All is Dust... - Thousand Sons Army, part 10: Ahriman and group shots

If you didn't know Ahriman was coming, you don't know Thousand Sons.

I'm quite happy with him, and like him even more than my old Ahriman from my wee little Thousand Sons army years ago.

Hmm, actually, I dug him up from my archives.

The old man had a nearly inverted scheme with what I did for this project, and a little more pop, but way less finesse.
