Forge World Brass Scorpion of Khorne!

Yeah, I would say it looks more Necron than Chaos/Khorne.

Needs more skulls (although I would probably say that about every release).

I like the second one more

Nice color scheme and great work on metalics!
The only thing I think is not finished yet is the base.

IMHO this new model from FW goes away from the way set by GW. It seems to depart from the feel of a Khorne army.

Judging by this model it's not obvious why it was made for this army. Of course, I knwo about the Brass Scorpions of chaos, but to me scorpions would be more fitting to a Necron army, with its desert/egyptian connections.

Generally I don't see the link between a scorpion and the Khorn. And the style of the model doesn't change it.
That's why I am not really convinced by it

@Marek - but the diorama isn't bad

@Ana - well, I am surprised I didn't think about it. You're right - the very concept of a scorpion machine should fit better to a necron army than a khorne one. Khorne should be all about chains and skulls

I like the paint job of the Forge World Scorpion, but not so much the model. While I agree with the idea that a scorpion would be more in tune with the Necron Armies, the various version built from the chaos war machine looks more appropriate for the Khorne armies. Maybe that conversion with the pincers from the forgeworld model??? Of course decorated with the appropriate skulls, chains, barbed wire and various decomposing bodies. . .

...which the model doesn't have.

As it looks now, I can say I like the paintjob, but the model's style suggests dark eldar or necrons more than khorne.

the converted versions were more in khorne style.
