Editing Grey Knights (section)

==Overview==
The Grey Knights is a Chapter whose primary task is to hunt down and destroy Daemons whenever and wherever they manifest in the [[Imperium of Man]]. While your average Chapter will have, at best, a score of battle-brothers who are trained in [[Librarian|safely using the powers of the Immaterium]], each and every single battle-brother in the Grey Knights is a [[psyker]]. Though the psychic proficiency of each Grey Knight varies, each brother has been trained rigorously to turn their powers towards the destruction of daemons, whether by channeling it through their various Nemesis Force weaponry, or more overt displays such as roaring flames and searing lightning.

Another thing that sets apart the Grey Knights from all other Chapter in the Imperium is the fact that not a single member of the Chapter has fallen to the whispers of Chaos. Whether it is through their basic make-up -- one enduring rumor among the members of the [[Inquisition]] is that their geneseed comes from the Emperor Himself (probably untrue since he doesn't have any) -- or through their ridiculously arduous training process, not even the Grey Knights would say. What is certain though, is that the average Grey Knight is ''so'' pure that they are anathema to daemons, with the weaker of the latter [[Awesome|crumbling into dust]] in their presence.

Guided by their Prognosticators and astride their fast Strike Cruisers (whose speed would make other Chapters seethe in envy), The Grey Knights take the fight directly to whichever battlefield or world the touch of daemonkind befouls. This is often a grim and very VERY thankless task, and the average Imperial citizen will never know how they often owe their lives to the battles the Grey Knights fight. The best that a Grey Knight can expect before he is laid to rest in the Dead Fields of Titan is that his deeds will be remembered by the brothers he leaves behind. As to ''why'' no one can know, well, [[Grimdark|see the following section]].

The final factor differentiating the Knights from other loyalist forces is that they're allowed to ''kill other loyalists'' with no repercussions, as they are part of the Inquisition. And boy do they have no problem with it either. They have [[What|ritually murdered]] [[Sisters of Battle]] (<strike> for their gamer girl bathwater </strike> admittedly to create wards to repel daemons, and this was retconned in 7th edition anyway), killed a bunch of [[Space Wolves|first founding marines]] and completely obliterated at least one [[Flame Falcons|newer]] loyalist chapter, as well as routinely murder citizens and members of the [[Imperial Guard]] literally for being nearby. The Daemon Prince Primarchs have nothing on these guys. But they do this because in their eyes and probably in reality anyone exposed to the horrors of daemons is vulnerable to their taint, so they grimdark entire continents and fleets just to stop the possibility of taint remaining. They also scour the minds of Adeptus Astartes who fight alongside them to spare their own minds the horror and risk of corruption - which is why the Space Wolves and Grey Knights had it out because obviously the Space Wolves were having none of that (they also weren't cool with them purging Armageddon's entire population just for fighting against Angron and '''winning'''). Weirdly enough the fight against the Space Wolves actually went quite poorly for them overall, despite how ridiculously good they're supposed to be. Though to be completely fair to them, that entire kerfuffle was almost entirely the fault of the Inquisition, and the Grey Knights actually call that conflict "The Months of Shame". Whether this is due to them knowingly fighting other loyal Space Marines or getting ass-blasted by said Marines is uncertain. They seemingly don't get along too well with the Dark Angels either, but then again who does?

This teamkilling tendency also makes the idea that the [[Minotaurs]] may or may not have destroyed an entire strike cruiser full of Grey Knights for getting between them and their target a tasty bit of irony!
