I like it but how about this, instead of fielding the Ordo Ma=
lleus as a separate detachment have the Grey Knights more as a special abil=
ity, much in the same way that the Aspects warriors have Exarch's.

My only=
 problem with having Grey Knights as a separate detachment is that I often =
felt from the old system that they were few in number and highly specialise=
d, rather than as a massed fighting force. I think the Grey Knights x2 CAF =
ability against Daemons is a great idea (tho' I would have to see how it ba=
lanced out in a game and wasn't too powerful <g>)?but could more see the Gr=
ey Knights mixed in with ordinary marines/terminators like the Exarch's, so=
 instead you upgrade a marine tactical or terminator unit to have 'a Grey K=
night present'. This way you can just add the cost to another detachment pu=
rely as an upgrade and make some cool mixed bases of say 4 marines in your =
standard chapter colours plus 1 Grey Knight.

This is the way that I base =
Exarchs (mixed with other Aspect warriors) and reckon it would be an intere=
sting way to use both the Ordo Malleus/Knights.

Just my opinion?but your d=
etachment looks pretty cool other than that.

I can see arguments both ways=
. Having them as an upgrade is good, but I can see them as an independet fi=
ghting force. Actaully I think as an independent teleported force they are =
more balanced, also you could have them teleport in this way, alternativly,=
 if a detachment was all grey knight infantry, they could teleport in. Also=
 the upgrade just feels a bit wrong, how are they fielded now? I thought th=
ey were an independet force in the Imperial agents codex.
