The Lion is back

   It has been a long time since I mentioned the First Legion.  They are still my second favorite Chapter (after my Ultramarines, of course!) due to the awesomeness of their storyline.  But everyone knows that the army was not good for a very long time.  Well, that's changed since my last dive.  

  The craziest thing is that their Primarch has recently returned, slapped around Angron a bit, and now unites the Legionnaires as he crawls his way across the galaxy.  Yes, this means even those with the black armor of old are now fighting alongside those in green!  And in the gaming world, the rules make him the most powerful- specifically with the inclusion of "Always Strikes First".  I'm always a little sad that Bobby G isn't as good, even as he wields the Emprah's Sword, but at least the Lion is on my side.

  That all being said, my son bought the model for his army and then demanded that I paint it for him.  While flattered, I've been so bad at actually getting to the project as it was simply pushed back in priority over and over again.  Well, I guess it might be time to paint him.  

  He sub-assembled the model so that I'd be able to paint the robes underneath and all the details.  This will lead to some fun as I try to to match the black armor that you see above.  Layer-after-layer of bone color and green are gonna be a blast.  

  That's as far as I've gotten right now, but I'm going to be putting some work into it over the next little while.  Even more, I'm going to remember my lights so that I can get better photos!  Stay tuned to see the progress.  

Happy Hobbying!
