I don't have any specific advice as I don't know the daemonhunters codex at all (that's the one, right?), but I have read that a lot of people feel that grey knights on their own are weak because they are so expensive. Have you thought about throwing in some IG cannon-fodder?

yep thats the codex but i was trying to keep it a pure grey knights army

and another thing

how many armys have really good invulnerable saves and really bad armour saves because the waste of points on psycannons/bolts might be able to free up some points

I dunno about any of that but I would drown that army in green and see if it floats!!! lol j/k. I think Grey Knights are pretty cool but it's gotta be tough having so few models on the board. I think the number one offender on having poor armour save and decent invulnerable save is Daemons, which is a fitting thing for you to have special ammo against I guess. My orks have pretty piss poor armour and piss poor invulnerable saves to go with it for the most part. Space marines have both, especially if they bring the Legion of the Damned (that would make a pretty cool game with daemonhunters, the inquisition has mixed up it's priorities again!)

Decided that it was a poor amount of troops so i changed the fluff a bit. there now grey knights that have the help of an "inducted" inquisitor and inquisitorial storm troopers. im still hoping that it will be pretty good to play with as well. heres the new list

grand master 145
Ungeants of warding 10
155

9 grey knights 225
1 justicar 50
psycannon 25
300

9 inquisitorial storm troopers 90
veteran with storm bolter 20
rhino 50
160

inquisitor 20
artificer armour 15
power weapon 15
storm bolter 10
retinue(see below) 95
Holocaust 20
scourging 20
195

dreadnaught 80
rockit launcher upgrade 10
twin linked lascannon 50
140

Lance strike 70
70

total 1020

RETINUE
1 familiar
2 acolytes with carapace armour, and stormbolters 46
gun servitor with heavy bolter 25
sage 10
mystic 8

i just realised this list is 20 points over so im thinking of dropping the strike and upgrading some more of my units
