Why the 7th Brotherhood?

Why the 7th Brotherhood of Grey Knights?  Well I toyed with the idea of the 3rd Brotherhood but personally felt tied into fielding Grand Master Voldus and Brother Captain Stern and it felt kinda enh. The 6th Brotherhood was about rapid strikes and no special characters. But the 7th Brotherhood has something even more fitting to my style of play....

7th Brotherhood - Covan Leorac, Representative to the Inquisition, commands the 7th Brotherhood with Darig Tegvar as its Brother-Captain. The Inquisition and the Grey Knights are inextricably intertwined, their goals often aligning. The 7th Brotherhood has a long history of operations alongside the Ordo Malleus, and many Brother-Captains have personal relationships with Inquisitors. As a result, respected Inquisitors are more likely to gain favour from the Brotherhood if they call for aid, as more than one Inquisitor has learned. Grand Master Leorac maintains the Chapter's secret knowledge of the Inquisition, tomes of lore on the Inquisitors of each Ordo reaching back thousands of standard years. It is rare for individual Battle-Brothers to serve with the same Inquisitor more than once, lest either should learn too much of the other.

The ability to add an Inquisitor to the army seems like an awesome idea and helps further the explanation of why my Grey Knights are on Campaign with no daemons present.

On to the models
