Forgeworld Shadowsword arrived

At the end of last year I started a trade on Bartertown for a Shadowsword, and it showed up yesterday.    I love Forgeworld's stuff, so even though I could have easaly gotten one of these in GW plastic, I really wanted the Forgeworld version.  The resin calls to me.

I plan on painting up this unit to match my Imperial Guard.  I got one of the Forgeworld painting books from my Brother-in-Law for Christmas and I figure this model will be a great way to try out some of the techniques in it.  I'm playing in Big Jim from Galaxy in Flames' event at The Bay Area Open this year, so I play on having this guy ready in a few months to hit the table.
