Grey Knights Post 2: I am even more disappoint...

So I did make it in to my local GW on Friday morning (before I went to record foley for 8 hours.)

They had received their black box and I proceeded to plunder the contents.

Inside I found the codex (thank god) a squad of Terminators which the redshirt had already assembled and the dreadknight which sat untouched on its sprue. No power armor grey knights! Seriously guys? The staple of the release is missing? Well this didn't start off well.

Grey Knights: I am disappoint.

Wow. So the new Grey Knight models are up for advance order on the GW site. I was looking forward to this for a LONG time.

I've been a fan of the Grey Knights for a few years now and had started an army of my own. Ive currently got about 15 power armor grey knights, a grand master and a land raider. I had some inquisitorial stormtroopers in a rhino but they seem to have been booted (yes I can take them as henchmen but I am not impressed.) Not a huge army by any means but I've put my time into it and had fun with it on the table.

Let me start with this: I am disappointed.

WIP: Salamander Terminators

As promised here is the current status of my Salamanders Project.

To review, since I haven't said anything about it on here yet:

Using the Space Wolves codex (I know, I know give me a break. It's the only way I can fit this many heroes into the list at the moment.) The army is 1750 points consisting of 17 men and 2 droppods.

WIP: Njall Stormcaller

Spent Sunday at my airbrush buddy's place and got the armor color down on this guy and nearly my entire Salamander's project.

Can't decide if this is first order of business or if I'll do the scale cloaks for the Sallys first.

WIP shots of some of the sallys to follow.

Also, if anyone cares this is Shadow Grey worked up to Space Wolves Grey in 3 steps.

Quick Review #4: Unknown

I went into this movie with a bunch of friends expecting Taken. I loved Taken, the boys and I got entirely too overstimulated at Liam Neeson punching France in the throat. It was a revenge journey by a man who has all the tools in the shed to complete it with.

Unknown was not Taken.

I also wasn't disappointed.

Unknown was a psychological drama with bitchin car chases (a-la Bourne) some excellent misdirection and a completely appropriate ending. The film uses perfectly plausible explanations to hide the truth and the truth to mislead you into thinking something else. I have to say I found myself removed from the story a couple times but when I did I was able to appreciate the cinematography of Flavio Labiano.

All in all, a surprisingly enjoyable viewing when I was expecting full tilt throat punching.

3.5/5
