I haven't created an army just because I 'wanted to' in a very long time.
In fact, the last one was my pre-Heresy Istvaan III loyalists.
Everything I've done since has made concessions to competitiveness.
Three things pushed me into this, in reverse order;
The novel...it brought me back into the Horus Heresy universe, as the last two I read disappointed.
Tim Wright...watching him play, enjoy, and do well with a 'toolbox' Chaos Space Marine army at my last RTT (which will shortly have its own blog entry). He just ENJOYED himself too much for me to not re-evaluate excessive competitive builds to the exclusion of the original fun.
Ian V... 'nuff said.
So,
Argel Tal (and soon, the Gal Vorbak)
So he begins, with his 'mini-me'...
Slow progress...
Getting there...
The Prince is looking really good so far. Very Nice shading on all the flesh areas and red armor areas.
ReplyDeleteI like the green chaos symbol on the shoulder pad...very good contrast with the red.
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually go for red/green...but in this case it was appropriate.
I need to bring the flesh transforming into bone on the backpack more to light, though it shows poorly on my Droid phone.
I'm going to shelf him for a bit, to work on the Gal Vorbak...that will probably give me the direction I need to guide the basing.
Need to find one of the Chaos Terminator Lord chaos-star basing bits that I haven't used, I think it will go well on Argel's base.
