I'm with you Saye, but seriously, they did not need to revamp Grey Knights, they were already cheaper than space marines. How about rebuilding one of the other codexes? I believe Necrons and Tau need a new book.

The thing is, pretty soon people are going to STOP wanting new books for their armies because that means a price hike...

Almost. I can see what you mean, but the Walkers from avatar had an enclosed crew compartment, and instead of the legs of the occupant being nearly welded to the machine legs, they jsut went in the bottom of the crew compartment.
Also, it took less to kill one of the avatar walkers.
THe dreadknight basic profile:
WS5 BS4 S6 T6 W4 I4 A3 LD10 SV2+5+
Then on top of all that, all the bonuses that apploy to the Grey Knight army as a collective, plus two psychic powers, and a variety of weapons to choose from.

Overpwoered much?

Oh yea, and it can deep strike.

In the Games Workshop development department...
"Hmm, ok guys, it appears the new Space Marine codex is doing really well, but I get the feeling the gamers are trying to tell us something. Anyone got ideas?"
"Maybe we should check up on some of the other books?"
"Other books?"
"Well, y'know, Tau-"
"Who the hell is that?"
"One of the alien races sir. Perhaps we should renew them, so they get a bit of popularity, I mean, the Imperium is cool and stuff, but shouldn't gamers be able to play and win with races other than humans?"
"Clive."
"Yes?"
"You're fired."
