Update: Grey Knights

Well it's been a while since I last made a real effort to finish an imperial army. Although with my winding down of my Valhallans a bit I wanted to try something new, and I have this metal army I got a few years ago that looks awesome. Enter a new codex and BAM! My Grey Knights are the new hotness on the 40K scene. This opens a great opportunity to jump into a whole new army with some great looking models. Even the older metal models still hold up well to the new plastics. With the models I have and the new additions I have made I think I can really put together a fun force to play. Add on a new Dreadknight for fun, along with some inquisitorial units and the force is now a nasty combined arms force. I plan on taking the rest of the year on this project and hoping that at the end of the year I will have a fully painted and based army of Daemonhunter badness! Here is my blue print army list, some of the units are already done and are waiting for reinforcements. The Dreadnought and GK Striker Squad 2 are already done, and a few other units will also join the army to rise the bar in points. As for the Inquisition, you can look forward to some special characters as well as an assassin, and maybe working my now removed stormtroopers into the mix. I will be posting some newly painted models update soon! Enjoy! :)

Forge World Updates Characters for new GK's Codex

If you didn't get the FW Email the other day you might not have known that FW took a moment to update it's Inquisitorial Characters and the Psycannon Upgrade for Armor. Inq. Hector Rex of the Ordo Malleus and Inq. Solomon Lok of the Ordo Xenos now have updated rules for use with the newly released Grey Knights codex. This is great news since before this update Lok was limited to his assigned retinue in the Imperial Armour books, and now he is able to fight alone or with a codex retinue. So now I have a good reason to break my model out and paint him up. I never owned a Rex model so I was not as fired up to use him with this update, but that might change now that he is updated too. Maybe one day I might pick him up from FW.

Finally the other update was to the Psycannon upgrade you can give some Grey Knights tanks, flyers, or walkers. The points have been updated for the weapon. I'm guessing that since these are new updates we will see the final version of these 3 updates in the refurbished Imperial Armour 2 Marines and Inq. book which is in the works now. The link is below, try the characters out and enjoy! :)

Rynnsguard Update: Still Here and Ticking!

The last few months have been slow here in the Rynnsguard. Mainly due to my participation in a 40K Escalation League, where I was playing Chaos Daemons, so I haven't had much of a chance to work on anything Imperial related, but that is now over and time to for a change. My priorities are about to change, especially with the release of the new Grey Knights codex. As you can see above I have made my codex purchase along with some new reinforcements for the army. I also dug out an old promotional inquisitor for the coming army. So I will be working on my grey knights on and off from now on since now they are back with style! Where do my Stormtroopers go from here, they become Henchmen...at least for this army, although they will see action with my IG armies as well. So with the changing of the guard a new imperial army is going to grow here.

Valhallan 199th: The 199th is still a major work in progress for me, as they have become my top IG army for my imperial forces. As I have stated before I have been working on a Griffon for the armor forces of this army, and I am very close to finishing it now. Today it will have fully painted tracks on it, and soon I will finish painting all the extra bits on it and be ready for the finishing touches.



Along with the Griffon I will be adding more light armor to the force. So while the escalation league was running I have slowly been amassing more and more sentinels. I got an idea ticking in the back of my mind for an Apocalypse formation, but it will also give my force more armor to play with in regular games....so more sentinel love coming to the 199th!



I will be posting new updates soon on more items coming down the pipeline for the Rynnsguard! Enjoy! :)
