Crazy Eight Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 So il start with a little intro about myself first . I started my journey into 40k way back in rouge trader era played all the way through the different editions witha few breaks here and there upto 5th and that's where i stopped for multiple reasons. After watching a few games and looking at all the new goodies FW and GW have been releasing i have been having urging s to jump back into 40k again. Nothing like what i had when i stopped at 5th ed i could put down about 20,000 pts worth of marines then. so thats a little bit of my 40k background. I shall be using this thread to show case my WIPs and what i have kept since 5th ed. Lots of feedback welcome good and bad and any tips :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305709-my-return-to-40k-and-red-scorpions-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Eight Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Just a little update not WIP related :-( . i had my first game in years last nite against Tau . Was an interesting game 1750 so i had a good mix of stuff Culln 3 Centurions 2x10 tac squads 3 contemptors 1 of which came down in a pod 5 man dev squad mission was objectives. As i said was an interesting game i learned that power swords are useless haha centurions with grav cannons are a beast Culln is a monster in combat . thats all really working on some named characters today as i have a free day so im gonna get Haas finished and also get some scenery done that i have started.

Crazy Eight Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Landraider spartan arrived today awesome model but requires a lot of love and hot water and gentle sanding to fit together. I managed to spill hot water all over my instructions which is annoying so i now have to email FW asking for PDF of instructions which is annoying Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305709-my-return-to-40k-and-red-scorpions-army/#findComment-4020193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Look forward to the Sternguard. Thats why I no longer buy large kits from FW anymore. Right now I have so many projects going I have no room to set up any Scorpions.

Crazy Eight Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Look forward to the Sternguard. Thats why I no longer buy large kits from FW anymore. Right now I have so many projects going I have no room to set up any Scorpions. Not really sure where to go with the stern guard as in load out. I have enough bits to make a 10 man unit but also i have a spare model to split them into 2 5 man units and im working on a sargent Haas redscorpions character for the sternguard. Love that conversion of culn in mk iv armor! Yeah im pleased with him although i havent really used him much more of a display peace.

Crazy Eight Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 This Spartan tank is proving a challenge and not because it's complicated to build but because of the sanding and trimming to get it to fit but it is an awesome model Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305709-my-return-to-40k-and-red-scorpions-army/#findComment-4020958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 This Spartan tank is proving a challenge and not because it's complicated to build but because of the sanding and trimming to get it to fit but it is an awesome model if you haven't already assembled the beast; I'm sure the community could benefit from pictures of where you needed to sand and fiddle with the model to get it to fit together.

The Yak Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Good to see you back Brother! You where really active when I first joined the B&C and I loved the way you where so passionate about the Red Scorpions. In my opinion the Badab war chapters are the best! Much better than all the first founding at Hours Heresy nonsense!! Looking forward to seeing these projects pan out!
