Grey Knights ou "Como a GW se passou de vez..."

Novo lançamento da GW, Grey Knights. Sei que é habitual a linha de modelos, assim como as regras, ir ficando cada vez mais ridicula, mas acho que desta vez a GW exagerou...

Citação :

The Grey Knights are the most mysterious of all the Imperium's many organisations. Few outside the upper echelons of the Inquisition hold any knowledge of the Chapter's founding, and even these most trusted of men are denied the full truth. For ten thousand years the Grey Knights have stood between the Imperium and the Daemons of the Warp. An incorruptible army of genetically engineered warriors, they are armed and armoured with the finest wargear Mankind can supply, for no others in the Emperor's service have so dire a task as they.

Citação :

The Grey Knights are the most mysterious of all the Imperium's many organisations. The most advanced psychosurgery and bioengineering is used to condition them into the mightiest warriors in the galaxy, immune to fear and sights that would destroy the sanity of lesser mortals. The Grey Knights are the unflinching hammer with which the Ordo Malleus smites the forces of Chaos.

Grey Knight Strike Squads often form the vanguard of an assault. They are often tasked with the capture of vital locations and key objectives, deploying by fixed teleporter to ensure a swift seizure of isolated or inaccessible locations.

Grey Knight Interceptor Squads carry personal teleporters, allowing them to 'shunt' themselves through Warp space to another location on the battlefield.

Grey Knight Purifiers are considered to be utterly incorruptible, even more-so than their brethren. In battle their cleansing flame will scour the souls of enemies nearby, consuming them from the inside out. If the flames do not take their lives, the Purifiers certainly will.

Grey Knight Purgation Squads are the support units for the Grey Knights. Their skill with ranged weapons is unmatched and, in the direst of circumstances, they can use their psychic powers to fire at unseen enemies that thought they were safe behind cover.

This multi-part plastic boxed set contains 118 components, which you can assemble as a Grey Knight Strike Squad, a Grey Knight Interceptor Squad, a Grey Knight Purifier Squad or a Grey Knight Purgation Squad. There are enough parts to make five Grey Knights with Nemesis force swords and the option to build one of them as a Justicar. There are also unit upgrades including Nemesis falchions, Nemesis force halberds, a Nemesis Daemon hammer, a Nemesis warding stave, two psycannons, a psilencer and an incinerator.

Grey Knight Terminators are ranked amongst the elite of the elite, as far above other Space Marines as the Space Marines are above the common run of humanity. Equipped with a wide variety of close combat and ranged weapons, the Grey Knight Terminators are teleported into the thick of battle, where they can catch their foes unawares and set about the task of exterminating them swiftly and efficiently.

Grey Knight Paladins are the boldest, most noble warriors in the Grey Knights Chapter. To rise to such an esteemed rank requires many years of training followed by eight quests, which will see the aspirant fight the most vicious daemonic foes with little more than his sword and his faith. Upon the completion of his quests, the new Paladin will be bound to protect one of the Chapter's Grand Masters, taking to the field of battle wherever the fighting is thickest.

This multi-part plastic boxed set contains 153 components, which you can assemble as a Grey Knight Terminator Squad or a Grey Knight Paladin Squad. There are enough parts to make five Grey Knights with Nemesis force swords and the option to build one of them as a Justicar. There are also unit upgrades including Nemesis falchions, Nemesis force halberds, a Nemesis Daemon hammer, a Nemesis warding stave, a Brotherhood Banner, Apothecary upgrades, a psycannon, a psilencer and an incinerator.

Citação :

Kaldor Draigo is the Supreme Grand Master of the Grey Knights and a warrior beyond reckoning. As a lowly Battle-Brother he banished the Daemon Prince M'kar the Reborn and he has risen steadily through the ranks to become the Grand Master of the most secretive Chapter of Space Marines. Yet ever since his battle with M'kar, Draigo has been cursed to a life within the Warp, doomed to walk within the Realm of Chaos. To remain pure when constantly assailed by Chaos shows such fortitude and personal strength that it is beyond measure. But while Draigo lives, he will prevail and one day, he will return.

E agora o suprasumo do ridiculo!!!

Citação :

The Nemesis Dreadknight is the ultimate weapon in the fight against Chaos. Taller, stronger and more heavily armoured than his brethren, the Nemesis Dreadknight was created to take on the might of Greater Daemons and Deamon Princes and destroy them utterly. While it takes many years of training to control a Dreadknight, and even more years to master it, the few pilots that do exist are some of the most honoured warriors in the Chapter. With two huge Nemesis force weapons and access to the heaviest weapons in the Grey Knight arsenal, the Dreadknight will set its sights on the most terrifying opponents and make it his mission to obliterate them entirely.

This multi-part plastic boxed set contains 103 components to assemble your Dreadknight. Included within the set are options for a Nemesis Daemon hammer, a Nemesis greatsword, a heavy incinerator, a gatling psilencer and a heavy psycannon. There are even two different heads and ball-and-socket arm joints to ensure plenty of different poses, meaning that no two Dreadknights should ever look the same.

Desculpem mas estou absolutamente... nem sei qual a palavra...

Marines que se teleportam pelo warp... um heroi humano que vive no warp... e um "transformer"?! a sério?... vou dedicar-me ao FoW...

Força então aí no Fow, na 2ª f o meu amigo nem me respondeu às minhas mensagens de um possivel jogo na 3ªf, começa-me a cheirar a medinho.

Por acaso acho o modelo do Dreadknight espectacular...

eu também acho fixe, só não acho que seja 40k. Mais parece algo tirado de um anime. Se ainda fosse um pseudo titan de tau, para apocalipse ou coisa do género.

é que o piloto é um terminator, agora imaginem o tamanho da coisa! é ridiculo... o que aconteceu ao ar gótico e decadente do império?

Basicamente eu acho que os grey knights são aqueles caçadores de Demonios,se o principal meio de viajar dos demonios é o warp,para mim faz sentido que os grey knights andem pelo warp a procura dos ditos.

Sobre o "Dreadnought" já os witch hunters tem aquele manhoso,acho que a ideia deles foi conseguir essa aproximação.Afinal são duas facções estremamente identicas.

Concordo absolutamente com o Didelet, esta coisa tirada do maior pesadelo da Manga não tem lugar num catálogo de Space Marines.
A GW supreende-nos com os melhor e o pior e este é mesmo o pior.

Tamanho das espadas dos terminators comparativamente com um space marine normal

tamanho da espada do dreadknight

um dreadknight ao pé de um daemon prince dos novos de plástico

Os homens afinal abusaram uma bequinha...

Curiosamente não me faz muita confusão. Em primeiro lugar estamos a falar de gajos cujas funções incluem ir bater em greater daemons e daemon princes com uma periodicidade regular. Se fosse eu, certificava-me que tinha algo maior que eles...

De qq modo, aquilo não me parece ser muito futurista. É uma evolução do penitent engine, adaptado a marines mas sem as cenas tecnológicas associadas a Tau ou Eldar. Não é tão caixotão como um dreadnought, mas presumo que pela fluff seja um design relativamente recente.

E aquilo tem um aspecto muito poderoso...
