It is indeed but at least what's left is a fully playable force. To build this you would need to buy 2x Bladeguard Vet kits and 1x GK Paladins. The remaining items from the Strike Squads, Intercessors and Hell blasters can probably be picked up individually to keep costs down.

I'm very glad that GW seems to have dropped the idea that all marines need to be primarisified and realized that what they really needed was some upscalling. That new GK character they've shown is great, now they need to do the strike and paladin update and we are good.

@@DerSisch So.... like the outdated Grey Knights right? Ngl, its pretty tyring to have people constantly jump on that lazy "they shouldn't do any marines now" just because they have pumped up a bunch of garbage primaris shit that nobody asked for. How exactly did that impact the Grey Knights in ANY way? Spoiler : it didn't. And before some smartass try to pull the usual "huuur you are just a space marine main", I'm not. I dont have any marine army, I'm mostly a chaos, necrons and nyd player, and that still doesn't prevent me from pointing out the honest truth : The grey knights look outdated as shit and updating their whole range would literally be just printing 2 updated kits!

That's my main goal with these videos, I just want to show people that with a few small tweaks you can easily create some unique looking forces.
I use Dark Angel Vets and Deathwing Knights respectively to create my 'grey knights' for Kill Team as Dark Angel Librarians. As long as their weapons are all Grey Knights and they're the same height and base size, it's all good.

@@PeteTheWargamer I have an idea! What color do you never use? Make that color their primary, then use the complementary as an accent color, and then you just need one more warm cold contrasting color to create a popping scheme. Big question. Would you do them ubber grimdark? Or an eavy metal style? I think that the shinny more plasticy armour looks more fitting for tau. Instead of chipped rusty metal underneath.

@@jakeg-shep It's only on the MK8, an armor that was never in very large production, and even then, the ball is significantly smaller.

These look amazing!!! Chaos kill team next!!
Looking amazing, as always. Only "issue" for me is the fact, that every one of them has one scabbard, regardless of whether the grey knight has none, one or even two swords. But besides this little pickiness on my behalf it's a really great conversion 👍👍👍

Tbf the scabbards on the charecters that aren't holding swords have the swords in them, but there are a couple with a sword and no scabbord. Those scabbords are so big though I don't blame him.
Amazing job as always! Would love to see you make an Eldar Kill team. Since the eldar models are quite old you could make good use of different 3rd party bits to make something really unique
Keep the Kill Teams coming. Would be kool to see you cover each Faction.
Grey Knights are my favorite. I love how chunky and detailed these are. That huge tome is such a nice touch.

I love watching you do kitbashes, especially the kill teams. It's so inspiring. You're a primary reason that I started kitbashing a T'au Pathfinder kill team. I especially love that you treat every video like it's someone's first tutorial. It really adds a lot to the feel of the videos and means that no matter when someone finds you, they'll be sure to learn techniques that are useful.
I'm glad to see the 666th Chapter on this channel.
I’m glad to see someone is making the Grey Knights look as good on the tabletop as they are in the lore. These proportions look MUCH better.

I watch this video as hobby therapy. I love the intent and complexity, and how it equates to such a beautiful solution.
This is something I just love about kill team. More than ever, it's about YOUR dudes. You can customize and invest into them, each losses will be felt, each models will tell a story
I would love to see an Ork kill team. Lots of potential for kitbashing and custom pieces - especially with Mega Nobz.
I've heard a lot of people who suggested Gaunts Ghosts would make a good killteam when those models came out. I'm not suggesting you do Gaunt obviously, it just got a kit. But maybe a cool Imperial Guard Killteam. Proper commandos style. And not a standard cadian or krieg team. Maybe a more unusual regiment or a brand new custom one.

You've utterly spoiled us by putting all this in one video, bravo!
Thank you! I have been waiting for a good grey knight kitbash video for a long time. Gonna get started on my kill team
Honestly, the chunkier proportions here kinda make these guys look more like regular Space Marines as depicted in most of the artwork. It's a neat look, I really like it!
OMG, they are looking awesome on the preview! Can't wait to see them )
The fact that you don't even subassemble the heads makes my inner painter twitch but the results are fantastic man! Well done!
Grey knights were my first army, great to see them getting some love.
These look great, love the one tearing up his base with psychic power.
More, more!!! You are the best! Do videos for the painting too please!
This is your best work yet. I'm in awe.
Very nice! I do feel like the bare headed members, the squad leader especially, have inherited a bit of "Termi hunch" from the torsos, tho...

oh my goodness gracious they look soo good!
You had me worried for a minute there with the terminator vents, glad you took the step to get powerpacks on there it makes a huge difference. For me still a little terminatory but just enough to say they aren't love them. Perfect kill team, hope you do more teams like this an absolute joy to watch and very inspiring.
