Pros
- The host prefers the look of the 3D printed Primaris-scaled proxies over the older Games Workshop sculpts.
- The process of kitbashing and painting the models was enjoyable and quick.
- The angular aesthetics of the Puppets War sculpts are highly preferred.
- The game is suitable for campaign play with advancing teams.
- 3D printed bodies and weapons make it easy to build a decent-sized army.
- The wrist-mounted Stormbolters on the proxies look better than the GW ones.
Cons
- The original Grey Knight sculpts are old, stubby, and proportionally worse than newer models.
- The heads on the Puppets War proxies reminded the host of Iron Man.
- The shoulder pads with books on the Puppets War proxies were a bit too much overkill.
- Purchasing 3D printed bodies may require buying GW heads and shoulder pads separately on eBay.

Quotes (from this video)
- He's just a little guy, you know what I mean? like he he has short little legs and stubby little arms and the and the hammer looks like absolutely ridiculous in his grip
- The Grey Knights are some of the oldest Space Marine sculpts that are still for sale.
- I found I really prefer big angular bulky power armor over like smooth rounded power armor.
- I'm really happy with how they turned out. I like them so much better than the current Games Workshop sculpts.
- The STL community makes the cool stuff yet again.
