I have been after a unit of Grey Knights Terminators for a while, to add to my Imperial Agents roster. However, one thing that was holding me back was that I was expecting a range update, I still am but I got fed up of waiting. I decided however, that I would preempt things a little and gave the termies a bit of surgery when I built them.
The standard termies were always on the short side and so I knew a little bit of height adjustment was going to be needed, so I started off with a bit of plasitcard at the waist. I could have gone with green stuff or similar on to of the legs but decided to add it to the actual legs themselves. I did this by cutting of the top ball joint, sticking it to a piece of plastic are and then cutting it out and adding it back on.
I did this to all the legs and while it did cause a couple of issues when adding the torso on, such as getting in the way of some of the hanging details, it was easily dealt with.
As you can see, against the black primed bodies the whole card stands out, however, once it's all painted up, I doubt it will show at all.
I built the models to have all the toys, as this squad is going to join an inquisitor, it's got to be tooled up for all the jobs!
The Sgt has the old warding staff, sort of as a symbol of office alongside the tabard.
The apothecary model has the spear and stabby thing (nartheciun) , and the standard bearer is proudly carrying the unit standard.
The last two are hammer man, the big hitter of the unit and the sword wielding heavy, with Psilencer, to support the storm bolters.
I could have gone with the psycannon, or even Incinerator, to give some extra anti-light armour \ elites or for horde clearing, and these guys are going to be going after infantry but mostly they are going to be sitting holding an objective or just being a pain in the enemy rear, so volume of fire is better than strength.
I am looking forward to trying these out at some point in the distant when I actually get a game in!
