Redscorps aka Bad Credentials - Painting and Modelling

Hey gang, Got to throw down against my boy Jake on Sunday, hosted at one of the local Heresy dudes bars before he opened for the evening. It was cool as shit for Luke to get us in there and make us a few drinks while we rolled dice and talked some shit. Jake brought 1500pts of World Eaters using the 'Mournival Events' Veteran Company right of war. I brought my Death Guard using The Reaping so the Heavy Bolter Squad counted as troops and everyone had rad grenades. I got first turn and kinda pushed the action pressing everyone forward, our aim was to kill as much of eachothers infantry as possible and we both wanted a blood bath. The first turn overall was a bit of a wash, the following turns though we're bulk carnage, after losing my HQ and Terminators in turn 2 (Killing his Contemptor) and my Assault Marines in 3 (To wipe his Herald and Vets) I started having to backup and fire with everything else as a lot of the punch had gone. The game ended on the top of turn 5

G'day g'day, So the only thing I don't have put out is the Typhon Siege Tank, Lord of War option but mostly just a display piece as I'm trying to stick to 'The Boys' for now. It's been a real tough slog getting back to this point, painting batches, painting gaming armies actually kinda bums me out in a big way. I'd rather just paint up things that interest me as a hobby but the grind for infantry is kinda done now so anything else I add might be a bit of fun. Yeehawwww! Jackie

Hiya! Up next we've got the Magnificent 7. A bunch of Calth MkIV boyos with Quickdraw Heavy Bolters. With the new changes to Augury Scanners these dudes got a whole lot more deadly, snapping to intercept enemy reserves up to 36" away. I didn't do much customising on these either, pretty much straight out of the box save for the sergeants dome piece. I really like these dudes and I love hammering shells down range and seeing what sticks. Thanks for checking in, Jackie

Gday Look at this tubby little bitch.. haha. I took the new goony looking Plague Marine Champion model, cut away all the cartoony stuff and was left with a mildly bloated MkIII character. I then ended up filling most of the corrosion holes in the armour, added MkIII plastics arms weapons and head as well as the lower half of a MkIII backpack to attempt to backdate him 10000 years. I really like this guy, he has good flavour I reckon and stands out from the crowd of normal Legionaries to lead from the front. Yeeeee! Jackie

Yo! Today I have a little 5 man Cataphractii squad to present for your viewing pleasure. These guys are pretty straight forward, there wasn't any modification beyond the addition of the Power Scythe and I'm quite happy with how they turned out. I really love this plastic kit, they look big, powerful and violent especially compared to the regular MkIII/IV/V Marines. Thanks for checking in! Jackie

Holla! I've got some MkV clad Assault Marines to show today, these guys are the latest unit I've finished for the force and I'm pretty stoked. They ended up pretty gore soaked but it was intentional, I wanted to represent what I thought units that were actually carving through live meat with chain saws would look like so they got hit with the Tamiya Clear Red + Black mix pretty hard. Yewwwww pro-murderers! Cheers guys Jackie

Hey guys, Next up is a little artillery to support my infantry pushes. I'm often taking 4 'compulsory' troops choices (3 Tac and 1 Assault) on foot as for me it feels like it best represents the early Heresy fiction I've read and enjoyed. On the tabletop though they don't have a lot of punch so I need some points effective units to help offset the high fluff factor. First up is the black pair.. although it's hard to tell from this photo due to a bit of weird lighting, these have a black-grey gradient instead of the normal green I use. I've also loaded these guys up with Destroyer markings too to represent the capacity for everyone's favourite and very Death Guard fluffy, PHOSPHEX!  Then we have the regular pair, standard green, might sometimes have Phos but for the most part they'll just have normal frag and shatter shells to help me deal with hordes or armour. Speaking of Quad Mortars, the biggest issue a lot of people have with them is the bullshit

Hey gang, I've shared my little conversion of the BaC Contemptor before but I did a little extension to the Kheres that looks kinda neat. I extended the barrel length by around 50%, mostly just to not have to deal with the whispy thin Resin ones that I got from Forge World. 

Hey gang,  I made a little bit of air support for my Death Guard Legion a little while back, I used the Forge World MkIV Dread and the missile racks from the Forge World Deredeo strapped onto the sides. It was pretty much a direct fit into the shoulder pegs and I quite like the look now I'm used to it, just a shame it's only two shots, haha. I want to get a few more box dreads going too, one mixed armament and one pure close combat box. I did a little mod to the chest panels on this little guy too, more for necessity than an aesthetic change as I had a real dip and a mold slip on this kit that was too bad to deal with. I wanted to say too, to the guys that commented yesterday and shared similar sentiments while welcoming me back, thanks a heap, it's really nice to come back to a warm welcome and I appreciate you sticking with my blog. Cheers guys Jackie
