GK progress

While working on some stuff for friends, I have squeezed in some work on my Grey Knights. I came up with a list that I want to build with a core that won't change too much as I playtest it. So far I am just about done stripping and fixing up 20 terminators. I still have 10 strike squad marines to go and my troops will be ready to hit the table for some games. I have the bitz for my inquisitor ordered from Spikey Bitz. As it turns out, I actually met Spikey Bits Rob at adepticon and didn't know it. Anyway, my storm ravens will need a little work before I can begin to paint them. And lastly I have the dreadknight stripped, cut apart, and ready for a good cleaning before I even begin to pose it. People have said the model is very static and unable to change it's pose. I take that as a challenge and will make it a centerpiece in my army.

Here's my 1850 list so far.

HQ
-Malleus Inq. With power armor, daemon blade, brain mines, and psycher lvl1

Troops
-10 termies with 2 psycannons, psybolt ammo, and a mix of swords/halberd/hammers(2)
-10 termies with 2 incinerators, psybolt ammo, and a mix of sword/halberds/hammers(2)
-10 strike squad with 2 psycannons and psybolt ammo

Fast
-storm raven with multi melta and lascannon
-storm raven with heavy bolter, assault cannon, hurricane sponsons, and psybolt ammo

Heavy
-Dreadknight with heavy incinerator


I may switch the inquisitor to xenos to get psykotroke grenades. As the daemon blade will add to the mastery level, but I don't think it will give him a second power from the brb. I need to get playing though. My goal for 6th is to kick up my competitive gaming and play an army uniquely mine.

Lazy

Well, I've been lazy on the hobby front. Adepticon has come and gone, and I've gotten some great progress with my roleplaying groups.

Roleplaying-wise....Dead Reign was a total bust. Only a few friends could make it. And all but one of them had to cancel or got other plans at the last minute. No big deal, I ended up playing video games and drinking beer with a good friend.
Rifts is going great now. The last game session was a lot of fun. I feel like I'm almost back to my old form. The game is fun and relaxing. Storyline has begun to pick up and I think it's engaging the players.
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay has been fantastic whenever the group has been able to meet. We've lost a player, and adepticon has gotten in the way recently. But there's a good chance 2 new players may begin to show up.

Wargaming-wise...I have a half painted SAGA warband. And I picked up about $600 of grey knights for $300. While assembled and painted a little, I don't mind. I also picked up two boxes of grey knight termies on spruce for $50. One is missing the daemon hammers, but it was still a steal. The next step is to strip and model an 1850 list.
