XKhalilX Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I really like the name of the chapter, its really awesome. Though The color scheme doesnt so fit with it, I was thinking of dark colors (hence night) like black and dark purple black and dark blue or green, etc.. A little too bright for my taste. But I really love the paint job. I would think some serious DIY fluff is much needed :) you should get some of the red scorpians stuff from forgeworld for your night scorpians, their dred is amazing if u have the extra money for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XKhalilX Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 scorpians glow under UV light? really!? I gotta see this! Picturing your marines on the field of battle, they really stick out, but not in a bad way, very unique, and the color scheme has definately grown on me after coming back to the post several times. Now im thinking of making a brightly colored color scheme (though not green I dont wanna rip you off LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil galed Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 LOL u can copy me completely if you want, it would please me no end if someone had some. night scorpions. If not a nice orange and black could be similarly garish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Scout Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 You have done well, green is such a hard (for me anyway) colour to paint, they look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evapilotone Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Love the scheme. It works fantastically well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Great job(my loyalists were the same colors)only one problem in my eyes there very glossy,try a mat clear coat to dull it down,then again you might have put a few coats of washes/inks on to get them like that.

Marek Grimfang Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Love them. A full army on a board is going to rock. But for 5th Ed., what are you going to do since you can't have 2x Spec Weapons in a squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for 5th Ed., what are you going to do since you can't have 2x Spec Weapons in a squad. i was under the impression that in a 10 man squad 2 special weapons could be taken. if not i'll just use some extra models i have as back ups ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Grimfang Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I wish it was, but no more 2x Spec Weapon units for 5th except for Assault Squads. "Bolter Shock" squads still rock though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bolter Shock" squads still rock though. may have to convert some flamers to bolters then :mellow: or include some of the robed guys i am doing instead of them being purely command squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Love the colour scheme gil galed (welsh for hard isn't it?). These are almost crbon copies of my soon to be sister's chapter the Jade scorpions, who use a slightly darker green Mentor chapter style with black. Keep it up and I hope you get a Dreadnought as that would be awesome. :mellow: Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Grimfang Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 For Scorpians I think of "Stingers" and what better way to represent them than with Las Canons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderclap Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 That's a really striking colour scheme. I love it :o I love the contrast, you've pulled it off really well. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gil galed Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 again all appreciated, i'm touching up my special characters (painting 5 years ago was not that great :tu:) i'll post um up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hey man, rocking colour scheme! well done!! As for the Scorpions showing up under UV light, tis true, Emperor scorpions especially: UV Scorpion I must admit you chose a challenging colour scheme and really pulled it off. As for the 2 special weapons in a squad going away, wel first off, wait to see the codex youself and second, I would have no problem with proxying models (this flamer is a bolter) until you've had time to change things around (any player that does takes it far far too seriosuly!). We've always had a house rule here that it is fine to proxy 'down or accross, but not up' i.e. a special can become a normal, but not a heavy, as this avoids confusion.

gil galed Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 i have a few spare models lying around so i'll knock together some replacements :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-chaplain Astador Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Never ever been a fan of green but your marines loook good! I like the freehand you have done on the banner & the marines forehead I like your sergent also My oly criticism is that you need to remove the mould lines (I saw the most obvious one on the Powerfist of Sgt. Apollo) and your paint seems a tad too thick other than that, great job, I'd def get some red scorpion bits would really add more individuality to your chapter!
