Grey Knights Attack Bike

At the recent UK GamesDay, a preview of the new all plastic Space Marine Attack Bike was shown.

As you may have seen in previous posts and on my workbench I have been working on a Grey Knights Landspeeder.

I do realise that it is not in the Codex and there is not a lot of fluff to support such a model, however I do think it will look cool. I am using the Land Speeder which came with the original boxed set, purity symbols from ForgeWorld and a book and skull from the Inquisitor range.

Under the same misconception I think that the new plastic Attack Bike will make a fine starting point for a Grey Knights version.

Also at Gamesday was a completed Forgeworld pre-Heresy Land Raider, built and painted by Will Hayes.

It is my intention to get one of these for my Grey Knights (and this is in the Codex and the fluff).

Valentines Day

Don’t know what you got, but I got reinforcements…

Generally on Valentines Day you get flowers, chocolates, and other romantic stuff!

I got a boxed set of Grey Knights! Okay so not very romantic, but what a present!

There are five Grey Knights in the boxed set, including one Justicar and one Knight with incinerator.

Two of these may well end up as the crew of my Grey Knights Landspeeder.

Grey Knights Land Speeder – the story continues…

More of the model painted… Managed to get in some painting time (the majority was spent on a secret project) however I did manage to get some more of my Grey Knights Land Speeder painted.

You can see I have painted more of the bodywork (in Boltgun Metal) and painted the Imperial Eagle in Burnished Gold with highlights. The Inquisitor Book has also had the edges painted in Burnished Gold.

The underneath has been drybrushed with Boltgun Metal and I may do some weathering on the engines later.

Though the crew legs still need painting, I have painted the instrument panel.

This final shot shows how the model is coming together… still need to paint the crew!
