Manic Monday #16- Grey Knight Paladins

     Well another weekend has come and gone. Worked 5 (2 were 9 hour shifts the other 3 were 12 hrs) days instead of my normal 3 12 hr shifts, then painting the interior of the house over the weekend, cooking dinner on the pellet grill,  and some grocery shopping...very busy. I did manage to get some modeling done.




    Of late I have been focused on my Grey Knights more. I think its cause I want to build the 3 Land Raiders and Storm Raven for them. I still have 18 more terminators to build plus 20 plus strike marines (some will be used as vehicle crew tho. I need one more Dreadknight so I can run 2 and a Grand Master in Dreadknight Armor.  And need to build another 2 razorbacks, one of which will be converted in a Recovery Razorback for the Techmarine. Lots of stuff planned. 




    I purchased some 36 gauge Aluminum Foil from Amazon to make purity Seals, long Parchment, and tabards as I was unhappy with my green stuff ones.  So Wednesday night I mocked up one of my Paladins. 

Content with the look I dawned on me that the Paladins need to stand out more then that an need more bling.




Like the tabard bit in the box I decided to add chain in front of their tabards. So I grabbed my chain, and started gathering all the bits up Stormbolters, psycannons, tilt shields, back banners. grenades, pouches etc.
30 PL, 543 Pts of Paladins


All that is left is adding debris to their bases and Green stuff wax seals.

Then I built a fourth Librarian out of Lexicarnum Valus model. I switched his Right shoulder pad, left arm and pad, and added Grey Knight bits to him. 


And to end the night I started cleaning the shields and Storm bolters for the regular Terminator squad.

Manic Monday #14- Getting there

 


Well the desk, drawers, glass cabinets, and paint racks are built and I have started placing models in the cabinets. I quickly realized 3 shelves are not enough and ordered 4 acyrlic shelves off of etsy along with mounts this will increase my shelves from 6 to 10 which should hold everything. 





I have decided to cut down my Raptors and Mortifactor armies to what I would field in a normal game. I guess I shoudl but the Space Marine Codex. I will be selling a lot of the unbuilt and sealed stuff to fund other projects (Adepta Sororitas and Heavy Gear mostly). 

  • Mortifactors will be Indomintus box plus a few other units like intercessors, inceptors and Hellblasters.

  • Raptors will be set up on Vanguard detachment with scouts leading the way for the infiltrators, incursors, Suppressors, and eliminators.

  • With the Piety and Pain box set coming out I will build a small Drukhari force around the Cult of Strife based around Lilth. 


  • The 7th Brotherhood will continue as planned. I have very little to buy for them as I have almost everything, outside of Dreadknights. With Storm Raven, Storm Talon and Stormhawk and 3 Land Raiders. this army will take up lots of space. I'm still debating on the Legio Models Grey Knight Upgrade knight kit. 





  • The Order of the Valorous Heart will continue as planned also. Right now short the armor vehicles and of course the Piety and Pain box set. Then its building and painting.
