The Ordo Hereticus are the Witch Hunters, those would would seek out and kill rogue psykers and other witches, and their Inquisitors represent this well. The Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor has plenty of wargear options to represent this in addition to options open to all Inquisitors.

Each of the three major Ordos of the Inquisition have an HQ choice (along with a special character) in the Grey Knight's codex to represent them. While all three are similar, they do have different choices and thus, I'll cover them in separate (but shorter) posts. First, I'll start out with the Ordo Malleus.

Surprisingly enough, I'm still alive! I just wanted to wish any readers out there a great holiday season. No Grey Knight with a Santa hat this year, as I'm on my cell phone, but there's always next year for my dream photoshop of a Dreadknight Santa Claus.

Happy Holidays everyone! Best of luck with the hobby side with all those great gifts you were hoping to receive.

Xethik here with the next part (delayed quite a bit by college) of the unit review of the new Grey Knights codex. This article is focusing on the Brotherhood Champion, his role in an army, and how to use him.

Xethik here with part 2 of the Grey Knight unit review. This time, the Grey Knight Librarian, master of psychic powers in the Grey Knight army, is up. Again, the goal of this article is to give you an idea when to take a Librarian, how to use him, and how to gear him.

Xethik here with the first part of a new series based on reviewing the units in the Grey Knights codex. The goal here is to give an idea of when you would want to take him from a gaming stand-point and how to gear him if you were to.

Hey everyone. There were some comments concerning my post yesterday and I decided that I would do another, quick, post to wrap things up rather than try to fit them in the comments section. I hope no one minds.
I'm going to start by quoting myself from the comments section of the post and then work from there. Please comment away as I hope to clear this up for everyone, including myself. I'll make edits upon the original once I come to an agreeable consensus.

Hey there, Xethik with part two of three of the wound allocation series. In this part I'm going to hopefully show you how to use wound allocation to your own advantage, given different scenarios and keeping different things in mind. To start, we'll take the same scenario I used last time.

Hey everyone, Xethik here with some FAQ overviews. Please note that these are my opinions, and are not more "correct" or worth more than anyone elses. You can kind the new Grey Knight FAQ here and the new rulebook FAQ here. The quotes will be in italics.

Hey everyone, Xethik here with some news. The Grey Knight FAQ was released this morning, which can be viewed here:

I don't have time to look at it myself right this moment, but I will be doing a complete rundown tomorrow afternoon. Until then, take it apart yourselves.
EDIT: Fixed a typo. That's what I get for blogging at work!

Hey there everyone, Xethik here with part one of three of a guide to wound allocation. For most experienced players, I don't think this will be that new, but for new players or players that have shied away from this for a while I have a feeling this may be massively helpful. This part is just going to be the basics of wound allocation, the abuse and disruption of it will be later articles. So, let's get started.

Just some quick updates for anyone who cares. I promise I'll get some serious posts up, any day now! I actually am working an article set on Wound Allocation, and I plan on emailing some of that to Fritz in a day or two, so that should be popping up soon. I also have put some thought into a Grey Knight codex review, I just have to put things to paper (or digital paper). Without further delay, here are some said updates.

Grey Knight players have started receiving some answers about some big codex questions. From what it looks like, someone spent the time to email GW-AU for answers about the new codex, which can be found here. For convenience's sake, I'm going to be pasting this on my blog for reference, but all of it comes from the poster on the Bolter and Chainsword post. Here they come:

(Grey Knight Grand Master conversion I'm working on. Moving arms/hands I think)

Well, after reflecting on the list and slamming my head between what I want and what is under 4,000 points, I came up with yet another list. Big (and possibly only...) changes are dropping of the Grand Master and Land Raider for more Purifiers and Dreadnoughts. I also swapped the Purifier Rhino for a Razorback. I'll explain a bit more in just a moment. Here's the list.

Hey readers,
Still alive, and I've done a couple segments of my upcoming unit review for the new codex on paper, but I've been much too busy to blog. With finals coming up and a week-long trip I'm going on, I won't be blogging for a bit longer. But once mid-May rolls around, I plan on being much more active (on Fritz's blog, too) and hopefully painting more than ever. Just wanted to give everyone a head's up I'm still alive.
I hope everyone is having a blast with the new Grey Knight codex,
Xethik

(From Fritz's blog. You can find this same post there!)

Hey all, Xethik from the Grey Knights blog here with some suggestions for everyone out there hoping to start up a Grey Knight army. I will not be going into detailed list building, but I will be touching upon different weapon and squad layouts that have really peaked my interest and even some small tactics here and there.

Hey everyone, Xethik here with a list of my own. I've been a bit too busy to get to deep into the new codex, but to say the least I'm very excited. I'm sure most readers will have some ideas of their own or have seen some other bloggers post their lists, but I haven't seen much like this list I'm messing around with. It isn't the most competitive (as those seem to be spamming Coteaz+Henchmen, sadly) and I didn't really get into anything too new, so I will be posting up some more lists soon, I hope. Anyways, onto the list.

(All images belong to Games Workshop. I hold no rights)

Well, as most of you know, Games Workshop has put up the advance order for all Grey Knights. They also split a lot of previous Inquisitor retinue packs into individual blisters so that you can grab what you need instead of hunting on eBay. Smart move on their part, as they probably also make a bit more.

The cover art on what I think we all hope is the best codex Games Workshop has ever dreamed of. That's right, this is the Grey Knights cover for the new codex, apparently showing up at random stores in this past day. Along with it are coming the kits. A bit too expensive, as always, but I'm sure with reason! Even in blurry pictures these models are beautiful. Be sure to read more to see prices and releases, from Bolter and Chainsword.

(Thanks Google Translate!)

Well, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. At least for Germany (where this was taken from, hence the translation), Grey Knights will be available for preview on the 25th. Rumors have it that on the 9th of March, Games Workshop stores will be receiving the black box, which feels a bit early for this. Perhaps it is just on-time, I'm sure others know more than I. So mark up your calendars, and be sure to scour the codex for every detail before it is officially released. A bit more after the break...
