Rank & File #2
Here I come with another month, but prepare to be struck not with a hurricane, but with Striking Scorpions. Yes, I know I'm not supposed to use an opening picture other than my models, but I just can't help myself...
Continuing with squads this month I moved on to a unit that has been the bane of my imperial guard's existence. Striking scorpions. Sadly I have always had to face them in their ugly black undercoat, but now when I give them back to my friend they can crush me in their new green paint job!
These guys took a long time to paint and I forgot how much edge highlighting there are on these models. I think a lot more than the Fire Dragons I did last month. Still, I am very pleased with how they came out.
There were three different poses which was a bit refreshing from the fairly mono poses of the Fire Dragons. You could even dare say these models are certainly "striking a pose."
The squad leader was fun to paint too. I thought about painting the claw hand a different color but opted to keep it green.
Overall I am happy with the way they turn out. Hopefully I won't cry too much when the models I painted have turned on me to kill my precious guardsmen.
Unit of ten Striking Scorpions including Exarch: 260
