@mage so far 2 Knights painted, the parts I was waiting for for my Knight Preceptor arrived today, so that and the 2 Armiger Warglaives are ready to be painted, and I won an auction on Ebay for a 3rd Warglaive. All told that comes in at just over 1800 points as a single Super-Heavy Detachment, with points spare  for a Loyal 32 Battalion for CP shenanigans 😀 Will admit I’d like a Valiant and either a Gallant or Errant down the line to pad that out….

Both the armoured dudes are actually Inquisitors – the Librarian-looking chap is the Silas Hand mini from the ltd edition Demonifuge set that came with Ephrael Stern (still regretting parting with that model…) based on the strip from the old Warhammer Monthly comic, whilst the other was my attempt to make a modified take on this chap:

…using a metal Grey Knight Terminator as a base. Head is from one of the old Van Saar leader models, the Deamon Hammer is two plasma pistols on the head of a Nemesis Force Halberd with sigils from the Inquisitor range, then the skull on the shoulderpad is the top from Eisenhorns staff. Ironically the bionic leg is the one from the original terminator inquisitor (I had more than a few of that  model at one point…)

Irksomely the Space Wolves book is light on successors compared to the other Marine Codexes, a surprise given it was the last one out. You would have though that at the least they would have had a section on The Wolfspear (but I suspect GW still don;t know what to do with that idea as of yet)…

I don’t think the Techpriest was limited edition…

…nope, still available 🙂

I do need to pick up that Company of Thorin set at some point, and actually paint some LOTR stuff – I’ve a huge Rohirrim cavalry force in a box I  painted back when the films were coming out, and a chunk of Gondor I never got around to painting…
