Squad Polo

    While waiting for the combat patrol to arrive I had a bright idea and bought myself a second terminator squad. Then because I was doing two of the same squad at the same time I gave them matching names and opposite heraldry.

   Reading the before mentioned Emperor's Gift novel there is a battle scene where just over a 100 Grey Knights all descend onto a planet to attack a daemon army*, every marine of which is in terminator armour - this is a scene I'd love to replay one day** but I can do on a small scale if I have a handful of terminator squads.

*minor spoilers

**very much doubt I will

Squad Marco

   The next unit is some Terminators for my Grey Knights. These are another unit that came in the combat patrol, is they are built to that rule sets specifications. I quite enjoyed this kit as it's just so different from any other terminators that GW will sell you.

   I didn't go nuts on the goldwork and left a lot of details as carved areas of their armour just to give characters and their elite terminator unit somewhere to go in the future.

Squad Romeo

    A project I painted towards the end of 2024 that never made it onto the blog were my Grey Knights;

   Over the summer I reread The Emperor's Gift for the umpteenth time, it's a book that always makes me tempted to do a Grey Knight army but I'm normally pretty good at avoiding that fate. However, with Combat Patrol being a thing and it being easier to organise those small games, I could do an army of just 11 models, scratch that itch, actually use them and happily move on.

   So I received the combat Patrol for my birthday and got on with it*. This is the regular power armour squad - Squad Romeo. If this army ever expands much beyond the few bits I have picked up it is unlikely to be more power armour guys as I heavily expect Grey Knights to get the new marines in time, which would replace these.

*then didn't post anything
