I usually avoid linking to Kotaku, joystiq and Slashdot pieces simply because everyone has almost certainly seen them already. Guess I conclusively broke that rule today, but with good reason. Just check out this beauty!

I used to be into Warhammer back in the day (in fact I ran a fairly massive site devoted to it for seven years) and Games Workshop would give away a fairly impressive Slayer Sword each year to the winner of theirGolden Daemon painting competition. Somehow, every single one of those swords now pales in comparison. Do check out some of the stunningly painted pieces on that page though.
