Lissanne's Rainbow Warriors- Wrap Up! The Rainbow's End


So my 5th OWAC comes to an end, with an unbroken string of victories and no mulligans!  My goal was to complete all the figures necessary for a series of Space Hulk games using Rainbow Warriors, while doing a 2nd legion army full of equality and eco friendly pony loving marines! Rainbows are fun!  Rainbows are hard....I didn't get all the vehicles done I had intended, like another rhino, a land raider and a bike squad, but I am happy with all I did get done!

So here is that Space Hulk list and pics of the finished models!
One Captain with Power Sword and Storm Bolter
Two Sargents with Storm Bolters and Power Swords


One Lieutenent with Storm bolter and Power fist
One Sargent with Storm bolter and Power fist


Chaplain with Storm Bolter and Crozius
Librarian with Storm Bolter and Force Axe
Techmarine with Storm Bolter and Photon (Missile) Launcher
Techmarine with Storm Bolter and Auspex

Two Termies with Heavy Flamers and Power Fists


Two Termies with Assault Cannons and Power Fists



One with Chainfist and Storm Bolter (I have 2, oh well)

One with Lightning Claws, and one with a Thunder Hammer and Force Shield (who was done previously)


And 7 standard terminators with storm bolter and power fist, and the other Sargent (front left) that ended up in the group shot.  There are actually 8 standards here, but what the hey!  More is good.

And those things not on the list

Terminator Hero Rainbow Dash


 The two dreadnoughts Cadence and Cascade


 
Drop Pod Chrysalis

Skyrangers (7) and Grav Tank Azure Sky



QT Mark Crusaders (10) and Rhino Celestia

And the Baneblade Tarkus

 
Since I am doing a 12 squad challenge elsewhere, I have the Skyrangers to finish and another 10 person squad of marines.  I painted up a fancy space marine the other week who turned out to be a Primaris, so I think the final squad will be all Primaris.  No one is around in the fluff to stop Cawl from doing it, LOL!  So it isn't really the Rainbow's end, after all.

 This was probably the hardest OWAC for me since the first (cavalry...) but I'm happy to have gotten it done!  An endless line of intricate models all mostly alike is difficult and mind numbing, as it turns out.  But I can finish the last models (for the other challenge) more slowly..  And I have painted so much this month- only one Rainbow Warrior!

So Congratulations to all the finishers, be you a novice or repeat offender.  It never gets easier!
