Small Update

I have decided again to have a brief mix-up from my two primary armies by adding to my pre-existing eldar army. So yesterday I went out and purchase a box of the new Dire Avenger models to see how they differ from my older models.

I must admit that they are quite impressive. a nice number of bits and with a littlecutting here and there, they can be made into some quite impressive models that look as graceful and as swift as eldar are supposed to be.

The following 2 pictures are of my 2 Dire Avenger Exarchs I quickly mashed together.

the following are two models I am really chuffed I managed to pick up from ebay. They are both made by Ronin miniatures and are their (unnoficial) yet strikingly acurate renditions of Sanguinius and Magnus the Red.
Sanguinius:


Magnus The Red



Both: Notice how big Magnus is compared to poor wee Sanguinius. Saying that, Magnus was supposed to be a Cyclopean giant of tremedous size dwarfing even the emperor, so as far as I am concerned, he is spot on.

All I can say is that these two models are tasty! They really do both look the part. I cannot wait to get Sanguinius painted and I have promise myself that when I get my first 1500pts worth of either my Blood Angels or my Imperial Guard finished completely, I will give my self the privalige of starting my pre-heresy Thousand Sons army including Magnus.
