Vutall Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 So, I figured I could create a topic here for everyone to list their current models they own for Codex: Daemonhunters so the collective BnC community over here in Ordos Inquisition could talk about your collection, as well as speculate how effective your current models will be with the up and coming Codex Grey Knights. Ill start off: The following is a list of everything I own. I used to have a bunch more things for inquisitors, But I sold everything minus the three assassins in order to have some starting cash for when the Codex: Grey Knights book hits. Im now starting to think that what I have will be fairly useless when compared to the other options in the new upcoming codex. So, without further adue, I present my collection! 58 Power Armor Grey Knights with Storm Bolters and Halberds. 3 Power Armor Grey Knights with Storm Bolters and Swords. 19 Power Armor Grey Knights with Incinerators. 15 Power Armor Grey Knights with Psycannons. 4 Justicars in Power Armor with Storm Bolters and Halberds. 10 Justicars in Power Armor with Storm Bolters and Swords. 10 Terminator Armor Grey Knights with Storm Bolters and Halberds. 8 Terminator Armor Grey Knights with Storm Bolters and Swords. 3 Terminator Armor Grey Knights with Incinerators and Swords. 2 Terminator Armor Grey Knights with Psycannons and Halberds. 1 Terminator Armor Grey Knight with Psycannon and Sword. 1 Brother Captain in Terminator Armor with Storm Bolter and Halberd. 2 Brother Captains in Terminator Armor with Incinerators and Halberds. 1 Brother Captain in Terminator Armor with Psycannon and Halberd. 1 Brother Captain Stern in Terminator Armor with Storm Bolter and Sword. 2 Brother Captain Stern in Terminator Armor with Psycannons and Swords. 2 Dreadnoughts with Missile Launchers and Twin Linked Las Cannons. 1 Callidus Assassin 1 Culexus Assassin 1 Vindicare Assassin ... ... ... and a partridge in a pare tree!!! Hehe. Well, anyways, there you have it. So my thoughts looking at the list is that I am going to be completely outclassed by people who just buy the plastic kits due to the weapon options that will be in them. Combine that with the fact that nearly 70% of my models are well painted and based, plus the fact that (Im guessing) the new models wont mix well with the old ones, I am almost thinking I would be better off just selling my above collection and starting fresh. I have 500 store credit at my FLGS, so I will have a good start at the new box sets when they come out. What do you all think?

Justcar Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I would just use 'counts as rules' So what if you have halberds! Make your force count the way you want it. As long as you aren't playing a rouge and you are straight forward and keep track of your units, it should be fine!! ;D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223195-models-you-own-for-upcoming-release-of-codex-grey-knights/#findComment-2668682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vutall Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 I dont particularly like doing a "Counts-As" when the entire army looks the same. It would be okay if sy I owned the Forgeword Vehicle Psycannons and said "This counts as a lascannon" but not showing up to say an Apocalypse game with an entire 100+ model force, armed exactly the same, and telling my opponent All my halberds arnt really halberds. Some are Hammers, Swords, Falcions, or Staves. Then having to remember which I put where...oh boy.

Skyhawk Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well, the move to basically equip all Grey Knights with swords, knowing that we posess very few Justicars and not many of us ever bothered to convert regular GKs with swords in lieu of the definetly more cool halberd, is LOW! LOW, I tell you. <_< But it's also a marketing marvel :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223195-models-you-own-for-upcoming-release-of-codex-grey-knights/#findComment-2668703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiad Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Lol, this has come up recently. Going by GW's standard, anything goes - they call glaives 'halberds' (yes there's a difference - know your polearms) and falchions stand in for lightning claws but are actually one-handed swords everywhere else. Trust me, relax up on it. They'll be a lot of arguments over this anyway just because a writer doesn't know his weaponry. Besides we don't know for sure what changes will happen in the finalised version... ...just thinking about how easy it would be if they allowed NFW upgrades to be just a name (i.e. Purified Steel, etc.) and not named after a weapon type. :blush: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223195-models-you-own-for-upcoming-release-of-codex-grey-knights/#findComment-2668850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'm Having the same problem, and here is the solution I'll use to get past it : I'll paint my weapon's blades in different color scheme (EX : blue for halberd, Green for Falchion, Red for swords... etc...) Just my two cents, Tchezz.

Justcar Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 As another solution (for the new models), do you think it is possible to magnetize infantry? That would fix the problems of all new players!

Vindicatus Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 It's very possible. It's just a serious pain in the ass to drill out and magnetize such small pieces. In cases like this though, I almos think it would be worth the effort. I have a crapload of mini's for the Grey Knights that I'm in love with...and I really don't want to have to shelve them because "oh wait I already ahve dudes with that loadout". I'm considering knocking some arms off and refitting some magnets to make it worthwhile.

Vutall Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 I wouldn't mind magnetizing, but I have no idea what kind to buy or how big/small to make them. The people at my shop are pretty much sticklers about WYSIWYG, so just painting halberds different colors so they can be used as Hammers or Swords just doesn't seem like it would fly with them. I understand why they do it though, so that way our FLGS actually gets revenue brought in and you don't have people just buying Assault of Black Reach and saying: Oh, all these flamers count as plasmas, or all these missiles counts as lascannons when we are doing tournaments. How successful do you think I could be at trying to just sell everything? and what do you think a good asking price would be when the new models and codex are just around the corner?

Vindicatus Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 That's a real tough question as far as price goes. It just depends on the local market, and whether you're able to do face-to-face stuff, versus trying to ship it. I've had too many deals turn a shady at the end to ever want to ship something to someone without knowing them personally. As far as magnets go, you're looking for Neodymium (or rare earth) magnets. Usually come in small squares or circular in shape, and hella-strong for their size. As for actual sizes, I might ask around to some of the other folks; I haven't magnetized something that small before (the smallest being a few gun-turrets on my Thunderhawk for the LPC, and those were the size of quarters).

Marmande Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I sold my old metal Grey Knights off two years ago to a friend (who actually posts here) partly to help pay for schooling, but I've kept some of the old stuff around, including: -8 Death Cult Assassins :) -3 Heavy Bolter Servitors -1 of every Imperial Assassin aside from the Eversor :cuss And at the mention of Coteaz making Henchmen troops I started kitbashing an alternate model. Just needs a Sanguinary Guard chestpiece and he'll be finished. Even if the rules change I'll probably keep him around just for the fun of assembling all this.

Vutall Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Honestly, I migh pick up an Eversor just for the heck of it, but unless something changes the other 3 are really the best bang for the buck. Culexus next to a bunch of Henchman Psychers and Grey Knight Squads? Hello S5 AP2 Assault 30....Callidus, depending on how she comes into play (Able to deep strike or not when she arrives) combined with her show up hits and her ap1 shredder? =dead squad... and Vindicare, oh my. Bye Bye armor or special characters. What does the eversor really have to compete with those three? Not much, from what I cans see. Im really interested in buying a bunch of the metal henchman and inquisitors, in addition to Forge World inquisitors and such, but i dont know if it will be the smart thing to do.. Makes me wonder if they will be releasing new henchman boxes or just make it be a converter's paradise unit...

Machine God Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well I have a GKPA model lying about that I was going to convert to a Deathwatch Veteran. But I will wait for the Plastics as the conversion will be a lot easier.

jimbo1701 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have a humble 20 PAGKs and 10 terminators, so will be picking up some of the SCs, a dreadknight, 5 new termies (use as paladins) and 10 new PAGKs for the bits. I really like Mordrak and so am gonna finally invest in some silicon mold-making kit and clear resin to cast 10 ghost knights from the new plastic termies. While I'm at it I'll probably cast a load of spare weapons to magnetise once I've worked out some good load-outs.

Piousservant Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I ebayed all my GK recently... My intention had been to start afresh when the new codex was released with some probably awesome plastic kits - though I'm no longer sure that I will be bothering based on the info in the rumour thread.

MuGGzy Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Bah, my PA GKs may LOOK like they have "Halberds" but those are actually NF "Bardiche" or NF "Fauchard" isn't it obvious? The "Halberds" are GREEN. The hell if I am going to convert 30 metal figs to match the new codex. As far as the new one's matching the old, I imagine they will be close enough to mix in, if anything the new one's will work good to be "Purifiers" or "Paladins" and other "elite-elite" groups while the old PA/TA GKs will be just plain old "less than super-elite-elite" guys...or something like that.

Valerian Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Lets see, I've got: 2x Forgeworld Dreadnoughts with magnetized arms with multiple options (good to go). 1x Brother Captain Stern with Psycannon arm (he'll be my generic Grand Master) 1x Brother Captain with Halberd and Psycannon (might have to swap arms to give him Storm Bolter and Warding Stave, and he'll be my Librarian) 10x Terminators: 2x Psycannon, 5x Halberds, and 5x Swords. (Will just make 2 squads of 5 each GKT, each with an almost even mix of weapons) 40x Knights in Power Armor: 3x Psycannon, 2x Incinerators, 4x Justicars with Swords, and 31x Knights with Halberds. (still plan on just running them as 4x Strike Squads, and will keep the Halberds; its only an extra 155 points, for Initiative 5 attacks for the majority of my army. Against Orks or Tau it would be a waste, but against Marines or Eldar, it'll definitely be worthwhile). At this point, I don't see adding too much to my army other than a couple of Stormravens. This should be a cheap update for me. Valerian Edit: Might as well provide a picture, too. Here they are on the display board that I built for them several years ago.

Vutall Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 I guess it just depends on if the rumored statistics for the new weapons are true or not. I wouldn't mind having some of the new weapons for diverse squads. Good mix of Initiative 5, str 5, or reroll wounds..plus whatever the daemonhammer and waring staves do. Another thing that really concerns me is how well the models in plastic mesh with the models in metal. I dont want to be FORCED into having full units of metal with just halberds because either a fully modeled plastic looked dumb in the unit, or the weapons/arms didnt fit with the metal body On a side note: I have got a storm raven and a razorback kit now.

Arithon Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have been thinking about this as well and I reckon I need to some of the new stuff just to rearm some of my unpainted miniatures.

Tanhausen Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I don't own GK, but I have magnetized 40 terminators for my DW. Use 3mmx1mm magnets, anything bigger simply doesn't fit properly.

I was considering a scheme similar to that only with metallic when I start getting GK Vehicles instead of just Inquisition ones (til now I've been deep striking the GK's) and it's nice to see a quality paint job in a similar pattern to get a feel for. As for my own models, I've got: 1 BC w/ thunderhammer/daemonhammer & psycannon 4 GK termies w/ halberds 1 GK Justicar termie w/ sword & psycannon (may have to arm swap him back to storm bolter) 1 GK termie w/ incinerator & halberd 1 GK termie w/ psycannon & halberd 2 PAGK Justicars w/ sword (not sure what I'll do with these, might counts-as nemesis force hammers or do a weapon swap) 3 PAGK w/ incinerator 2 PAGK w/ psycannon 15 PAGK or so w/ halberds 3 Inquisitors (one w/ bolter-stake crossbow and force weapon, one w/ bolter and 'scabbarded weapon on back', one w/ pistol and eviscerator) hordes of retinue depending on how I count it including (but not limited to): 2 to 4 Acolytes, 3 familiars, 3 priests/heirophants (1 w/ eviscerator), 2 crusaders, 2 hospitallers, 3 sages, 4 mystics/psykers, 6 arcos, 6 dcas, 40 ISTs (4 sergeants w/ power weapon/pistol or various combos, 4 grenade launchers, 2 flamers, 2 meltaguns, 28 IST's w/ hotshot lasguns), various other bits n bobs I forgot like a couple servitors or oddball models. 2 vindicares, 1 callidus, 1 eversor (still need the psyker one) 1 Inquisitorial Land Raider 2 Inquisitorial Chimeras w/ Forgeworld auto-cannon turrets w/ heavy stubbers None of this will be sold :) I firmly believe in simply having multiple variations of armor and the like in my force, and will simply add to it. It's the Inquisition, it's supposed to be eclectic. That and I've got too many man hours of love invested in this army to start over. I'll just get more *grins* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223195-models-you-own-for-upcoming-release-of-codex-grey-knights/#findComment-2671429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindicatus Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I actually just bought a metric crap-load of 1/8" x 1/32 and 1/16" x 1/32" ND magnets so I can swap out arms if I need to...and of course to offer up the option to paying customers in the future :) I'd really hate to have to spend a stupid amount of time painting 3 seperate Nemesis arms for each guy but, if that's what I have to do...then alright.
