Cl4d Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Check this link http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Red_Scorpions You said your army is allready basecoated? What color is it because it might cause you problems or do you just mean you primed it? Also check this picture from forgeworld. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/rsp1store.jpg I'd go for some black mixed with space wolf grey to get the basecoat.

Rekky Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi, i am also currently painting a red scorpion army, and i dont like the extremely dark grey that gw paint them, i prefer the grey in the part work, its lighter, hence mine are painted using a grey similar to the Revilers http://wh40k.lexicanum.de/wiki/Revilers Hope this helps.

AdrianG Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 The Warhammer 40k Wiki confirms the colours as Black and Yellow. This is a better set of pictures I think: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/rsvets.htm Hope it helps you :pinch: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143624-need-help-with-the-paint-scheme-for-red-scorpions/#findComment-1664653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekky Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 This unfortunately isn't correct, as according to IA4, the official colours for the red scorpions are deep grey and yellow.

Muzza Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm currently painting my second tactical squad of my Red Scorpions force and will then be painting Commander Culln. I use Adeptus Battlegrey and Iyanden Darksun, I haven't however done the shoulder pads black, I have opted to leave them Adeptus Battlegrey.
