Title: Aka Sasori
Description: Red Scorpions BoB Log


Pickle - January 21, 2008 07:03 AM (GMT)
This is my BoB log amazingly enough!
BTW Aka Sasori means Red Scorpion in Japnese or something to that effect. As you can see I am doing Red Scorpions. They will not all be in full FW kit only the pads. Sergeants will be in full MK4 Armour and the eventual veterans will be too. And for you who dont know who the Red Scorpions are read this and look here for the FW kits.

They will be done in the standard scheme and the list may be changed when I get IA 4. The codicer will be converted from FW Culln seen here

The chaplain will be standard chaplain until I try and sculpt some details.

I will be using my existing miniatures plus some new ones and eventually replacing all the old ones with new ones.

Here's the first 1500pt list,

Reclusiarch - 102pts
Bolt Pistol, Crozius, Frag and Krak Grenades, Melta Bombs, Rosarius and Terminator Honours.

i will post pictures of the force as it stands now tomorrow, it's pure bare plastic... just cleanly stripped.

List will eventually be expanded further and may change sometimes. I will be posting up a progress meter thing for it soon.

So far does any one have any ideas for anything and comments?

God, one minute it's Grey Knights, then it's Black Templars, then you want to do Catachans. Bloody hell man! ahaha just kidding, better stick with this one............or.........i dont know, but something will happen !

If I may? I suggest dropping the Reclusiarch and the Razorback with the devastators as well as the extra marine giving you 195 points to play with, then you could add an assault squad, possible ten man if you re-jig the load outs on the tac squads. The thing with devastators is you really need them firing from turn one to get best cost value return.

Well, the list is just a general guideline and with the new rules dedicated transports can be used by other squads after deployment.
Anyway pictures of what I have.

Had fun stripping them lol
Not really... But have spray painted them since those pictures. I need two plasma guns lol. Im also looking for any unmade boxes of marines or anything. Would trade the little I have for them.

EDIT - The other option for this army is to do it based upon the missions in IA4, Start with Culln and three 5 man squads of termies. Then add whats from the next mission and so on.

that would be a cool and original way of building an army, i say do that!

This is approximately what is added in each mission:
Mission 1: Commander Cullen, Terminator Squad Raum, Terminator Squad Rael and Terminator Squad Darak.
Mission 2: Commander Cullen, Terminator Squad Raum, Terminator Squad Rael and Terminator Squad Darak - Eventual Reinforcements - Will add the Dreadnought at this time.
Mission 6: Commander Cullen, Terminator Squad Raum, Terminator Squad Rael, Terminator Squad Darak and an Unknown amount of Tactical Marines
Mission 9: Same as above
Mission 10: Thunderhawk added (yeah right)
Mission 11: Rhinos and Razorbacks, Apothercary Rael

So I need a bit of working out to do and etc

And just to show it a bit more this is the entire force organization

Looking forward to seeing them painted as I love the Red Scorpion scheme.

Are you planning on any conversions on the old Termies to spruce them up?

Pickle - January 22, 2008 08:47 PM (GMT)
May try a few, or may just replace them with 15 newer ones...

Pickle - January 23, 2008 09:49 PM (GMT)
Update Basecoated five marines. Mix is 50/50 Chaos Black/Enchanted Blue.

Nice basecoat, be great to see some progress on the colour scheme

I don't think I'll be able to complete this BoB log so can it be shut. I don't have the money to buy what I want at the moment and don't like sticking to lists.
