Grey Knights Strike Squad Plastic Kit by Games Workshop - Warhammer 40K Tabletop Miniatures for Painting & Wargaming

If you're the type of person who enjoys painting and detailing models as much as you enjoy actually playing the tabletop wargame, then these have got to be *the* coolest default Troops unit of any faction, with their intricate mix of SciFi, medieval, and religious trappings. The models are incredibly detailed, with engraved text on the Justicar's pauldrons, as well as on the chest and leg armor of all 10, and a variety of intricate textures and accessories. The different helmets are relatively unique, and each backpack, chest plate, and leg set has different words/symbols and slightly different accessories, adding a lot of individual personality considering it's a basic unit that can only survive 1 Wound per model. Different arm/weapon type/backpack options allow for a wealth of customization; the models can also function as Interceptors, Purifiers, or Purgators, and you can choose between a sword, halberd, pair of falchions, hammer, or Staff of Warding depending on the squad's intended function within your army. ...You might want to learn how to magnetize the weapons and backpacks.On the gameplay side, Grey Knights fans are all still patiently waiting for their 9th Edition Codex (soon?); maybe these guys will go up to 2W and Falchions will go back down in cost and we'll see a lot more of them, or maybe the meta will continue to favor filling out your minimum troop requirement with Terminators and this box will remain more popular among lore fans, hobbyists, and kill team players than tournament competitors.Biggest complaint I have is the price point for 40k in general, but Amazon sells cheaper than Games Workshop at least.
