Grey Knights

INTRODUCTION
_______________

This is the army that brought me back to the hobby gaming world and is the first playable collection of units I have owned. I had been drawn to their visual style since I first laid eyes on them in a GW catalogue many years ago and browsing some of the newer models (especially the terminators) sealed the deal. Plus, I always liked the idea of an "elite" army of fewer models.

When I picked the Grey Knights as my starting army I was unaware of their "cheap" status at the time, but since getting more into the hobby and keeping up with things, I am happy to know that the changes brought about by 6th Edition have tempered them slightly while still keeping them competitive. Additionally, my list is based on models/units that I find interesting rather than ultra-competitive.

I hope to finish assembling and painting my current collection by year's end (2013) but that is a pretty big stretch considering my painting speed and all the other projects that I keep adding to my pile. (Update: the above goal will not be possible, as it is almost November and I have only 5 models completed. sad face.)


2015 Update
_______________




So, we now in 2015 and I am hardly any further than I was when I wrote the above, somewhere in 2013. That said, I am working hard on finishing my current models and will consider adding to my army in 2015 if I am extremely productive in the painting side of things. Unlikely, but perhaps early 2016.

The list below is obsolete with the new 7th Edition Codex removing Inquisition from the list. As such, I will re-tool it, but since I wont be fielding them as a playable force any time soon, my motivation is low. I will be adding some pics to this page as I get more miniatures painted up.
