The world shook violently from the impact of its new visitor - standing tall, taller than any structure those on the world had ever witnessed. Up past the vast crimson and gold ceramite walls that glistened in the setting sun those below would have been forgiven for thinking it had perhaps been a ship or some other form of manmade construction. Whilst they were not technically wrong those further away saw truly what it is that stood before them…
A scout, in the fields approaching the Hive saw the unexpected visitor for all their glory - standing tall in space marine terminator armour belonging to the Grey Knight Chapter was a being so immense, so powerful and so mind bogglingly huge it defied all logic and nearly broke the scouts mind.
As they stared up past the thickly armoured boots, whose soles stood taller than even the planets mightiest Hivecity, past the even more thickly armoured and ornately designed legs and torso and through the clouds they managed to gaze into the face of the planetary scale invader and saw not the typical human clad in that legendary armour - but a creature not unlike that of ancient Holy Terran myth - a Dragon, whose glowing blue eyes surveyed the world below with an indifference that chilled the blood of any onlooker and enforced a sense of overwhelming dread and hopelessness.
The world shook as he lifted his legs, the act in itself causing massive tectonic shifts in the land below and leaving a deeply scarring imprint into the planet's crust many miles deep. The sound of hydraulics and plates rubbing against one another echoed across the land and blew out the eardrums of those close to him from the sheer sound and air movements from the simple motion.
He had found his target - the Hivecity which would have been many miles away from his landing point - but for him, a simple step away.
Bringing his heel down behind it and shaking the world for many miles, his gaze cast downwards and locked on his target, ensuring those who could see him knew he was aware of them and his actions and movements were more than chance - they were deliberate and measured.
The shadow of those grand and powerful armoured boots hovered above the Hivecity, ecliposing it in darkness as soil and debris rained down on those below - motes of dust to the mightily armour clad dragon but Spire sized chunks to the mites below which caused massive damage in its own right, crushing building and inhabitant alike..
As it descended he paused for a moment, the screams and cries of panic from below echoing up to his ears, savouring the sounds his presence had caused and knowing that there was nothing they could do to stop him as he deliberately and slowly allowed his armoured boot to begin lowering again on top of the doomed Hive.
The first victims were the tallest Spires which were reserved for the planet's most powerful and elite. The richest noble families were the first to taste the might of the ceramite sole, their structures collapsed and snapped like twigs, shattering as stone and metal rubble rain down on those below, sparking fire and even more chaos for the citizens in the lower quarters who could only stare up and pray, pray that their end would be quick, that the Emperor would protect, that it was all just a terrible nightmare they would wake up from...this was not their fate however as the lights began to go out as the Hive crumbled and soon to be one of many new craters that would dominate this worlds surface as the power armoured dragon journeyed across its surface - heralding his arrival to those of this universe and ensuring they knew what awaited those who would defy his will - and using their own weapons to do so.
So this is a dream come true - I have been wanting to get a Grey Knight 40K macro piece for some time now and have never been able to find the right person who I feel would make it come to life in the right way.
Then enters Pave who has not just nailed the look and feel I was looking for but has really nailed the sense of scale and size of the Power Armoured Dragon - and the signature PA of the Grey Knights Chapter (Which is just so good!).
I like to think Jared came across the 40K universe and equally fell in love with the chunky and powerful armour of the Imperium of Man's Adeptes Astartes, especially that of the Grey Knights. Though he has made some minor modifications to allow for some personal touches it is still very much its standard pattern.
I also wouldn’t feel too bad for the poor world he is about to massacre...they are likely heretics, servants of chaos, Daemon worshippers and other forms of nasty folk the universe could certainly do without!

Indeed! These servants of chaos will know no mercy from him!
"Corruption, a vial taint to plague this holy ground belonging to the golden throne! I offer you my boot, for it is better than your vial kind deserve, yet the Emperor is merciful. I am NOT! You have cast away his mercy, blackened his kindness and forsworn your sacred duty. Your end is the only grace you may offer him! But know foul betrayers! When you vanish into the void it is not to his side you go! You lowest of the low, weakest of the glorious human race fly to your wicked gods, weak pathetic creatures that will toy and torture you till our Emperor's holy light come to cleanse even their evil! You are forgotten, you are unwanted, and you are delivered his justice. For the Emperor, and for every soul you damned by your weakness. I carry our this! EXTERMINATUS! *CRUSH!* .... ..... .... ... Completion of Exterminatus 034347 Hive world -REDACTED-
