Play as the Grey Knights in this fast-paced turn-based tactical RPG!

^ This is what the relic Fury of Deimos must look like!

And I'm pretty sure Syama Pedersen (the Astartes creator) worked on this trailer!

 

To think, the first official cinematic renderings of Grey Knight Terminators is of the style and quality as the Astartes Project...? So amazing!

[Grotsmasha]

Anyone play the old Chaos Gate, ahhhhhh the memories

[Icosiel]

I am insanely hyped about this.

[Skywrath]

Oh.. my.. Emperor. Shut up and take my money! *insert high-pitched noises here*

Promising. Look forward to learning more.

 

Video games don't appeal to me the same way TT does. But I'd consider this one.

Although not at detailed because they were made from pewter. But all older metal grey knights had the more reasonably sized bolter, with belt feed.

I much preferred that design to the now current fay, ugly and blocky design. But I suppose the belt feeds are easier to model on monopose, which nobody wants.

Aww man when the halberds spark into life! That's so sick

No doubt he was inspired by the older models. I wouldn't be surprised if he some of those models for his own collection.

 

The description also says you can choose powerful classes to form your own personalised squad, so any early speculations on the possible classes?

 

From our GK units, I'd speciate maybe some of the following inspired classes:

- Battle-Brother Terminator (standard all-rounder)

- Special Weapons Terminator (heavy weapons specialist)

- Chaplain (squad buff / enemy de-buff specialist)

- Apothecary (medic / healing specialist)

- Librarian (psychic / spells specialist)

- Tech-Marine(tech / hacking specialist)

[Gnomeo]

Maybe brotherhood champion, purifier, ancient,

[Waking Dreamer]

^ Brotherhood Champion would indeed be an awesome close combat specialist!

 

I can see him being locked into the Force Sword, but he could have aggro abilities along with enhanced defensive and offensive traits using his sword stances.

I believe it is not a belt fed stormbolter. I think it is a "normal" type of GK wrist mounted storm bolter, with the blocky magazine, and the part of video is the artist's view how empty magazines are being refilled in armory - by automated belt fed system.

There are no belts visible in the last part of video where they kneel and spark their halberds

 

[Waking Dreamer]

^ Interesting observation. The scene does follow the GK picking up his halberd, so it could be him in their armoury, and his storm bolter being reloaded automatically as you say.

 

I'm trying to find some pics of metal GK terminators to see how their storm bolter was designed. Either way, next time I'm buying bits, I'm gonna try and convert my existing Brother Captains / GMs with a belt fed storm bolter...as it would make them standout from the other GK terminator models.

[Captain Antargo]

Gimme! Looking forward to it! I wonder what type of game it will be though... Spacehulk: Deathwing maybe? Because that would be epic!

[Waking Dreamer]

^ Well it's a turn-based games, so it won't be a first-person shooter like Deathwing.

 

It would be more closer to XCOM but with probably less or no base / resource management. For recent games maybe like Gears Tactics.

More squad upgrading and no base upgrading.

yy. also - if you have a belt fed storm bolter (or any gun) you then dont need a magazine in between the belt and gun :). belt is enough.

offtopic - for converting termies to stand out as BC or GM or simply Paladin - cloaks and tabards add a "heroic" wibe.  Exo lord cloaks from Anvil Industries and Heavy Veteran Robes from Titanforge are great. if interested, can send you pics

Why do I get the feeling that terminator armour actually has a kneel setting.
