Love the yellow and the bases you have put on your rhinos, i really need to pick up that and put my rhinos on base's. Just makes the model look so much more amazing.
where am I? *looks around* Well i'm...errr...I...I...don't know!

Or he could run them as Sycthes of the Emperor...which is what they are. They look good, I don't really like the storm models but you've painted them well.
Were the Tempests difficult to assemble? Were there many issues with the casting? I have been considering the purchase of that model for awhile, just wondering if I should bother.
im loving the models, but to be honest i think the black and yellow on the vehicles is too clean! no dmg, no weathering and no shading on the yellow to really speak of...
highlighting on the black is really nice though!
I love the fresh look, if the Strike force had spent months in space then landed, of course their armour and vehicles would be prestine. Equally, they would damaged after 1st contact, but I actually like both schools of thought no reason for every Marine to look the same is there?

Well got another squad finished off, this time even more sternguard! The only thing that can kill threadomancy, a picture!
There is more stuff thats WIP but this bit of the forum is not for WIP so will stay on my blog for the time being. The original army build is nearing completion now so hopefully in a couple of weeks i'll get some proper photos sorted and some army shots before moving on with the "additions"
It's actually a good question because GW and various writers have changed various elements over the years. Sometimes scouts are lead by a Scout Sergeant who is a scout (kind of a senior-most scout position) and other times it is a Regular Marine Sergeant with many years experience, who has put away his Power Armour and leads the squads teaching them as a mentor like Sgt Telion.
They get a special vehicle Land Speeder Storm, they can only use, but for some reason it's not a transport for them?
There are then all the usual exceptions to the normal rules, Space Wolves are weird as they are Elites and aren't new marines but senior already qualified as Full marines when they were Blood Claws, they get some nice options like Special Weapons. Also The Black Templars have a system rather like a Knight and Squire, where a Neophyte (scout) works in a Tactical squad with an Initiate (full Marine) confused yet? So you end up with a huge unit of troops with Tactical Marines and Scouts in one Integrated blob of power.
So Squads tend to look like this.
There are also books where Scythes of the Emperor Scouts get fired by a Boarding Torpedo into the sphincter of a Tyranid Bioship (this is no facetious statement this is exactly what happened as is actually the Authors words, I-gak-yee-not.
Spoiler:
CYNICAL FUTURE PREDICTION: - In the future, GW will give the Blood Angels something called "BLOOD SCOUTS" which will be called Balanced and each one will have the statline of Mephiston. If anyone accuses them of being Over-powered GW will cite " They are really weak compared to Grey Knight Scouts which we are releasing next month and they have Draigo's statline so it's all balanced yeah?
Anyway back on Track, Scythes are the Coolest Chapter because they literally threw themselves under the "Tyranid Bus" to slow them down and pretty much and willingly condemned themselves to death by literally fighting to the last man with the sole aim of reducing the Tyranid Fleet as much as possible. So Grim Dark!!!
