Having given my Mark IIb Land Raider a black undercoat, it needed a second coat.
This is to be a Grey Knights Land Raider, though I may use it now and again as an Inquisitor transport. Next stage will be the basecoat.

The greatest threat to the Imperium of Man is, and has always been, the followers of Chaos and the foul daemons of the Warp. The Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus, the Daemonhunters, are at war with forces too terrible to comprehend and, together with the holy warriors of the Grey Knights, they must take the light of the Emperor into the darkness. The threat of the daemonic is so great that only these heroic warriors have the necessary skills and knowledge to stand against such diabolical foes.
I am slowly building up my Grey Knights army.
I purchased the new Space Marine Librarian in Terminator armour as I really do like the model and for me will certainly fit into my Grey Knights army with all the books and purity seals. Obviously it is quite expensive for a single model, but then when has Games Workshop ever made “cheap” models.
Nice model and nice that all the weapon options are included. The model comprises three castings, once I had put these together I gave the model a black undercoat.
A very ornate model, will be fun to paint.

As you can see these Imperial Guard tanks have been inducted to support a detachment of Grey Knights.

When the Dark Angels were released I really liked the Master of the Ravenwing on the “last” remaining Imperial Jetbike.
Master Sammael of the Ravenwing is a true Angel of Death. From the saddle of his jetbike he cuts down any foolish enough to stand in his path with the infamous Raven Sword, its blade cut from the same meteorite as the Sword of Secrets. A highly accomplished hunter of The Fallen, Sammael is rightly honoured by his brethren and he is feared by his foes as few other holders of his rank have ever been.
So much so I knew I had to get one for my Grey Knights army, possibly maybe more than one! If anyone other than the Master of the Ravenwing was going to have arcane technology it would be the Grey Knights!
These are the metal parts you get in the box.
Having worked a lot of my Grey Knights Land Speeder, one of the key components is the replacement crew. I could have used the included plastic Space Marine crew, but in the end I used some metal Grey Knights models. I started with a black basecoat and then gave the armour a basecoat of Boltgun Metal. This was followed with the gold metal parts been given a base coat of Brazen Brass.
I then started painting the base coats for the purity seals and other iconology on the Grey Knights.

At GamesDay 2006 there were a fair few demonstration games, in this game, Grey Knights battle Chaos Renegades. Here is a Grey Knights (or possibly an Inquisitorial) Land Raider.

I have undercoated my Mark IIb Land Raider with a black undercoat.
This is to be a Grey Knights Land Raider, though I may use it now and again as an Inquisitor transport. As you can see from this shot though, the undercoat didn’t really cover the front, so I might need to give it another coat.
Next stage will be the basecoat.
