Father Mehman Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I hate to be a downer (but it comes so naturally) but...grenade launchers? How many soldiers are really paying points to downgrade their weaponry? Other than that, it is such a cool thing to see. Suddenly I want more Kasrkin. Much more. I payed some points to downgrade a few of my weapons. I do hate that extra few inches the grenade launcher has in range, though. The ability to hurt some light-armoured targets is the most messed-up thing about it. Everything has its place. Even a meltagun isn't great all the time and plasma guns could bite you.

librisrouge Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I was kinda kidding (sorry if that wasn't clear.) I get that they can sometimes come into play but I have a weird grudge against grenade launchers that rarely do anything for me at all.

captain sox Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 So with the start of the ETL IV I've decided to continue this thread rather than starting a new one. Here's the first vow: 2 Taurox Prime, 3 Squads of 10, and a 5 man command squad. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150504_210654_zpsbgwoi1kd.jpg I'll post more pics of the individual squads shortly. And of course, painting progress :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303921-the-scion-army-cometh-now-with-more-scions/page/3/#findComment-4033201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Nice, I'm eager to see them painted sox :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303921-the-scion-army-cometh-now-with-more-scions/page/3/#findComment-4033384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 So I haven't really painted much lately, but I HAVE been building up my force. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150528_152732_zpso4yz7567.jpg I'm about 2/3 (and a Command Squad) away from my goal of 100+ Scions, arranged in 3, 30 man platoons, plus 3 command squads. This will likely be a higher number eventually. Currently I'm at 75 Scions. 3 Command Squads and 6 Scion Squads. This is my ETL vow: http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150528_152743_zps7uy29t9z.jpg. Just need to highlight and finish the bases and the Command Squad is done. I have holidays coming in June, so I will get busy. Here's the other half of the army: http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150528_152748_zps7qhazlnl.jpg Here's a compressed pic getting ready to move back to the work station: http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150528_153216_zpskjst7mu1.jpg and finally, a closeup of the colour scheme. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150528_153745_zpsvl11zblj.jpg The purple looks much brighter than it really is. is very dark, and looks great in real life. Will try to take a better picture when the squad is done. I've been busy thinning the rest of my army down, building knights and wasting time with Space Marine rumours. Real men don't need Power Armour. Enjoy the army. I have 3 more Taurox to build, and have 6 - 7 more Scion boxes inbound. I know the weapon load outs aren't to everyone's liking, but with the sheer volume of dudes, it doesn't really matter. I'm working on the fluff to this army as well. Edit: Don't know why the pics are so dodgy. My phone usually takes better quality pics.

Master Antaeus Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Ahh, to see Scions flourishing, it warms my frozen, black heart. Also, consider your hot shot carbine idea stolen.

captain sox Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Here's an update: Work / Real life has been kicking my arse lately, but I'm plugging away. I completed the Command Squad, and I'm working between a Taurox Prime and the 1st Scion Squad. Enjoy Command / w WIP Taurox http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150610_215420_zpsvalpc93g.jpg and the various perspectives. The clear coat I used seem to come out with a hazy white fuzz, which is a drag, but all in all, I'm very happy with the final result. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150610_215549_zpsuj4an046.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150610_215658_zpsrbqlyw4s.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150610_215620_zpsmwzajuwv.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150610_215607_zpsh3l2mecn.jpg I've also added a 7th full ten man squad. So the army is now sitting at 85 Scions, and 7 Taurox. (and 3 Knights) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303921-the-scion-army-cometh-now-with-more-scions/page/3/#findComment-4083490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Really digging that purple, reminds me of HH emperors children. How have you achieved that?

Father Mehman Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I pine for that many Scions! Woe betide the vile Traitor when faced by a whole regiment of Death incarnate! Truly, Sox, you are blessed by the Emperor. If you need my pool noodle Eviscerator one day, do not hesitate to ask . This priest will fight beside you. Or, you know, buy you a pizza or something.

Baz: The Scions are coated in Chaos I believe. Daemonette Hide is the base purple, followed by a Druchii Violet wash, then drybrushed with Slaanesh Grey. It's much richer in person than the photos show. Mehman: I like pizza. Tuna and catnip as toppings please! and a big ball of yarn (not on the pizza). Librisrouge: Thanks for the kind words all!

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Your army looks great. I Like the purple.
