Hey again,
It took me bit longer to prepare anything worthy posting (longer then I expected that is) but I'm just so glad I can see it standing in the glass case finally.
The star of this post is oldie Daemon prince of Slaanesh.
Or Khorne - model fits both options in my opinion.
As almost always there's a story behind the model:
this one is a piece I've seen in the very first WD I got back days, when Middlehammer was just on the top. New Chaos rulebook was being released bringing Daemons army.
Back days full metal army was totally out of my reach but just when the daemon gazed upon me from White Dwarf page I've been tained by Evil and knew one day I'll get it painted.
And that very day came just came.
Nowdays most stuff being released is hi-tech placcy.
Fuck it. That's just not my cup of tea.
But few months back I've spotted auction where someone was selling painted oldschool piece, which actually arrived to my place few days later...
Model was broken to pieces and spent quite a long time marinating in breaks fluid so whole paint came off nicely. Must say I was so hyped I finally got the model I didn't notice there was claw arm missing...
Too bad, because that piece is just sooo Slaanesh'y.
But that wasn't the only thing I've noticed while drilling and assembling the model again:
I've noticed the metal it's made of was just much harder to drill compared to metal models assembled ever before.
Did some research and it turned out the piece I got was most probably a recast...
I've seen recasted resin models on market but metals?
Ok, it's old model and available only second-hand but if it really is knock off the fuck who casted if could be at least decent enough to cast the missing arm as well...
Nevermind.
The model is painted and I am glad so see it done. There are still some Chaos models waiting in the bucket of shame, which one day might leave it and form Mordheim warband.
Scale shot:
this bad boy would a a BLAST in Warmaster game! Truely daemonic entity!
And just if anyone's interested: here's what complete model (arm!) should look like:
