Have you guys noticed in your recent games that deamons actually are one of the BEST armies to fight grey knights.

This is based on a Take all comers GK list vs a Tourney level Deamons list.

All of GKs strengths are nullified with Deamons.

Force weapons - all Deamons have eternal warrior
Power weapons - All Deamons have Inv save
Elite army - You can spam alot of attacks and shooting for torrent of fire failed saves.
Low Saves - Deamons have ALOT of power weapons

Now don't get me wrong if you tool up an army specifically to kill deamons...they will stand no chance.

I was very surprised about this. I just recently picked up a deamon army that i was going to field as only a Fantasy Army with the prevalence of Gks in my area, but i think i will be making most of it changeable to 40k bases so I can play either game.

Demons were the first army that my group playtested against. They slaughtered the GK's to a man in, like, 3 turns.
We learned a couple things.

1) No "template formation" as we call it (any formation that allows a lot of models under a flamer template).
2) ALWAYS take servo skulls. Demons deepstriking with the pinpoint accuracy that one member of my group is ALWAYS pulling off will cause MUCH damage to GK's and ruin your day.

It's been a while. That's all I can think of off hand.

But, you have to remember that Grey Knights have two very powerful special rules.

1: Daemonbane: Negates the Eternal Warrior if the Daemon fails a LD test.

2: Prefered Enemy against Daemons.

Now you also have to account for the Psyk-out grenades bringing all Daemons down to Int. 1 when assaulted by Grey Knights.

Having witnessed one game of Grey Knights vs. Daemons, it came out poorly for the Daemons player. The Grey Knight player was able to move units to deal with the various threats. A good Grey Knight player gives himself the mobility to move and assault against any army.
