warded against daemons and cause then great pain to look upon. They're not invincible, gunfire will take them down like any marine but hand to hand they are deadly beyond measure and their force weapons will do damage to any daemonic enemy, but theirmain strength is in the quality of their defenses. They put the fear into Daemons for their incorruptable qualities, but they are also coveted for that fact. Grandmasters have been known to look Daemon primarchs in the eye and duel them to a standstill. They are a threat to end any daemonic foe if they get the chance. Your grey knight captain will make some daemon princes stutter. Your grey knight terminator is a behemoth of war, a squad of 5 terminators is a match for a greater daemon, (bloodthirster, great unclean one etc)
Your standard brother grey knight is a match for most marine captains and their senior sergeants 2 vs 1. Where that puts them in the strength ranking is hard to quantify, but yes they could take on a Daemon Prince when fully souped up (even then it would be supremely difficult fight and definietly isnt 1 sided), its what they are literally made to do. But if the Knight is fighting the Primaris to the death, fully kitted and with his turbo button on he could crush the Primaris.
So to sum up, if we are talking a bare arm wrestle strength test a Primaris marine could probably win. These weapons are not only ultra rare (even by 40ks standards), very strong but also made to specifically channel the Gks psychic power. Gk are kitted with the very best equipment and every Knight wields Nemsis Force grade weapons. Being the supremely powerful order with connections and deeeeeeeep pockets. Next they are all implanted with the Geneseed from the Emperor, this will give them a strength of mind and will to push their training harder and fight like no other astartes.įinally its also important to remember they are the Inquisitions personal Chapter. Firstly as every single Knight is a psyker they know powers to augment their strength, such as Hammer hand:įocusing the raging power of his mind, the psyker augments the strength of his comrades to the point where they can crush flesh and bone with a single blow.
However theres a few factors that take them further beyond and can help them challenge a Daemon Prince.
