Funny they should be included with the Grey Knights.
not as funny as being able to take 20+ Daemonhosts in a grey knight army
Anyway, the model's alright. good inspiration for 54mm, especially that fabricator pack on the back
EDIT: £7.70? for ONE 28mm jokaero? yeesh.
While the model is okay I don't think they should have done it.
It was better when they where creatures shrouded in mistery, now everybody with a grey knight army is going to have one.
I really don't see the connection, an army of puritan marines using an alien henchman to fight daemons ?????
I liked it better when they made ordo related codex, this really sound like grox manure
I like it, though for some reason I've always though they had blue fur.
On a simillar note I'm liking the DE Clawed fiend thats also up for advance order. It's been a long while since I've bought anything from GW and the prices seem to have gone up way beyond inflation and to have weird numbers of pence (I didn't know they stopped selling everything in whole pounds).

VAT change. This is GW, so they weren't just going to take that as a hit in their profit margins.

You think thats bad, its £20.50 for 5 Grey Knight models. You wanna start a new army... get deeper pockets.

i don't get the whole tech backpack glued to the back, weren't Jokaero supposed to look like normal orang's but with a natural ability to make anything out of duct-tape, 4 spoons and a paperclip?
its worth noting that army-list-wise they're part of the Inquisitorial Henchmen unit, similar to This Discussion (http://www.the-conclave.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=909.msg11896#msg11896)?

Yes, but that was incredibly silly the moment they wrote it, even back in the 80s. I love the new mini! I think it's great to see a classic miniature updated by modern sculptors and with a vision that - for the 41st Millennium - is substantially more consistent with logic.

More amusing that with Coteaz you can take 40 Jokaero in a 1500pts force
And that once per turn they can change their digi weapons into either a las cannon/heavy melta/heavy flamer
My Local GW Manager has been sculting an army of them for their inter store GK tournament
that souns like a force to be recconed with, i wonder what armour save they have

I've already heard of this being dubbed the "Curious George" army. Whether that sticks is another matter entirely...
I still think the model will seriously confuse Pratchett fans; surely this is a Librarian?!
I'm not that familiar with their background. That said, I can't really see how they fit in with the Grey Knights, but there we go...

5+ Invulnerable
You'd think I have the book sitting right next to me wouldn't you?
Well you'd be right I'm borrowing my local stores for the campaign they're running so I can add 250 pts to my marines
As i renember, the codex was designed as a grey knights codex first and foremost, but it is not soley that army, it allowes you to play with an entire inquisitorial army if you so wish, but i think is's sad that storm troopers are not alternative troops. Though seeing GK termies in the troops is cool
Coteaz allows you to take Inquisitorial Henchmen as troops hence the 40 strong space chimp force,
If memory serves (Codex is at home) Henchmen can consist of 10 man strom trooper squads etc etc

And with Coteaz included, you already have a dude in yellow to lead them.
Anyway, not to be a pain, but what relevance does all this banter about their 40k rules really have to do with Inquisitor? I think most of us know that translating a 40k statline into an Inquisitor statline doesn't really work very well, so I dunno if it has any real bearing on the Inquisitor game as a whole.
