Create a Character for the Red Scorpions Contest Final Entry (and then some!)

Here’s my entry (along with the previously posted fluff and rules) for Red’s Corps Create a Character for the Red Scorpions contest!

Commander Sebastos Aran, Red Scorpions 8th Company Captain

First the man himself, Commander Sebastos Aran.  And then a few gratuitous shots of his command squad.

I’m kind of upset at the picture quality.  I’m fairly certain the snow effect is a result of a dirty lens. It could be the clear coat showing up fuzzier than it looks in person, though.

Here’s two bonus shots of the standard bearer, Brother Tressos, which I am simultaneously entering into the SistersofBattle.org contest:

Of course I’d have to plug my blog on my minis!

I’m not really a fan of doing non-metallic metal painting, but I always seem to do it for my contest entries.  All told, I used parts from 8 different boxes:
Red Scorpions Vanguard Veterans
Space Marine Assault Squad
Space Marine Tactical Squad
Space Marines Command Squad
Space Wolves Pack
Blood Angels Death Company
Grey Knights
Grey Knights Terminators

I’ve got my fingers crossed for a good showing in the contests!
