Symbols of Purity

With Grey Knights looming large on the horizon, it's not surprising that some smaller companies have begun to produce a bit of "inspired by" add-ons that would be suitable for a force of grey-clad, armoured, sci-fi, warrior monks.
Here's some purity banners from Tabletop Art that would fit the bill. Hopefully they'll scratch your Grey Knight itch until we can get some images of something a bit more exciting.
If you check out the Tabletop Artswebsite, you'll also see some gothic sci-fi shields and other bits and bobs.
I've even seen some 54mm "sci-fi warriors" that look a bit like a certain line of Space Marines... at 54mm would they be the correct scale to act as a Primarch in an Apocalypse game?

They make quite nice alternatives to freehand work but I don’t think there are any models in the current range with banner poles, maybe the new ones will, but it seems a bit of a risk to make banners that fit best with models that don’t actually have banners… The size of the Primarchs, (Magnus excepted, he was notably a giant next to the other Primarchs even before he became a 30 foot Daemon) wasn’t all that much bigger than a normal marine after all The lion sword is easily carried around by Cypher, the Gauntlets of Ultramar are wielded… Read more »
Sorry Andy, but at 54mm scale a standard SM is about 75mm tall, minimum – making them the same height as a 40k Wraithlord roughly.
