First, the Grey Knights

I have an embarrassing number of metal miniatures, nearly all released in the period 1994 to 2004.  They include Guard, Sisters of Battle and a few Grey Knights.  The collection of models is intended to represent the forces available to an Inquisitor.


From White Dwarf 280 (2003):


The Grey Knights were sculpted by Aly Morrison, while the terminators were done by Jes Goodwin.
Why the Grey Knights (who are supposed to be 7 foot tall) are the same size as a human (see Tallarn figure below) while the terminator (the same 7 foot tall space marine in bulkier armour) is 25% taller is not clear.

I will be using the scheme used to good effect by TheApatheticFish on YouTube so to start I am base coating the primed models with Leadbelcher and Rhinox Hide on the bases.

So there is no excuse for thinking that this blog is anything other than a little on the mediocre side.

Why this blog?

Re-enact my youth? Re-treat from reality for a little? Think about something else other than impending financial doom?

Probably a bit of all of these.

I previously had a blog here where I had set myself the mission is to collect and paint an army of Warhammer 40k miniatures. I must admit that the hobby became buying metal miniatures on ebay with very little painting.

Let's try again and just see how it goes.
