Two More Red Scorpion Space Hulk Terminators

Click on these photos for the full image. They're huge.

Mike Hughes has sent us pictures of two more Space Hulk Terminators he has painted in the Red Scorpions color scheme. Mike Hughes is originally from Buffalo, NY. He worked under me at Games Workshop Walden Galleria 1999-2001 (I think I have those years right, haha). He was often referred to as "the painting slave" because he could churn out models 5x faster than any of us (and 10x faster than me!) through effectively streamlining the process of any color scheme we discussed and targeted highlighting. Needless to say, he was practically tethered to the painting table at all times. His greatest weakness at home has always been brainstorming an exciting and effective technique to carry out a color scheme and then getting 5-10 models into that army and then scrapping or selling the models. I once remember a group of kids coming into the store all excited about models they found in the garbage in their neighborhood and I was like, "Where'd you get these!? These are Mike's!" He honestly had just thrown them all out. It should be noted that Mike has also placed at the Baltimore Golden Demon - when he isn't trying to speed up and streamline he can totally knock it out of the park. He currently lives in Japan.

All Is Quiet

It was a quiet summer here at 2nd City Warzone. The Nerd Night Crew have all been busy with other aspects of their lives and even our regular Monday night gaming took a backseat for most of the summer. Scott's been painting slow and steady like always and he's posted some beautiful shots of his daemons. Eric was working on some marines and then started working on a Plague Marine army. Matt I'm sure is messing around with any of the dozens of games he owns in and plays and he gave us some great Epic pics. Me, well I've done a whole lot of nothing all summer. I played 2 or 3 games of 40K I think, and I got dragged into playing D&D a couple times. I don't think I picked up my brush more than once or twice either. The gaming and hobby front has been quiet indeed, and I am the worst culprit. Luckily, Scott has been chastising me regularly on Facebook in an effort to get me back on track. haha. After constant harassment, and the well timed announcement that registration for Adepticon has begun, I finally put brush to plastic the other day. Additionally, I started scrutinizing the latest rumors more thoroughly than I have the last few months and I'm getting hyped again. Of course, there is more to come on all of that, but in the meantime I wanted to show off these stunning Red Scorpion Space Hulk Terminators that Nerd Night friend and ally, Mike Hughes, just showed off to us. Enjoy!
