Grey knights / Army parade Display board /exorsists.

Hello all,
I thought I should show some signs of life. I have been realy busy building a temple for my Lizardmen for armies parade.
First though my weekend experiment: A while ago I bought 10 grey knight termies, a dreadknight and a LR second hand.
I wanted to try this crome paint I got at a miniature convention.
So this past weekend i got busy.

Exorsists

I  played a game vs gray knights and a second look through the units again and please allow me to re-emphasize on the obvious: OMG HOW good are the plain marine grey knights?! 20p for a scoring unit with a nemesis power weapon and a storm bolter? dont forget the -1 to psyc. powers against them, a psyc power(I think) and prefered enemy: deamons, now compare that to the 18p marine.

Now  I have not fully looked at all the variation of the grey knight marine. But what i see is really underpriced comparing to vanila marines. I am seriously considering to make a 1750 exorsist force based upon the grey knight, there is alot of talk about the exorsists been a chapter coming from the grey knights. I think some inquisition units would fit nicely with them. It will be challenging to get the runes onto the armor, I am thinkin of custom transfer sheets.
So maybe after I finish my board, then deamons (only need to do 8 bloodletters and 4 bloodcrushers) and the grey knights I might do an exorsist force.

What do you think, anyone out there got a good list for 1750? no terminators or dredknighs, only marines, inquisitor stuff yes, LR yes up to 2.
