Grey Knights Razorback

If you have looked at my Grey Knights Landspeeder you will realise that I am attempting to paint a Grey Knights force which goes beyond the listings in the DaemonHunters Codex. What I am trying to do is to create a Grey Knights force (using the Space Marine Codex) and then using a DaemonHunters force as allies.

Having constructed my Razorback and added Grey Knights iconography I gave the model a black undercoat.

The next stage will be adding the basecoat.

Dark Angelish Grey Knights

For my (very slow) grey Knights army I am using a variety of Space Marine models for the core troops. These include Space Marine Veterans and Dark Angels.

Having got a Dark Angels box set, I made them up and gave the models a black undercoat.

So they are not like the metal Grey Knights, but Grey Knights use a variety of old equipment, now and again I suspect they may use slightly newer kit hence being able to use the Dark Angels sprues.

Finished my Grey Knights (eventually)

After quite a long time I have finally finished the first of my Grey Knights.

These were started a few years ago and I never really got around  to spending huge amounts of time on them, as other projects always seemed to take over.

I am quite pleased with them and I am using them as the basis for my other Grey Knights.

I am using desert basing to fit in with my desert terrain.

You can see how I painted these Grey Knights in the full workbench feature on them.

Got some new toys…

Well with Christmas now over and the dust settling I can now take a look at my booty.

Simon very nice of him got me a couple of Grey Knight Terminators which will go nicely with my Librarian.

As well as those two, from the in-laws I got some Tallarn Imperial Guard (to use as I have already done as Inquisitorial Storm Troopers) and Space Marine Veterans (which will be used as the blister pack I got as Grey Knights).

My wife (thank you) got me the Masters of the Chapter boxed set, alas (or luckily) she actually got me two boxes… accidently. So one of those will be going back to be swapped, probably for some of the new Ork models.

No Forge World models, as their shipping delays put people off.

In all a very nice haul.

Librarian in Terminator Armour

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 (and doing even less painting).

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 at £8 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.

The fit of the pieces is okay, but a couple of times as I was sticking another piece on the other arm fell off. It also took a fair bit to get the model onto the 40mm base.

A very ornate model, will be fun to paint.

Mark IIb Land Raider Sponsons

I have added the lascannon sponsons to my Daemonhunters Mark IIb Land Raider.

Land Raider

They fit over the gaps where the doors and lascannon assemblies go on the “traditional” plastic “modern” Land Raider.

I have used Inquisitor Rhino doors on the sponsons, the normal Land Raider doors don’t fit they are slightly bigger.

I much prefer this model over the “modern” Land Raider and if I get a second Land Raider then it will be another Mark IIb.

This then begs the question what do I do with Grey Knights Land Raider doors I have?

Grey Knights Razorback Update

If you have looked at my Grey Knights pages you will realise that I am attempting to paint a Grey Knights force which goes beyond the listings in the DaemonHunters Codex. What I am trying to do is to create a Grey Knights force (using the Space Marine Codex) and then using a DaemonHunters force as allies.

This was the last blog update on the Razorback, so since then this is what I have done.

The basic Rhino kit comes with two different doors, one relatively blank and the other with steps (or ladder) on. I decided to use a spare blank door from my Repressor and use two blank doors. I added a brass Grey Knights symbol from the Forgeworld Grey Knights brass etching and a resin purity seal. When I was editing the pictures for the web, I noticed that I had inadvertently glued one of the symbols upside down! I therefore had to remove it from the door, turn it round and stick it down. It did not come off too easily, but I am glad I spotted it now rather than when I was painting (or worse when I had finished) the model.

I added a resin frontal armour plate from the Forge World Inquisitor Rhino Doors (having used the other resin side doors on my Repressor.

Grey Knights Razorback

I added a few more purity seals. You can see that I also added the doors with the brass etchings on them.

You can see on this shot the upside down brass symbol.

I think it needs more symbols, seals and icons.
