Red Scorpion Pics... Finally.

I finally got around to taking some pictures of my Red Scorpions... But I dont think I got them all in these two pictures, and I am too lazy right now to take another!

Obviously I didnt get the vehicles in these pics, but I am not worrying about that for now, three of them still need paint!

In addition, here is the current view of my 30 Day Challenge models. Gotta add 16 sets of arms and bolters, then I can move on to helmets, shoulder pads, backpacks, and other details!

Resurgence of the Crusade

So, yeah, I apparently got bored, and snapped a few pics of my remaining Space Marine armies. Lets just move down the line, shall we?

First up, my Marines Errant. For a while, I was calling them the Angels of Purity, before I remembered/was reminded that there was a Chapter with this color scheme. I prefer this Chapter anyways, since they were involved in the Badab War, alongside the Red Scorpions.

The Imperial Fists. Working on these guys is why I have such high respect for anyone who actually completes yellow models.

My "other" Chapters. Dark Angels, Black Templars, Silver Skulls, Ultramarines, Blood Angels, and a single Space Wolf. Im not at the point to take a #Warmonger pledge to not buy any new models, but I do want to get them finished before I add much more, after the 30 Day Challenge, that is.

Speaking of, you will notice no pics of the Red Scorpions here. That was because I was too lazy to pull them out of the travel case after last weekends game. Ill get pics of them up, soon enough.

Thirty Day Challenge, Clash of the Ryans!

For the past few days, We have been setting up something fun. Fellow blogger and tweeter/Warmonger Ryan (@RTGamer) and I have decided to run a 30 Day Challenge!

The contest is this: Assemble and paint to the usual army standard 25 models, in 30 days.

The Winner get gloating rights, the loser must change the color of their blog to pink for two weeks. Yes, this means the Top Ten would be on a pink background. I had better not lose!

He is painting some Menoth troops and some other stuff. I am painting Red Scorpion Space Marines. Two 10-man tactical squads and a 5-man devastator squad to be exact.

At first, it seems unfair. Red Scorpions are simple to paint, especially the way I do them... However, we agreed that this is countered by the fact that space marines are a lot more involved during the assembly stage.

There is one other hiccup to deal with. I dont have enough Red Scorpion Chapter shoulder pads for all 25 models! So, Ryan graciously agreed to allow me to skip that on a few of them. Ill just paint the pads and glue them on after I get some more. I think I will be using up every single RS resin trooper bit I have during this event!

So, in preparation, here is a picture of where these models stand right now!
