Lissanne's Rainbow Warriors- Wrap Up! The Rainbow's End

So my 5th OWAC comes to an end, with an unbroken string of victories and no mulligans!  My goal was to complete all the figures necessary for a series of Space Hulk games using Rainbow Warriors, while doing a 2nd legion army full of equality and eco friendly pony loving marines! Rainbows are fun!  Rainbows are hard....I didn't get all the vehicles done I had intended, like another rhino, a land raider and a bike squad, but I am happy with all I did get done!

So here is that Space Hulk list and pics of the finished models!
One Captain with Power Sword and Storm Bolter
Two Sargents with Storm Bolters and Power Swords

One Lieutenent with Storm bolter and Power fist
One Sargent with Storm bolter and Power fist

Chaplain with Storm Bolter and Crozius
Librarian with Storm Bolter and Force Axe
Techmarine with Storm Bolter and Photon (Missile) Launcher
Techmarine with Storm Bolter and Auspex

Two Termies with Heavy Flamers and Power Fists

Two Termies with Assault Cannons and Power Fists

One with Chainfist and Storm Bolter (I have 2, oh well)

One with Lightning Claws, and one with a Thunder Hammer and Force Shield (who was done previously)

And 7 standard terminators with storm bolter and power fist, and the other Sargent (front left) that ended up in the group shot.  There are actually 8 standards here, but what the hey!  More is good.

And those things not on the list

Terminator Hero Rainbow Dash

 The two dreadnoughts Cadence and Cascade

 Drop Pod Chrysalis

Skyrangers (7) and Grav Tank Azure Sky

QT Mark Crusaders (10) and Rhino Celestia

And the Baneblade Tarkus

 

Since I am doing a 12 squad challenge elsewhere, I have the Skyrangers to finish and another 10 person squad of marines.  I painted up a fancy space marine the other week who turned out to be a Primaris, so I think the final squad will be all Primaris.  No one is around in the fluff to stop Cawl from doing it, LOL!  So it isn't really the Rainbow's end, after all.

 This was probably the hardest OWAC for me since the first (cavalry...) but I'm happy to have gotten it done!  An endless line of intricate models all mostly alike is difficult and mind numbing, as it turns out.  But I can finish the last models (for the other challenge) more slowly..  And I have painted so much this month- only one Rainbow Warrior!

So Congratulations to all the finishers, be you a novice or repeat offender.  It never gets easier!

Lissanne's Rainbow Warriors- Wildcard month! (724 pts) Tarkus!

Bet you weren't expecting a scratchbuilt baneblade this month!  Actually, this has been sitting around unpainted and in need of repair for decades. It is from the Baneblade pattern in that old White Dwarf.  I originally built it as a salvage vehicle/stage for my harlequins in 2nd edition, but the game went to 3rd before I could finish. Here are a couple mandatory progress pics of it after I repaired and primed it, first white then blue. 

   Since I won't play any Emperor loving troops, because he's a sexist dick,  there it sat.  Until I picked it up & dusted it off for my Rainbow Warriors. I decided to be somewhat faithful to my Harlequins, so the Tarkus paint job,  if I can ever use it as Harlequin salvage it will still fit!   And this falls under allied forces for the Rainbow Warriors, the Baneblade Tarkus!  And of course the turrets are fully mobile.

The Tarkus on one side is from the official alternate art used in the original ad copy BTW.  The other is from the Gatefold album cover.   I actually wanted to put more scenes from Tarkus on this and originally did, but it looked busy and muddy, so I did armor and rainbows instead.  I ended up painting that top turret 3 times, LOL!  I painted 2 different versions of Eruption, which is just too dark, so more rainbows!.

 Also this month I did the last terminator I need for that Space Hulk list, Spitfire with a flamer, and a chainfist companion Purple Dart to fill out another squad for my 12 squad challenge.  Next month I will go down the actual list and show the finished terminators!   I actually have everything for the series of Space Hulk games now, and a few more besides!

Baneblade 634 pts  Tarkus with Party Cannon!
2 terminators  42 pts each    84 pts
flamer 6 pts

total 724pts

Also, a great sendoff for Pride Month, going out in style!
