My GK 1500 point list

I got the opportunity to try out my Ultra-Honor-Grey-Guard-Knights last Saturday.  I played a game versus Shrike Marines and another one versus Space Wolves.  I was able to pull off wins in both games, but I'm still not confident in the list as it has some weaknesses.

Here's was my list.

Xenos Inquisitor w/ Conversion Beamer, Psychic Mastery 1 (Psychic communion), 3x Servo Sculls
Xenos Inquisitor w/ Conversion Beamer, Psychic Mastery 1 (Psychic communion), 3x Servo Sculls
Henchmen w/ 4x Crusaders, 1 Mystic
Henchmen w/ 4x Crusaders, 1 Mystic
Vindicare Assassin
5 man Strike Squad w/ hammer, psycannon
5 man Strike Squad w/ hammer, psycannon
5 man Strike Squad w/ halberd, psycannon
5 man Strike Squad w/ halberd, psycannon
5 man Strike Squad w/ halberd, psycannon
5 man Strike Squad w/ halberd, psycannon
Dread Calgar w/ heavy incinerator
Dreadnought w/ 2x twin linked auto-cannons, psybolt

Yep, a deep striking foot GK list.   Pretty simple setup.  The two inquisitors deploy with the henchmen and hide for a turn.  On turn two they cast Psychic Communion and deep strike all the Grey Knights on a 2+.   The Vindicare and the  Dreadnought are not final elements of the list.  As soon as I get a second Dread Knight I'm going to swap it for the dreadnought.  I'm still undecided about the Vindicare.  There aren't very many targets in this list on turn 1; making him very vulnerable. He does provide the best anti-Land Raider ranged firepower in the list though.  I'll either swap him for a Calidus  (since communion adds or subtracts per die roll, I can hold her in reserve longer than the rest of the army) or a third Dread Knight.

I'm think I'm going to cut the conversion beamers from the army.  I need the inquisitors to survive until turn two, and giving them firing lanes where they can see and be seen is counterproductive to that purpose.  It's also 45 points for a ST 8 template 90% of the time.  I think a combi-melta would be more useful.

Dread Calgar Walks!

I couldn't get Calgar's torso bit to fit even after cutting off his cape.   The arms fit rather nicely once some of the bolter feeds where dremeled off..
