Grey Knights faction overview
The Grey Knights are the Emperor's Daemonhunters — a secret Chapter of Space Marine psykers, every member a Librarian. Their range is small but elite: Strike Squads, Paladins, Terminators, Dreadknights and named Grand Masters and Inquisitors.
Buying advice for second-hand collectors
Grey Knight kits are stable — the Terminator and Strike Squad plastics from the 2011 refresh remain current. Dreadknights are the flagship kit. Watch for missing nemesis force halberd/sword option sprues in loose lots.
Collecting & army-building advice
Silver armour is the scheme — Leadbelcher base, Nuln Oil wash, Stormhost Silver edge highlight, with Retributor Gold trim. Low model count (often 25–35 models in a 2,000-point list) makes Grey Knights one of the fastest armies to paint to a high standard.
