I'm glad to see it looks like they did not opt to go the route they went with the Space Wolves marines and change how the torso and heads connect together. Look at the bottom right of the sprue, looks like great conversion potential for Space Marine plastic power weapons for scouts.

I think it helps explain a little bit how a 8 or even 9 foot tall Space Marine can fight a 25 foot tall Blood Thirster.
To each their own I guess but holy crap am I excited about these guys.

On the bright side, each model costs so many points that you shouldn't have to buy too many.
And I agree that the Dreadknight looks badass.

And I agree that the Dreadknight looks badass. the fact that theres more power armour arms with melee weapons in hand instead of triggers is fantastic as far as conversions go... but the way the backpacks have the incense burners on top like on the gw page looks horrible

There has got to be a second sprue for the PAGK. I see the staves and swards and hope to see arms with Psycannons and Incinerators. There are also no Halberds dang it but I am releived that there are not enough legs which means a second sprue.
I wonder if you will build purifiers, strike, and purgation squads out of the same box set?

The dreadknight looks kinda like poop. Also, why did they do away with the nice compact storm bolter arms? they kinda look stupid with mags in them now.

I need 9 boxes of the GK. After looking at the GW site it looks like this will be the model for Purgation, Strike, and Purifiers.
Now to come up with the paint scheme.....

im so pumped for grey knights i like all the models(yes im in the minority with the dreadknight)
although i will admit i seen a pic of the dreadknight with armour covering the legs of the pilot and i think it helps it alot imho!!
the only other thing as far as dislikes is the MAGS on the stormbolters!! although i think i know how i may resolve that..
and i dont know if anyone has heard of it but i recently ordered and received some instant-mold compound and ive already successfully duplicated inquisition rhino/landraider doors/fronts from FW, and im ecstatic over the fact ill be able to make all the halberd/swords/psycannons((purgation squad))/warding staves...etc now if only there was a way to buy greenstuff in bulk lol
