baneful Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 G'day everyone, Well Im looking for some feed back on what ive done so far. http://groups.msn.com/BanefulsPics/redscor...5thcompany.msnw So far its mostly all wip for a tournament in just under a fortnights time and I am still not 100% happy even for just gaming standard. Which is all im trying to achieve as I still have 1600 odd points to paint. What do you all think? any critisism is welcome. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 They look good. Keep moving forward, don't go back to fix anything until you're done. Right now you're viewing them in a bubble. In the context of a Tournament full of different armies of different qualities they'll look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorschach Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Your yellows are BEAUTIFUL! Might I be so bold as to ask for your recipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironloki Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Looking lovely and crisp. I love that drop pod. Should look great once they are all together. Its always a pleasure seeing a massive and well painted army :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastellan Kong Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Nah... it's just their chapter badge that is red... It's all in Forgeworlds IMPERIAL ARMOUR VOLUME FOUR - THE ANPHELION PROJECT book... check it out Nice crisp paint job you have there.

Apemantus Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Nice work, And As far as I'm aware the Red Scorpions armour used to be red before GW changed the colour to the charcoal grey and yellow that it is now, I've just read Imperial Armour 4 and I must say the Red Scorpions are a great chapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primarch16 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Looking good, how did you do the bases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baneful Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Thanks for the replies everyone, sorry I havnt responded sooner. Now my painitng stands at 3 almost completed Tactical Squads, and a Land Speeder Tornado. Yellow recepie is simple, just a base coat of white then using sunblast yellow from vallejo, for the yellow on the drop pod i mixed some white into the yellow for a bight of a lighter colour. As for the bases, they are resin. From an Australian, supplier/company called "Warbases.com" (the sites not up yet, but will be in the near future), I know the buisiness owner from another set of boards, if your really keen I can get him to contact you/put you in touvh. They are made out of Iron-resin. Which means they will stick to magnets, I use his fantasy cobblestone bases on my dogs of war and with that property magnetic movement trays make everything so simple. Ill provide some more pics once ive got the force almost done, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignatius Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Looking good, nice and crisp, but arn't they supposed to be a dark slate/charcole colour? They definatley have a blue tinge to them! I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviej37 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Looks like no 'Best Army' for me this year :( . They look pretty darn nice to me, I guess I'll see 'em in the flesh(paint, plastic, whatever) in two weeks then(G'con right) :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baneful Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 G'day again everyone, no pics today. But ill share some more in the next couple of days. Ignatius, I think the bluish tinge is just the pictures. I will take the next shots on a white back ground. Might turn out better. Daviej37 yep Im hoping they will be ready in time for G'con. What army are you taking? Are you the Dave whom won Best Army last year with Black Templars? Thought I would share a recipie of how they are painted too. Its a bit rough but does the job, Ok heres a quick break down of the paints and how ive done the armour. Black Undercoat (white knights flat black), base coat all over of 'german black grey' (vallejo historical type line thingy- white lid), bleach bone over all eagles/purity seals/skulls etc, red gore over seals/eyes/scorpion sybol (do a skull white base coat in the circle first - makes it easier), brighter red on red areas (blood red), gold circle around scorpion, white over bone areas/in scorpion circle, ultramarineblue power cords ?(optional highlight of blue mixed with white. Metal on armour vallejo gun metal, then vallejo silver highlights, silver on weapons is gamesworkshop mithril. For yellow, a base coat of skull white over undercoat where it has to go, then vallejo golden yellow until it looks nice/passable Ive got 4 more termies, my commander, 19 tactical marines, 1 apothecary and a predator to complete by thursday next week. Cheers everyone, pics will be incoming soonish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviej37 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yep, that's me and it's Templars again, albeit completely reorganised and making their last official tourny for the time being. I did a similar thing to you last year, leaving myself less than a month to paint a whole army, though no mongrel forgeworld bitz(mongrel to paint, not to look at). Now its taking me more than a month to paint an IC, Squad(20 man though) and a vindi, I think I'm going backwards :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baneful Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Cool good to hear you will be attending. I was the lost and the Damned last year. Yes the FW stuff is a pain to paint (my next couple of projects will have me stuffed - nids with a hierophant and 2 hierodules, etc), but is eye candy and feeds my resin addiction :D Thought the worse bit was not having it sent to me until 14 days after its release date :blink: , and 16 days after i was charged for it :) . Was bad form on Forgeworlds part, especially not responding to emails :jaw: . Im finding it hard to put out the army at this standard in such time, but its rewarding as it all grows. Lucky I changed my list and didnt take the full company like I had planned. 100 marines would have been a struggle. Good luck for the tourney mate, I think it will be a challenge to wrestle best army off you ;) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD COMMANDO Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Looks great but dont you think a few guns might be helpfull :blink: Nice Crisp clean, great job :jaw: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg033 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 very nice - looking forward to seeing the final army.

MithrilForge Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 looks really great :P only gripe is that the Nid skull on the captains base is way too white B) it needs some bone and a chestnut ink wash on it to make it a more lifelike skull ;) otherwise great army ...keep it up. mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel robertson Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Fantastic looking army! Only gripe is your whites look quite flat on the purity seals and eagles, perhaps a light glaze of grey could fix that? Cheers, AR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelis Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 As a side question: If were to paint a Red Scorpions army with white and red, how could it be acceptable fluff-wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangelus Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Nice army you got there, Bane! Well done! Maelis: In the Badab war the Red Scorpions had an alternative colour scheme of red and charcoal gray/black (Angstrom Incident colour scheme). You could use that. Have fun!
