O God the (Xmas) Aftermath..

2012 Games Day Limited Edition Model, YESSS!

Well, Xmas was lovely, I finally have my 1750 Grey Knight army fully put together and i even got 3 games in with them!  I managed to win every one including a fairly ridiculous trouncing against a friend's Pirate Orks, but i feel the army is pretty balanced really, mean yes, but it definitely has exploitable weaknesses, i'll have more pics up as i get parts finished!

Anyway, the real meat of this post is the picture to the left, i was perusing the geeky corner of the internet and saw this, i'm gobsmacked.

As a staunch Marine player for quite a few years and having got into the hobby with 2nd edition 40k this model is a dream come true, i absolutely have to have one, or three.  God knows i would paint them all!  The Sculpting looks glorious, and after a few years' (sadly) worth of what i felt to be sub-par models this one brings the sexy back with a mega-ton punch. 

This is the kind of stuff that should be released as limited edition from Games Workshop, the kind that sets modeller's brains into a feral need-rage.  Or maybe that's just me.

Either way i have to have him.
