Grey Knights are the last stand against the greatest enemy of the emporium, Chaos. Rumored to have the Geneseed of the Emperor himself, these warriors are without a doubt the greatest of all the Space Marines. And yet in all of there greatness mankind knows nothing of them for they are the fighting force, the defenders of the Inquisition, Ordo Malleus.
Like many Space Marine chapters the Grey Knights recruit from other worlds, to be trained to fight the Spawns of Chaos. But unlike other chapters the every Grey Knight is a psyker, this ability being the strongest defense against Chaos. Through rigurous training all Grey Knights have there minds wiped of all of there memories and experiences before reaching Knighthood and receiving the sacred power armor.
What does it mean to be a Grey Knight? It means that you are the only and last defense against the fall of the Empire. It means that no matter the odds you can not, and will not fail in your duties. It means that the sacrifice of yourself or a brother at arm to defend mankind is the greatest thing you will ever do.
On paper a Grey Knight should be stronger, tougher, better, and of course more expensive then any other chapter out there. A Grey Knight smiles and laughs in the face of the Daemons that would make other Chapter Marines wet there armor. Blood Angels ask their Chaplains to check the closet before they go to bed. Grey Knights spit in the closet and yell "Come get SOME!"
Seeing as how most of all the other chapters have received some updating, I thought it would be fun to put out there what I think a Grey Knight should look like on paper.
