Ch-ch-changes!

Unlike David Bowie, I do know what I've been waiting for...tomorrow I have a game against another, live, actual human being.

It will be my first proper game of 40k since fourth (I think) edition and I'm giving my Tzeentch Daemons a run out against Pete's Space Wolves (which are also a lockdown army).

As a game was beckoning, I finally found the impetus to build and paint a recent acquisition for the army: the Changeling.


This is a HQ unit and a named character. It will be trolling along with my Flamers and Horrors, throwing out spells and providing a variety of buffs.


The model itself was a bit of a faff to assemble and paint, thanks to all the folds if cloak and many, many arms getting in each other's way. There's also an annoying hole in his hood due to clumsy sprue clipping, which I clearly repaired badly.


I tried to evoke the other colours in the army, giving it Pink Horror arms, ribbons the colour of Blue Horrors and feathers on the staff reminiscent of the Daemon Prince.

I went with black robes because black contrast paint made that the lazy choice.

Overall, I'm really happy with him/her/it, although I might revisit the hole in the hood after tomorrow. I might also see about adding to this army, but I'm not sure I want to take on another Start Collecting box just yet.

Acquired: 98
Painted: 94
