Redscorps origins and the Red Scorpions Chapter.

Hi! 

You might remember me, I'm Redscorps. I quit the hobby after a bit of drama in the real world, sold up the Red Scorpions army you see below and didn't think much of it at all between 2011 and now. I've been quite restless, I went and worked in the desert again, I backpacked around Europe hiking for some months, did an inter-country cycling trip and broke my ankle and tore some ligaments quite badly playing Gridiron which has sort of put me on my ass again over the last year. 

My first real army and my first go at painting and converting the stuff you see below came from a fractured C2 vertebrae (and other misc injuries) and a fair bit of time away from sports, so it's kind of fitting that I'm back in now. I figured out how to paint, then figured out how to paint a little better, was inspired by Phil and Mark from Forgeworld's studio to paint better again and apply some more realistic effects to the models (still not a shade on those guys!).

I did a few conversions too as part of the force that I was really happy with, the Stormtalon was a dreadful looking kit, I snapped it up on release day and got straight to cutting it and rearranging the parts and I feel it looks a lot more balanced. The predator with the forward turret and the Land Raider engine was another one I was really stoked on, inspired by the T34/85.

Anyway, they're gone. I realise as I pick up the hobby again with new interest, money couldn't buy back the time and enthusiasm I put into the project and every brush stroke on the newness now, seems to take twice as long! I don't know how those commission painters do it..

Mors Miles - The Death Knight - Legio Vulpa Maniple 13.

Next up, the Princeps Senoris of my favourite maniple style in the game, the Ferrox! Princeps Senoris Agdex is a lead from the front type homie. He has a flair for destruction and more often than not, his Assault Reaver Titan - Mors Miles isn't spared from copping it either. I play Mors Miles and it's matching counterpart Atro Messorum quite aggressively, often pushing the two up together then rotating the lead titan so they can share the damage taken before dishing it back out within the Melta half range. In the most recent event, Mors Miles was detonated in 2/5 games due to this play style but it created opportunities to take the objectives or for other Titans in the battlegroup to get the kill shots while also claiming quite a few engine kills of his own.

Acastus Knight Porphyrion COMPLETED!!!!!

Acacstus Knight Porhpyrion, easily the biggest and most complex kit build and paint job I have ever done for a gaming miniature. I'm really happy with the result but the 60 hrs I spent on getting it finished kinda baked my noodle. I have no idea how the titan painters get through it! Anyway here are some studio shots, let me know what you think!

Hey Dudes, I don't think I ever chucked up a photo of this bad boy but getting and painting one of the new option heads was a good excuse to get some decent photographs. It's my favourite knight chassis but my least favourite head so I'm really glad they released some options. That's it for a while, we're up to date with what I've done now. I'm gonna set to making a gaming table and some terrain again and will continue to add some units to both the knight force and the Death Guard. <3 Jack
