[Collaboration] Codex: Grey Knights Review - Elites Part Two



We've saved the best for last.  Here we are closing out the Grey Knights force review with the rest of the elites.  The part that includes the Paladins and Purifiers that are forming the theme around which a lot of armies are based.

[Collaboration] Codex: Grey Knights Review: Elites - Part 1


The Grey Knight Elites was another section we decided to break in two because of the range of choices provided. This part of the review will cover the Assassins and Inquisitorial Henchmen.  You have a huge range of options here as well as a lot of low cost choices that will help to fill in gaps in your lists.  Like the HQ and Heavy sections, Elites are going to fill out fast for Grey Knights.

[Collaboration] Codex Grey Knights Review: Heavy Support

Heavy support is a section where the Grey Knights have a lot of good options. Enough that rifle dreads will probably often show up as Venerable rifle dreads, and the rock that is the Land Raider will have to fight for space.

[Collaboration] Codex: Grey Knights Review: HQ, Part One

Welcome to a new series, brought to you by Marcus, and myself, Martin. Combined brainpower for the win!
Don't let Obama here tell ya' any different...
Over the next month or so, we'll be taking you through Codex: Grey Knights, with an in-depth look at every entry. No matter whether you're one of many enthusiastic new Grey Knights novices, or anxious about facing off against the Heralds of Titan in a tournament; we hope these article are 'the droids you're looking for...'

[Martin's Musings] Vassal 40K

Heard of Vassal? Perhaps you have. If not; it's a free-to-download and -use computer application. It's designed to be able to run hundreds of user-designed and -maintained modules for all sorts of games. The one we're interested in...

Your addiction starts here. Don't say I didn't warn you.

[Martin's Musings] Flight of the Valkyries



Hay, all!

You'll come to expect, and tolerate, my wackiness. I spend most of my time looking for the weird and the wonderful in terms of army lists. I test drive them on Vassal, and they either Ca-pwn, or crash and burn. But it's a learning experience! And it's always great to try something new, right? I'm not going to get into list-building philosophy too much, but for me, it starts with an image. Some sort of idea that grabs my imagination, and then turn it into a list. In this case? Rather than put it into words, have a video.
Aaand... embedding disabled on request. I know, I know, clicking is manual labour. Apologies to our US viewers; the video won't work. Search "Flight of the Valkyries" for a suitable alternative.

[Martin's Musings] Hay Guys!


Evenin'!

MWC has very kindly asked me to become a contributing writer here on his blog; with it being one of the biggest modelling blogs in the business, how could I refuse? I didn't need asking twice.

I'm Martin. Over time, y'all will grow to love - or hate - me, but for now, I'm just some guy putting words up on your screen, right? So, you want to know, who am I? Well, I've been in the hobby around a year now. This probably sends alarm bells off with you right away. Granted, I'm not experienced, but I've come a long way in that year; I'm sure I can bring something to the table. I'm keen to grow and expand in terms of hobby knowledge and ability, as well as sharing that which I already have. I'm certain that writing here will be the next big step on that ladder.
