Tankus Wokus Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 So a friend and I had an idea about playing a clensing of Prism campaign, he already plays Sisters of Battle so it fell to me to represent the Rainbow Warriors. We decided for fun/challenge we would select our army lists at random, so a dice roll was used against a standard FOC to select how many of each choice was used in each army. I generated: 1 HQ 2 Troops 2 Elites 2 Fast Attack 3 Heavy Support We decided points cost to be fairly irrelevent and as long as the armies were close to each other it was all good, next was to assign a number to each selection within the choice, this then generated the following HQ - Chaplain Troops - 2x Tactical Squads Elites - Terminator Squad (non combat) Iron Clad Dreadnought Fast Attack - Assault Marine Squad Scout Bikers Heavy - Devestator Squad. Thunderfire Cannon & a Vindicator. Having marine stuff kicking about for ages I own nearly all of this already however the Iron Clad & 3 of the bikers are to be purchased later. My painting table now looks a bit like this http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy248/Tankus97/DSC00806.jpg The Chaplain has been finished and is just wating to be based. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy248/Tankus97/DSC00807.jpg Finally I have finished the first Tactical Sgt and I'm rather pleased with the results. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy248/Tankus97/DSC00808.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy248/Tankus97/DSC00809.jpg Comments welcome Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Twisted Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Wow! That's your Tact. Sarge? I'd be pleased with that as my Captain! Amazing work. Can I get a rundown on the components? On another note, I wish I had the money to make an army based on a dice roll like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Wokus Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Thanks Dave, The main body is from the masters of the chapter box, master of recruits I think, head is the sgt helmet from the Red Scorpions assualt marine upgrade kit and the fist is from the old Space Wolves sprue with the skull cut off.

Dave the Twisted Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Ah, I thought that was a Scorpion helm but I wasn't sure. You set yourself a pretty high standard for sergeants though. I look forward to seeing the rest of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bystrom Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Yay! Rainbow warriors! Neat-looking indeed! ;) Are you going to add script or similar to all the parchments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 That is incredibly well done, that's more of a captain than a sergeant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somar Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 i am very interested in how you are going to do the non-combat terminators. what will their role be? cleaning the battlefield with power brooms? i kid, you meant non close combat termies i reckon. great looking stuff, nice to see people make stuff not meant for tourneys for a change. just refrain from making a locker room/shower stall diorama :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankus Wokus Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Ok so here's the first update.

Hellios Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 First I would like to say great work... looking fab and as someone else who has some Rainbow Warriors and was once a skittle ninja... I wish you look with making the foes of the emperor taste the rainbow! My one criticism... and I'm not sure where official art work and so on falls on this but I've always imagined the (and painted as such) the rainbow stripe to be about as wide as the mini crest thing that runs along the top of the helms.... yours are obviously wider and that may have been because you felt it would look better and they are your minis and they look fab as I say so I'm most certainly not having a go B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legio Draconis Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 A great source of rainbow warriors information is the story on the black library bolthole seven shades of sacrifice. It would nearly make me want to to start an army of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hmm I see some very nice work here. I'm usually all for grimdarkness and dark paintschemes but when I see a well executed bright paintscheme I have to give it its due. And your tactical sergeant is one of the best sergeants I've seen in terms both of conversion/ pose and painting. Keep up the good work and I hope you have your army finished soon. ;) Sorry for the off-topic but I just have to do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV8x2HKTRdM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obliterator Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Great looking Rainbow Warriors so far, TW! Those are some really badass looking sergeants, I agree with earlier comments that those could very well be used as captains. Can't wait to see all of the completed army in one picture :drool: .
