Knights of Titan


Grey Knights are chugging along. I have a 1000 pt list planned out and probably not very competitive but its fitting for the style I/m going with. I am done to 8 models left to build which 4 are rhino bodies. Sadly only 5 models are painted of the 25 in the list.

I have moved away from playing the 3rd Brotherhood under Grand Master Voldus to the 6th Brotherhood under Grand Master Anval Laraon



6th Brotherhood 'The Rapiers' : The 6th are known as stringent taskmasters and strategic thinkers. The Grand Master of the 6th, the High Seneschal of the Citadel of Titan, is tasked with crafting the most elite and deadly strike forces. Rather than mass firepower, the 6th relies on surgical strikes of elite smalls quads. When mass manpower is necessary, the 6th will deploy mindless Servitors to bog down the enemy to allow the Grey Knights to focus on higher risk targets


Why the change? No Special characters, Rapid Strikes/ Responses, and fits my build better. Also allows me to convert my HQs more.  No need for Stern when I can build/ Convert a plastic  brother captain from the box with a few other parts. Voldus will have his hammer replaced with a Halbred and be used to support my back line with his relic stormbolter and Gate of Infinity psychic power.

My main Hq will be a Brotherhood Champion due to saving points and he fits with most of my forces. Plus he can have a plus 3 to his wound roll.....with D3 damage a hit....with 4 attacks.... so 12 wounds possible.

Whoops......

Well with Bolter and Chainsword being down, I kind of forgot to update the blog and had some other hobbies I was working on.

So here's an update on all the 40k projects:

- Adepta Sororitas Project- Stalled
-Raptors Adeptus Astartes- Stalled
-Exorcists Adeptus Astartes- Stalled
-Crimson Fists Adeptus Astartes- Purchased Icons and Squad markings....stalled too
NOTE- I have just not felt like working on these projects as they are airbrush heavy and lack of time for me to airbrush. Also weather is not helping either.....
-Grey Knights- Paint in progress.....Seriously


So I switched over to "building" actual Grey Knights for Kill Team...not Exorcists counting as Grey Knights. While looking through youtube videos I found a video from Sledgehammer studios on How to paint Grey Knights quickly 

With a Paint guide in hand I tackled building first 5 Kill team Members:


  • Justicar with a Nemesis force Sword (I really am confused why I built him with it as my lists had him with a Pair of Nemesis Falchions)
  • Combat Specialist with a Pair of Nemesis Falchions
  • Zealot Specialist with a Pair of Nemesis Falchions (seeing a theme here)
  • Comms Specialist with a Psilencer
  • Grey Knight Halbred......
Built and primed I went to work painting my Justicar and 40k list building.....Next thing I know I have 3 5 man strike teams with various load outs and a Brother Champion to count as my "Commander" hopefully. 

The FAQ dropped and well models got cheaper cause Falchions are now 1 pt for the pair not 1 pt per blade but needing 2. and well Psilencer is no longer comms as he cant buff himself...heavy it is.

Friday will be my first game of kill Team against Deathguard.....outnumbered by 3 models cause he of pox walkers...hopefully I do good.
