Recently got back into the hobby and decided to go for a small elite army of Grey Knights, all terminators giving me a total of 21 models to take my time over.

Here's a quick breakdown of the army list;

>Grand Master | Psilencer + Soul Glaive

>10 Terminators | x2 Psycannon | x2 Stave | x8 Halberd
>10 Terminators | x2 Psycannon | x2 Stave | x2 Hammer | x3 Halberd | x3 Falchions

Tactics wise
I just want something super fun to play with, got a fair bit of psychic fun to play with and should be able to tear up low toughness multiple wound models with the Grand Master, the squads split into combat squads to give more warp charge, and to divide the psycanons into 2 per five man squad. Eventually I'm going to add 2 godhammer Land Raiders to boost it to 1500 points and give me some dedicated antitank and hard to kill transport, then if I can find the funds I'll be tempted to add another 2 Land Raiders [Redeemer Pattern with Multi Meltas] to give me a nice 2000 pt Army with 4 Land Raiders which can transport the entire army while dishing out some heavy firepower.

Modelling
I ordered 4 Kits of Terminators and a few bits to make the Grand Master without having to get another kit or the Grand Master model.

Grand Master is made of a Dark angels terminator front with the head cut off, a strike squad psilencer on his right arm and an elongated Halberd on his left for the soul glaive.

The Terminators are fairly standard with some alteration to make them all a bit different, my favourite by far the the Falchions Terminator below.

The bases are simple corse sand and bits of plasticard to make ruins, going to keep these a simple city fight style base.

Painting -
Going to keep these guys the standard silver, building up from a black undercoat, to a dark silver, then using oil paint and meths to give me a nice dirty wash effect, going to try my hand at the blue force weapon technique [dragging i think it is?]

Let me know what you think, I'll update as I start painting, almost there just need to double check I've got rid of all my mould lines and all the guns are drilled out.

Enjoy...

Update, got my priming done and a few models started off, twin sword guy is looking pretty cool...





Still nee to do the purity seals and give it a good wash, decide to not go for the blue swords as I couldn't get it to look good, just went for a nice bone shade instead.

I understand putting the 'grey' in Grey Knights, but honestly it feels a little monochromatic. Maybe some highlights?
