11th edition replaces 'pick one detachment' with a Detachment Points budget: you get 2 DP at 1,000 points and 3 DP at 2,000 points, and you spend that budget across one to three detachments. Detachments are priced by power — narrow, conditional ones cost 1 DP, standard codex detachments cost 2 DP, and army-wide powerhouses cost 3 DP. For Grey Knights that means their strongest codex option, Warpbane Task Force, eats your entire 3 DP budget on its own, the other codex detachments land at 2 DP, and the three new Faction Pack detachments come in at just 1 DP each. The interesting builds live in the maths: at 2,000 points you can go all-in on one 3 DP detachment, run a 2 DP codex plus a 1 DP specialist, or stack a couple of cheap 1 DP detachments. With so few models on the table, every DP choice really tells.
A 1 DP Faction Pack detachment that finally makes Paladins the melee monsters they should be.
A 1 DP shooting detachment that turns Purgation Squads' special weapons into a wall of fire.
A 1 DP mobility detachment that finally gives Interceptors a real job.
The 3 DP flagship — the competitive yardstick every other Grey Knights list is measured against.
