Purging Gamesday 2009?

Once upon a time there was a man, he was wondering the great streets of a hive city, he stumbled into an odd building, a building dedicated to selling minature statues of heros past. The man intrigued began walking though the store. He came upon a mysterious man. They spoke of the worriors for many hours, he told storys of the deeds they had done. Then he spoke of young boy, invited to explore the realm where the heros were born, he called it games workshop, and the young boy met many heros, including the legendary crafter of heros who went by the game of Jes. The hero asked the boy what heros he liked and the boy replyed "demon hunters" and the hero said in reply "im working on the plastics for them at the moment" and he turned on his heal and into the shadows he returned.

 

This is another of of these friend of a friend storys, but it certainly sparked an interest when i heard it when the manager told me. Especially considering i heard a similar story years ago about jes saying he was working on the ork plastics then walking away mysteriously.

I find it funny that this is making it's rounds again after I posted it 2 months ago here.

 

Anyways, not to shut down speculation or anything, but this is purely a commissioned Games Day art piece and doesn't have anything directly tied into a release, codex or models otherwise. Those plastic grey knight rumours came from a different source over on warseer about FLGS not being able to reorder GKs and saying it was because of grey knights coming out in plastic (take it as with much salt as you will).

 

Now after the splash of cold water I gave you, I will follow up with this: I find it oddly appropriate that this was done for a Games Day which definitely coincides with Codex:Planetstrike and this piece is very much to that theme. In fact, Grey Knights are completely to this theme, being the Anti-Daemonic Strike Force they are. The new Stormtrooper is kinda a wild card right now because the pictures shown have them as arbites (which DH can't take) but surely they will come with hellguns as well (as they are expected to replace the current metal models) which means it can technically fill the DH and WH slot for C:PS (which I would not put past GW). It really won't be until C:IG comes out and has been around a while and then things will firm up.

 

Until then, I just am going to enjoy this piece for what it is: Grey Knights at their best. ;)

Plastic grey knights FTW. Shoot I would be a happy camper if they just did an GK Upgrade spure like what they did for the Black Templars. That whould be nice...

 

I would loose that much money... :D

 

I hope for cool sprues that cannot easily be used by normal Space Marines. We will see a lot of convertions in the I-cant-get-enough-must-have-all smurf lists.
