Armoured Vehicles of the Grey Knights

In Warhammer World was a lovely Grey Knights army with a range of armoured vehicles. I have been working on a Grey Knights army for some time now. It includes some armoured vehicles including a Land Raider.

In the displays was this Grey Knights Land Raider.

Grey Knights Land Raider

The Land Raider Phobos is the standard main battle tank for the Space Marines, so it is no surprise that the Grey Knights make use of the armoured fist of the Space Marines. 

This one had the iconography of the Grey Knights, these were resin doors from Forge World, which sadly are no longer available.

This is a Grey Knights Land Raider Crusader.  Designed for anti-infantry assault fighting. In place of Lascannons, the Crusader is armed with Hurricane Bolters. Alongside is a front mounted hull Assault Cannon.

As it doesn’t have lascannons, it has extra troop carrying capacity as there is no requirement for las-power generators for the said lascannons.

A variant of the Land Raider is the Land Raider Redeemer, which in itself is a variant of the Land Raider Crusader. These versions of the Land Raider provide short-range assault support during anti-infantry attacks or for urban street fighting.

The Land Raider Redeemer replaces the Land Raider Crusader’s weapons with the dreaded sponson-mounted Flamestorm Cannons. These massive flame-based weapons send burning sheets of promethium into the enemy, and can be really effective against hardened bunkers. A highly effective vehicle for fighting dug-in infantry in urban areas.

I have been painting up two Grey Knights Land Raiders, one a standard Phobos variant, the other a Mark IIb with sponsons. Though I am now in the process of painting them as Imperial Fists models, but they still have the Grey Knights iconography.

Not quite a dreadnought, but similar this Grey Knights Nemesis Dreadknight was on display at Warhammer World.

Essentially this allows a Grey Knight to be stronger and carry heavier weapons.

It was developed and designed to take on the might of Greater Daemons and Daemon Princes.

There was this Grey Knights Razorback.

The Razorback is a tracked, armoured vehicle used by Space Marine Chapters. Its design is based on the Rhino chassis and as such is quite easy to manufacture, sharing many of its design features.

It is sometimes favoured over the Rhino because of its superior firepower, although this comes at the cost of less transport space.

I have Forge World version on my workbench.

There was also a Grey Knights Stormraven Gunship is an armoured versatile craft that combines the role of dropship, armoured transport and strike craft.

Some great looking models.

 

Land Raider Crusader

This Blood Angels Land Raider Crusader was on display at Warhammer World.

The Land Raider Crusader is a variant of the standard Land Raider Phobos used by the Space Marines and the Inquisition. The Land Raider Crusader is rearmed to provide short-ranged, anti-infantry assault support for Astartes offensives. The Land Raider Crusader is intended to be an assault-based variant of the Land Raider that is a linebreaker without peer. The Crusader can smash through enemy formations, shrugging off small arms fire in order to disgorge a squad of Space Marines into the heart of the foe. In place of Lascannons, the Crusader is armed with Hurricane Bolters that cut down the first line of defenders before an assault is launched. A hull-mounted twin Assault Cannon adds to its formidable anti-infantry firepower, its Frag Assault Launchers suppressing the foe while the tank closes in. The Crusader also boasts an improved transport capacity by reclaiming the space normally given over to the Land Raider Phobos’ bulky las-power generators.
