"To the righteous we bring hope. To the tainted we bring fire." —Castellan Garran Crowe

"Garran Crowe is a castellan of the Grey Knights Chapter and a notable hero of that elite and highly secret unit of the Adeptus Astartes. Castellan Crowe is both the head and Brotherhood Champion of the Purifier Order.   A nobler exemplar of the Grey Knights would be impossible to find -- by the measure of the Grey Knights, Crowe is a flawless soul, not so much resistant to the temptations of Chaos as immune to them. It is well that this is so, for Garran bears a burden greater than an

"Our will shall be our weapons, our faith shall be our armour." Part 1

True Scale Grey Knights Project Log*   So this will be the start of my True Scale Grey Knights.  I was resistant to doing a True Scale Grey Knight army, but as more models are redone the tiny scale wore me down.  So I'll be running the Crusade with @The_Oni_of_Hindsight for our group in February 2026. So to have the models ready I have to get a start sooner than later.  So I have been getting the pieces ordered or purchased.         So here is the projected bui

‘I am not people. I am a Grey Knight!"

So my Gaming Group/ Club Metal Head Armory  moves into month 3 of the LGS Heresy Slow Grow League, as individuals outside of playing each other in the League games we have lost every game.  But some of them are epic fun loses.    We have 4 more months to go but we are looking for our next Club game. We were thinking Horus Heresy at first but we have decided to play 40k instead but more specifically playing Crusade.    @The_Oni_of_Hindsight - League of Votaan @HeiYu13

"Not just a psyker, a mirror psyker, that rarest of rare beasts."- Ravenor on Zael

Horus Heresy has been taking up a lot of my hobby time. And that is not a bad thing. I do really like my Raven Guard with a planned Sisters of Silence allied force. I am also building Solar Auxilia (eventually- have the models) and building all my Mk II/ Mk III and Saturnine stuff into Space Wolves. The Space Wolves will take some time because of the amount of conversions.  My group has started discussing playing 40k again. So with me messing with Space Wolves, I looked into maybe potentially pl

2 games down....Time to shelve Grey Knights for a little bit

Had 2 games this Saturday   1st game Emperor's Children I won 6-2 but was tabled photos can be seen here   2nd Game was against World Eaters, Lost 3-1....severely wounded Dreadknight Geraint choosing to leave the battlefield after turn 2 here   Grey Knights need lots of help. Points are way too high, and damage output too low.  So until Codex is released, they have to be shelved.

Teleport Strike Countdown: T Minus - 8 Days

Well 2 of my (adopted step) sons had Kindergarten Graduation last night so, instead of an hour+ paint time, I got about 30 minutes. I painted purity seals, scrolls, book pages (I forgot the book on the Brother-Captain's belt), and the browns.            With today being wife's birthday, not sure how much I'll get done tonight but I'll have more time Saturday.

“I am His sword as He is my armour” Vol 2 Part 2

So there I was working on my Adepta Sororitas  painting my Retributors and building my Sanctifiers (which are finally done). Next thing I know, my Adepta Sororitas are back in display cabinet and Grey Knights are on the table! They just teleported on to my desk…I swear.    See I swore. Truth is I love my Adepta Sororitas army, and Monday my wife and I leave for the UK, Scotland, and Ireland for almost 3 weeks and I don’t want them lying around in our office in case of little hands or p

Grey Knight Projects

When Prognosticars detected that the Great Unclean One, Co'vid, would descended on Khymara Prime and only the Forces of the Grey Knights could stop it. The Prognosticar decided that a Rapid Strike force be deployed and waiting Co'vid's appearance could save humanity. Led by 2nd Brotherhood Landry De Lauzon and 2nd in command by Techmarine Talus and his 2 servitor squads Montessa and Calatrava, Venerable Dreadnought Draper, Strike squads De Caux, De Monglane, and De Hautville, Purgation squad Des

" TO THE RIGHTEOUS WE BRING HOPE. TO THE TAINTED WE BRING FIRE."     Well my group is diving in to Chaos. One member has a full Daemon Army Led by Be'lakor and may have Thousand Sons, one is building Emperor's Children, @The_Oni_of_Hindsight has started World Eaters, and finally one is thinking about building Death Guard.

Reinforcing the Hammer, the preface

Wow, It is December already.....    As I look toward 2025, I am thinking what the future holds in the Terms of the Hobby.  I know part of the Hobby will be going to Warhammer World (and maybe a stop at Element Games has been suggested) in April/ May 2025 as part of my honeymoon excursion across England, Scotland and Ireland. The wife and I are discussing turning Office/ Hobby area into a spiritual room/ Library/ Office and moving hobby area to garage, which means garage remodel which m

"The machine spirit is prepared."

Back in June 13, 2023 I posted about building 5 Land Raiders (here). Well outside of the weapons, I only built a Hybrid Mk IIb Land Raider (Forgeworld, GW, and Blood and Skulls back vents and tracks)  for my Purifiers.        Well playing with different builds and needing Lascannons to deal with armor threats,  another Land Raider was in order.     Finally using the FW brass etch from years gone by plus FW Grey Knights Doors

"I am His sword as He is my armour." Part 3

Welcome to Part 3 of my Nemesis Dreadknight paint log.  I have 3 more to paint (1 Grand Master Nemesis Dreadknight and 2 Nemesis Dreadknights) and I will apply lessons learned to those ones. Most importantly finish build the bases before starting painting. I need to pick up more 3d printed basing bits as it did speed up my basing process vs me making them. I really like the Army Painter Fanatic Effects  Plasma Coil and Data Slate Glows. I may have to repaint all my Nemesis force weapons glow eff

"I am His sword as He is my armour."

Trying to get back in the swing of painting has been tough. I have been dealing with the stress of being a new  (step) dad, wedding planning, normal life, and work. While it is not depression or it may be a slight depression, it kept me from getting motivated in the hobby.  It also could be the pile of Grey plastic sprues, base coated models and boxes of unbuilt models.  So with Imperial Agents coming out I knew I would be going to the LGS to pick up my preorder, I figure why not get a game or t
