I don't have my DH book w/ me on business trips, so I could be getting the ally rule wrong, but I think it's legit to just take a couple GK squads as troop allies. Always freakin' loved how they look.
In any event ...
Company Command Squad - Straken, 4 Melta, Officer of the Fleet - 215
10 Power Armored Grey Knights w/ Incinerator - 285
10 Power Armored Grey Knights w/ Incinerator - 285
10 Veterans w/ Power Sword, 3 Meltaguns, Chimera w/ ML/HF - 165
10 Veterans w/ Power Sword, 3 Meltaguns, Chimera w/ ML/HF - 165
10 Veterans w/ Power Sword, 3 Meltaguns, Chimera w/ ML/HF - 165
Vendetta - 130
Vendetta - 130
Vendetta - 130
Demolisher - 165
Demolisher - 165
2,000 points
14 killpoints
5 scoring units
The rather obvious play for the grey knights and straken is to use straken's valkyrie to project a valkyrie-sized 12" furious assault bubble. S7I6 Grey Knights just sound fun on the charge :)
The rest is pretty deliberate. The Vendettas rake flank armor after disgorging their lovely packages, the chimeras race up smoke and then move up and start firing hatch melta, heavy flamers, etc., with each guard squad capable of using straken to fire 3 melta+12shotgun+pistol at bs4 followed by 4 S4 I4 power weapons + 18 S4 I4 regulars per squad, which is pretty brutal.
Demolishers are cool, fit in the points, and I have them. Should be able to take cover behind the smoked Chims while firing their demolisher cannon to useful effect over their heads.
Side note ... probably getting 3 chimeras for the bunker doubles tourney w/ Rhett one way or another, and so the above only requires me to purchase 20 grey knights. Not too crazy with the suggestions, if you please ... trying to keep my hobby expenditures on the lower side until the puppies come out, so I can do the space wolves cowboys theme army.
