The first of three squads to add to the Eldar collection.
The Warrior Aspect of the Striking Scorpion epitomises the deadly attributes of their namesake, and they are the most potent of all the close assault aspects. They are merciless killers without exception, revelling in the hunt and the kill.
When they launch their attack, they use shuriken pistols and scorpion chainswords; vicious blades with diamond-toothed edges that mangle and tear flesh.
The signature attack of the Striking Scorpions is made by the weapon pods housed on either side of the warrior’s helmet, known as mandiblasters.
Activated by a psychic pick-up, they fire a hail of needle-thin shards that act as a conductor for a highly charged laser.
A mandiblaster volley and the blistering storm of attacks from the Scorpions that follow it is enough to tear the heart out of an enemy force.
Those are great- long had a soft spot for the Craftworlds forces.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete, so have I.
I am gradually working through all of the old metal “Aspect Warriors” with the “Swooping Hawks” and “Dire Avengers” next. They are a very long term project and have taken a couple of years already.
So far I have completed Dark reapers, Fire dragons (one more Exarch to finish), and Warp Spiders, with the Striking Scorpions due to be finished next week.
Nicely done, Dave! 🙂
