XRicciX Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 So here is the plan, im gonna be building a new gaming table when i move house in a few weeks, at the end of this gaming table i plan to buid a GK Fortress/Monastery. The whole "story" behind it would be an off world base that GK's use to meditate/pray/train. The Fortress is going to me at one end og the gaming board, and gonna be a removable piece. As a starting point i have ordered 4 bastions sets. 2 acting as gate houses for the main gates and the other resting futher along the walls. The walls will be around 12" high. The front gate will be wide and tall enough for a land raider to get through. Planning on maybe having 4 sets of hurricane bolters either sides of the doors as a close defense mechanism. The Fortress is gonna back onto 2ft high rock face, idea being that chapels and meditation rooms being deep within the rock. So after all that the reason why im posting! looking for any ideas or feedback u guys might have! where i could pick up some cool bits and pieces that might fit well in the terrain piece etc etc! Any feedback would be great! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192970-grey-knight-fortressmonastery/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntgcleaner Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 XRicciZ, Will this be a playable piece? Who would control it? (I assume the GK's) or will this be more of a show piece?

XRicciX Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 will be a very playable piece, like i said its going to be at the far end onf a gaming board, but be on a modualr piece of board so can be removed when not wanted. could be used as any other piece of terrain, but the fluff will be a GK fortress :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192970-grey-knight-fortressmonastery/#findComment-2294480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Thane Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Do they have those? As far as I know they're a highly secret Chapter, hidden away on Titan in the influence sphere of the Inquisition. Still... a cool idea nonetheless! I demand piccies!

Though their Chapter Fortress-Monastery is on Titan, IIRC they have secret bases throughout the Imperium to allow them to respond rapidly to Daemonic threats. I can't remember where I read that, though I imagine it must have been in the DH codex or the GK Index Astartes.

I can't remember where I read that, though I imagine it must have been in the DH codex or the GK Index Astartes. I am sure that they do not but I am also sure there are Inquisition fortresses, some hidden, some in plain sight and feared by all those who live nearby. The have IST in them all the time to respond to a daemonic threat and probably a way of contacting the grey knights and/or the qinuisition.

Grand Master Tyrak Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Though their Chapter Fortress-Monastery is on Titan, IIRC they have secret bases throughout the Imperium to allow them to respond rapidly to Daemonic threats. I can't remember where I read that, though I imagine it must have been in the DH codex or the GK Index Astartes. I know what you mean, but I'm sure it's the Inquisition who owns and operates them. That's all a moot point though, since I assume the more important ones will have garrisons of Grey Knights based there. The Grey Knights don't tend to function so well if they cut themselves off from their commanders ie. the Inquisitors. Unless you want to get into a detailed discussion about Land Law in the Imperium, they're basically the same thing.

Grand Master Caloth Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 tho i do not believe that Inquisitors are the GK commanders (that is my opinion and I will stick to it), i would be very interested in status updates on this project, as i've thought of doing something similar when I get home from deployment Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192970-grey-knight-fortressmonastery/#findComment-2297558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

- 7eAL - Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 tho i do not believe that Inquisitors are the GK commanders (that is my opinion and I will stick to it), i would be very interested in status updates on this project, as i've thought of doing something similar when I get home from deployment I believe that the correct term should be 'handlers'. The Grey Knights still retain relative political freedom and can respond to the Inquisition as, when and however they choose - they are not obligated to drop everything to respond to every minor Inquisitor's Daemonic conspiracy theories. However, without the Inquisition the Grey Knights have little to no independent information network, as they cannot maintain secrecy if they dispatch disposable investigators around the Imperium.
