Inquisitor Lord Galandor Krom Reassigned!

Well, sadly with the parting of ways with my Grey Knight Army for 40k, I have not really been able to field this brilliantly painted and modeled Inquisitor Lord.  This is a second edition GW Rogue trader model that I have used for several years.  I just don't field him anymore now that I run a strictly Deathwatch Space Marine Army!  So he is going up for auction on Ebay:

He is incredibly customized with over eight different bits, pinned and master-painted with appropriate blends and highlights for a character model.  Armed with terminator armor, digital weapons, daemon hammer/halberd and psycannon (not shown), he has been the nemesis of many a fowl denizen from the warp!  Would love to find him a good home!

American Team Championship: Grey Knights Glory!

Recently I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the ATC or American Team Championship!  It is essentially the "power gamers" tournament for Warhammer 40,000 (40K), Warhammer Fantasy (which is now Age of Sigmar), as well as Hordes and Warmachine.  I have been a die-hard 40k fan since second edition.  I have always wanted to attend a major event like this, and decided to take a team of five to attend.

The tournament format with a team of five, is you draw a team and then the team captains roll-off for pairings between the different team-members.  My team had no delusions of glory, and since we are not power gamers (but more fluff players) we knew that we would have to "take it on the chin" in order to get bracketed lower tier in order to get more games of our liking.

While at the event, I had the opportunity to have a professional photographer take some pics of my army, so I thought I would take the time to post them up... so here are my Grey Knights!

Grand Master Kaldor Draigo, High Grand Master of the Grey Knight Space Marine Chapter.

Here he is modeled with a blood-letter of Khorne's head impaled on the mighty Sword of Titan!

My Warlord, Grey Knight Librarian Galandor Kree; he performed in a most amazing way for me during the tournament! Very pleased with his performance!

Inquisitor Lord Torquemeda Coteaz with his two-headed psyber eagle... many a daemonic foe has fallen to this hero of the imperium!

A Grey Knight Librarian, armed with a force staff and a combi-stormbolter.

The Nemesis Dreadknight: armed with a psychically charged psilencer and a psyflamer... it is an anathema to every foe the Grey Knights face!

 

Grey Knight Terminators taking orders from their Justicar...

 

Justicar Thaine barking orders at his holy Grey Knights to take down the Emperor's enemies!

The entire 1,850 points of my Grey Knight Nemesis Strike Force!

 

Had a great time at the ATC and really enjoyed the experience!

Thanks for taking a moment to look at my army!

Packing a Psychic Punch: Grey Knight Librarian

I remember the first time I read the "fluff" in the Warhammer 40,000 2nd edition rulebook concerning the Grey Knights.  I was completely mesmerized by the fact that these "holy" space marine warriors were genetically enhanced to combat the evils opposing humanity, especially regarding Daemons!

Immediately I went to work trying to acquire some, and tracked down an Inquisitor as well to round out these psychically attuned Daemon-baned warriors!  Needless to say, when nobody in my gaming group (back in the day) had an answer for Daemons, these guys brought in a whole new mechanic.  Chief among these warriors is their Librarian, who packs quite a wallop with almost 32 spells at his disposal, and for a few more points can kit him out pretty wickedly (including servo-skull stopping of scouting and infiltrating units!)

At any rate, this guy has been sitting on my shelf for far too long, collecting dust... so I decided to dust him off and finally get him painted.  Here is the frontal:

 

The filigree on the staff and loin cloth was a bit of a pain, but overall, I think he turned out pretty crazy cool!

Varying poses from the front.  I really like the dynamic, and especially like the manner in which he is handling the gun.

The back shows off the detail on his back, including the scroll work on the purity seals and the tomb on his shoulder.  Basing was pretty easily done, gluing down a base-on-base with some sand and rock sprinkled around... pretty cool result!

 

Vote for him at Cool Mini or Not!

 

Let me know what you think! :D
