i agree that the grey knights are actually an awesome chapter and are capable of feats most astartes aren't, but the abilities of draigo, as mentioned, make their chapter somewhat contemptible as he basically takes the piss in regards to 40k lore.

@zixis, i know that the smallest gellar-field generators can only be fitted on starships, that was kinda my point when i said draigo didn't have one - i was being sarcastic. and as for his psychic abilities protecting him in the realm of chaos (grey knights codex says he is in the realm of chaos), i don't disagree that he's powerful enough to survive the realm for short peroids of time but he's been continuously in the realm of chaos without any rest or surcease, and even primarchs need rest now and then. as for daemons betraying their god, quite simply they can't: every daemon of khorne is khorne, every daemon of nurgle is nurgle etc, and the only reason any daemon has individuality, the only reason any daemon even exists, is because its god allows it, and if a daemon genuinely betrayed its god it's because its god allowed it to, after which it would probably be reabsorbed by its god.

there is also the fact that the realm of chaos is called the immaterium for a reason: the realm itself is incorporeal, roiling energy, yet draigo's corporeal being is strolling through this landless realm seemingly without much trouble. the only way i see this 'up yours' to 40k's lore making rational sense is if the gods are indeed allowing him to survive as a means of eventually corrupting him - thinking of it like this makes complete sense (to me at least): no grey knight has ever been corrupted so obviously the gods would very much love to corrupt the most powerful grey knight ever, and if the gods are helping to keep him alive then he will be corrupted. in this case i have no problem with him being wholly and continuously within warpspace.... all hail supreme chaos-lord draigo :P
