Ever since I saw the original paint scheme of the Red Scorpions Angstrom Incident camo scheme I have wanted to do some. Well among my many other projects and with the release of the new terminators and cool looking assault intercessors I decided to go for it. Given the entire episode is pretty light on actual fluff aside from the camo scheme, the fact the world has shifting red light and black shadows, and the Red Scorpions made some sort of long term deal/oath with the mechanicum there in exchange for siding with the allies instead of remaining neutral. This was also obviously before the silly fluff change of Red Scorpions not using camo, which I am completely ignoring. This list uses Shrike although the model is customized, which is why I have it in the Raven Guard section. I have an alternative version simply using the new jump captain. 2k Vanguard Shrike Ancient in Terminator Armor Libby in Phobos Libby in Phobos execute and redeploy. Libby in Terminator armor Assault Intercessors x5 -T-hammer Assault Intercessors with jump packs x10 Eliminator Squad x2 with las fusils Inceptors x3 with plasma Infiltrator squad x2 5 dudes each Terminator squad x2 x10 dudes with 2 cyclones Ballistus Dread The idea is mechanicus has called in its favor and the Red Scorpions have responded with an infiltration force and will call in the terminators and inceptors once they need to destroy a target as a deep striking fast deployment force. Painting the terminators in standard Red Scorpion colors while the rest are in Angstrom approved colors. I found a pretty easy way to do the crazy red and black scheme. I took the execute and redeploy as I had 20 points to spare.

Basically. New year, new edition, new army. Ive been fluttering about with my old edition 40K armies since the launch of 8th ed and just not really been feeling any of them. I thought the new Blood Angel codex would of got my juices going, as I play the 9th in 30K. But nope... You see, I enjoy using those slightly less seen forces. The new Angel book is actually good! Also, my angels are very much in the 30K style. The Primaris stuff just looks silly standing next to them. So Ive gone for a 40K marine force with no option of crossing into the 30K realm. The Red Scorpions. Now I like to hit the ground running. I have a 40K event at the back end of January I would love to take these too. This thread is for motivation and place for jotting lists and army composition ideas ect. Heck may be even the odd battle report or two. So lets start with my current list ideas First of Ive decided to use the Salamander Chapter tactic until Forgeworld release the Scorpion one. The re-rolls signifying the chapters better maintained war gear and tighter training regime. Secondly. Forgeworld units have that stigma associated with them. So I don't know how well an entire Forgeworld Chapter would be received. The event has no comp in regards to this but Ive written 2 lists. One which is basically a Primaris force with Culln, the other with some more Forgeworld models. The Primaris & Culln
