Angels_Blade Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 This week I have been mostly painting.... Laan Kaltan, Chapter Master of the Steel Scorpions (I know he's not really but he is in my army!) Picked up a Sicarius yesterday and decided he needed to be in my army albiet with a weapon swap. In games terms I'm thinking I may use the rules for Vulkan Hestan but i'm not sure. Either way. Much choppidge and Filing later I found time to paint him whilst Hamilton spanked the Ferraris. Not the best job I've done but I do like him. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P9290193.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P9290194.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P9290196.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P9290197.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P9290198.jpg C&C welcome as ever Cheers AB! P.S. Here's a sneek peek of his Honour Guard Wip http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P9290192.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149637-steel-scorpion-chapter-master-kaltan/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custodian Athiair Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 that is an awsome model -_-:tu:tu: also is it just me or are those honour guard looking like Custodians? but still awsome Athiair :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149637-steel-scorpion-chapter-master-kaltan/#findComment-1738195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozz Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Once I saw that the arms came seperate on the Sicarius model, I knew I had to have his armour in my army. I might use him as a counts as, as he has very nice stats. Or just a regular captain/chapter master. Looking good though, I like what you've done with the arm swaps. -_- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149637-steel-scorpion-chapter-master-kaltan/#findComment-1738227 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels_Blade Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 The ornate shoulder pad is actually Sicarius' but i filed off the skell and replaced it with a brass etch. The siarius Mini doesn't come with seperarte arms only seperate hands so i had to do some serius choppy to get the halberd on. The Nameplate on the Shield is from the Red Scorpion brass etch. I've been advised to change the name of the chapter so i can do with as i wish but i don't want to. Anyway I've had some good suggestions so far so we'll see in the future what i will do with them!

Montuhotep Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I found time to paint him whilst Hamilton spanked the Ferraris. Glorious, wasn't it? :tu: Together with your Dread, squads etc etc, this is going to be one stunning army when it's done; never really been a fan of massed metallics until I saw these.

Angels_Blade Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 I really like the conversion. Change the name of the chapter so you can do as you wish? This army was originally designed by Ah Shulah and he got very pissy with me for painting my own Steel Scorpion army. He's probably right so i'll have to call them something else like Stainless Steel Scorpions lol Thanks for everyones nice comments, I really enjoy painting and gaming with them. I'm off to Warhammer World with them this weekend so that should be fun!

Guest Gordofski Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Fantastic, looks suitably ornate for a Chapter Master and his retinue while following a common theme. Great job, I can't wait to see the honor guard completed.

Heru Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I've been advised to change the name of the chapter so i can do with as i wish but i don't want to. No-one ever takes my advice, even when it's the most logical course of action... :) In games terms I'm thinking I may use the rules for Vulkan Hestan but i'm not sure. If you do that you won't be able to take your Honour Guard unit into battle with him (Vulkan Hestan doesn't even have a Command Squad allotment let alone an Honour Guard one).

ForceCommander Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Iron Scorpions sounds just as good as Steel Scorpions, at least to my ear.

The Emperor's Champion Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Iron Scorpions sounds better to me and I thought that up before I saw it was mentioned here. So maybe consider it.

Brother Vespasian Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Awesome Work Blade. You inspired me to make my own honour guard or at least use the Grey Knight Weapons in my command squad. PS which are better points wise Honor Guard or Command Squads- I LOVE both Brother Vespasian Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149637-steel-scorpion-chapter-master-kaltan/#findComment-1742070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_Blade Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hey Vesp! Honour guard are the weaker choice in my book but have the opportunity to look cooler. Command squads can be more survivable and have more options but the Honourguard are more hard hitting. Remember though that a fully maxed out unit of honour guard is 700pts!!! I prefer to compare Honour Guard to Vanguard vets as they are much closer in points!
