Step-By-Step Black Legion Daemon Prince

So this buddy has been sitting in my cabinets for a while.  I built him up before the new CSM codex, and afterwards, came to the conclusion that there was no place for him in the army :(

So into the cabinet he went, unpainted, while I focused on collecting and assembling what would make a good army.  

Now that I'm not focusing on armies as much, I looked into my model cabinet and saw all these great models with a renewed motivation.  I didn't care if they were viable in-game or not, I liked the models and dammit, I was going to paint them.

So, let's do a step-by-step on this model...

Space Marine Centurion War-Suits

So much of what made Warhammer 40K compelling to me was the fluff/setting.  The models are cool, sure, but I got involved back in 2nd edition; The models were OK then, but not great.  It was the fluff that held shit together, that made me want to act out battles between squads of stoic Dark Angels and a lithe and deadly strike-force of Eldar.  There was a serious cool-factor to the idea of that universe: Humanity in a technological dark age, having lost technology they once had, superstition and mysticism prevailing, the empire crumbling under the weight of bureaucracy...

Finished CCC Yellowjackets Breacher

With that, I have completed all 7 of the CCC Yellowjackets squad.  This guy is the most recent addition of the team, apparently his ability is to open a base-width hole in any fortification/wall.  Sounds cool, but situational at best.

That was fast

Wow, it's been 2 days since Mighty No. 9 was put up on Kickstarter as a "spiritual successor to Mega Man."  Their goal is set at $900,000.  The goal has already been surpassed.  2 days!  That's insanity.

I'm definitely excited to see how this game turns out, it looks incredibly fun, especially the mentioned mechanic of swapping out parts for others, i.e. swapping out legs for tank treads so you can cross spikes.  If done right, this could be an amazingly fun and challenging game.
