Hello gents, thought I’d post up my grey knight army seeing as it’s almost finished. my goal this last year, for 2022, was to finally finish my grey knights collection and move onto something else. I’ve done that to a point, just need to finish painting a scratch built tech marine and I’ll be done. My goal over the Christmas holidays was to finish my imperial knight, which I bought… I wanna say 7-8 years ago, whenever the imperial knights were first released. he largely remained unpainted and un-used, but I set a goal this Christmas to finish him. He’s got decals and stuff as well. Once I get kills with him, I’ll start recording it on his should pad. He’s a freelance knight who the Grey Knights saved, and has vowed to assist them and repay the debt. Draigo was the first model I ever bought back in 5th edition. And he’s horribly painted compared to rest, I tried to touch him up over Christmas. None the less, he’s that garbage finecast crap, and his sword kept falling over limp… so I chopped it off and put a boss looking custodes sword on there. this Christmas I also finished my kit bashed chaplain. And my last squad of terminators. Over the years my bases have progressed from real sand to the new texture paints from GW. I’m ok with that though. there’s a few un finished rhinos/ razorbacks but I don’t think I’ll ever be using them again. anyway enjoy, I suck at taking pics, should I do some close ups of the characters? now that I’ve pretty much done them, I’ve got my mrs working on my small army of tyrannids and I should help finish that off. my goal for 2023 is my new 1500pts worth of custodes I got for Christmas. (the Christmas box set) I plan to get an airbrush and do simpler marble style bases to resemble a palace floor.

So I was taking some pictures of my army, wanting to collect it in one spot and thought with the amount of time I have put into playing, building and painting this army, it seemed only right to do a blog. +++++++++++ Prot's Everything Dark Angels +++++++++++++++ "Fear not the heretic, nor the xenos for the Lion walks with us."

There's quite a breakdown here of things to consider, but it could still use a bit of help from the forum. I played Ravenwing almost exclusively in 6th, and still do so in 7th but not as often as I prefer mixing it up now. + A Logical Discussion Comparing the Dark Angels Codex Vs. the Space Marine Codex in 7th edition+ >Link to Discussion< This thread could have went either way, but I found it to be a great resource when all was said and done.
