...but blood - blood is forever

Hopefully the Skitarii rules will allow them to be assembled in a way that they can be used as either Skitarii or Solar Auxillia (like I've assembled my Emperor's Children veterans to be either Legion Veterans or Grey Hunters/Sternguard). Fingers crossed :)

3 Vorax are build:

Beautiful models, I don't see any need for conversions. They are perfect the way they are wub.png


Also been working on a Lord of War:

Brass Scorpion!

Exactly smile.png

It is just such a good fit for my army, as for one I had the model lying around since ages (I bought it for a deamon army that I never finished..) and secondly it is also very nice to explain from the fluff perspectiv, as Sarum will be later after the civil war, Khornes favorite Hell-Forge. It makes sense that the Redjak Cult, with beeing cut off from Mars for ages and then joining the rebelion and all, did already produce prototypes during the Horus Heresy.

And well.. it is a kick-ass modell, very "grimdark" wub.png

Here you can see Magos Redjak personally overseeing the construction of the prototype:

I cut off some of the chaos decoration and replaced the tail weapons with one clean mini-gun. With plastic card I did some minor details and also I will not use any of the blades. I think when painted it will fit pretty good into the army.

Thanks Heinrich!

 

Only some minor gap filling left to do:

As for the painting, I was thinking about to give the top armor plates, going along the spine, a brass color, the other ones and the cabeling a black.

The idea behind it was that the brass color of the prototypes later gave the scorpion his name.

What do you think about that?

I think that using a lighter gold like a white gold would look pretty cool, but make it still feel like it's not chaos-ified. Painting it in world eater colors would be pretty awesome, but it bet you'll still make it look good either way!

 

What rules are you running with it? I've never seen one in action.

I will play him with his original rules, but he could also be a nice Castigator Knight count as I guess.

 

Here is some progress:

Gotta say Poom, all this stuff is pretty damn outstanding - one of the things I appreciate in miniatures most is 'realism' in regards to palette - with accurate tones for materials, which more often than not means more muted, earthier colours, which I think you've captured perfectly

keep up the good work thumbsup.gif

There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal

There is no strength in flesh, only weakness

There is no constancy in flesh, only decay

There is no certainty in flesh but death

The colour scheme is very effective - it shows age and its Chaotic nature, but isn't over the top.

Fantastic! wub.png

Wow!

 

 

 

 

 

That Scorpion is amazing...

 

 

 

I've never seen the victims trapped in the cables before. They just take the mini to a whole new level of amazing. Excellent paint job to make them contrast and stand out nicely.

 

Do you have any plans for entering this year's ETL (representing the Age of Darkness, naturally)?
