Yes I know its 5 points over, and so does he... Hell, he even knew before I posted this! ;) Sadly, the only RS models I own that are not being included in this are my Chapter Master and the Librarian... I need more rhinos, then Ill look into getting the second half of the battle company. Ive got the vague beginnings of a sneaky plan, but Ill share that after the game!

Updating the Project List

So, for a while I have had the Red Scorpions Project list on the side there, with 4 of the sub-projects being 0-?. I didnt actually have a target for them... I do now!

I decided on making each list just 1k points, to keep my wallet from crying out too much...

1st Company (C:DA)
Commander Culln (Belial) w/Storm Bolter, Sword of Silence
130

5 Terminators w/Assault Cannon, Storm Bolters, Power Fists, 1 Chain Fist
250

5 Terminators w/Assault Cannon, Storm Bolters, Power Fists, 1 Chain Fist
250

5 Terminators w/Lightning Claws
215

Venerable Dreadnought w/Multimelta, Heavy Flamer
150

Total 995

I still havnt decided for sure if I want to give them Lightning Claws or Thunder Hammers/Storm Shields, if this were off the SM codex, there would be no question...

6th Company (C:SM)
Captain w/Bike, Power Weapon
160

Bike Squad (8) w/ 2 Meltaguns
VSgt w/Power Fist
Attack Bike w/ Multimelta
310

Bike Squad (8) w/ 2 Meltaguns
VSgt w/Power Fist
Attack Bike w/ Multimelta
310

Tactical Squad (10) w/Heavy Bolter, Plasma Gun
VSgt w/Power Weapon
Rhino w/ HK missile
230

Total: 1000

Fairly quick force here, any armor is gonna die fast. Doubt there is enough firepower to deal with any significant amount of infantry though...

8th Company (C:BA)
Captain w/Jump Pack, pair of Lightning Claws, meltabombs
155

Command Squad w/ 2 Power Weapons, Banner, Jump Packs, meltagun
Company Champion
Apothecary
245

Assault Squad (10) w/2 plasma pistols
VSgt w/Power fist
305

Assault Squad (10) w/2 plasma pistols
VSgt w/Power Weapon
295

Total: 1000

This one scares me, so easy to get lit up on the jump over, but once there, it should be "interesting"...

10th Company (C:SM)
Captain w/Bolter, Hellfire Rounds, Power Weapon
125

Scouts (5) w/Bolters, Heavy Bolter
VSgt w/Bolt Pistol, Power Weapon
100

Scouts (5) w/Bolters, Heavy Bolter
VSgt w/Bolt Pistol, Power Weapon
100

Scouts (5) w/Bolters, Heavy Bolter
VSgt w/Bolt Pistol, Power Fist
110

Scouts (5) w/Bolters, Heavy Bolter
VSgt w/Bolt Pistol, Power Fist
110

Land Speeder Storm w/Multimelta
65

Scout Bike Squad (10) w/3 Grenade Launcher, Cluster Mines
VSgt w/ Power Weapon
255

Scout Bike Squad (5) w/2 Grenade Launcher, Cluster Mines
VSgt w/Combimelta
130

Total 995

This one is a bit oxymoronic, sneaky Red Scorpions... I figured equip them in the manner that they will be expected to fight once they are full marines, so they get bolters (maybe some BP/CCWs) and bikes, no snipers here! I also decided that the best representation of their limited numbers was to keep the squad numbers low (aside from that one biker squad, that is).
Im not really sure when Ill get started on these lists, or what order Ill do them in, but I do want to actually do them one at a time, instead of mixing and matching... and this is all after I finish the 5th Company... By then there just might be a new Blood Angels and/or Dark Angels book, so who knows! :)

More Red Scorpion Pics!



First up is the Librarian, with one of those spiffy resin jump packs. I am not very happy with the paint job at all, but I dont hate it enough to strip him and try again... I think part of it is because he got the short end of the mold (the skull on his psychic hood is deformed.)












I also finally finished the Rhino. I managed to bork the assembly some, its harder to tell in this pic that I screwed up a lot of the joins. Im actually fairly satisfied with the paintjob though. Chapter and tactical badges, and I even got the campaign badge on as well (white star on the front).
When I started on this, I over did the grey, by a lot. So, I went over the entire model with a wash of Chaos Black, which got it back to the same shade as my marines. The HK Missile is seperate, so I can "fire and forget it". :)
Next up on the table, I have a tactical squad, a dreadnought, and my Chapter Master!
