Heh, I thought the twin machine guns were meant to go that way up! They look better that way up to me than the alternative I assembled the Skorpions then painted them, but I am a total speed-painter these days as I've too many real world demands on my time and yet struggle to stop myself buying models! Assembling before painting definitely made it a bit harder to get at some of the spots between the grav sleds and the main body, but each of the 4 Skorpions probably took around 15 minutes max to paint (excluding drying time). They took much longer to clean and assemble. I've got the other 2 finished now as well - so got 4 grav tanks and 3 grav APCs. That should cover me for the moment Here's my first attempt at a card for the Skorpions. I may have to figure some way to make them significantly poorer and cheaper stats wise or I'll never get to field all 4 of them! They just look like medium tanks to me - anybody think they should be lights or scout?

I've added 4 two-man Crusty weapon teams, 2 mortars and 2 GPMGs. Plus another 6 heavy weapon Crusties, 4 more leaders, and 6 more rifle carrying grunts. This completes my Crusty force! Tadaa!

The Skorpion looks like a small Medium to me. I too was unsure if the time came to make it a light or medium.
Great looking group of Crusties. I didn't know they had Heavy Weapon crusties. Had I known I would have bought them instead of the slowly growing MicroPanzer line of aliens.

Your Crusty force is looking good. i would go with Light on your Scorpions to get them all on the field.

After doing nothing hobby related apart from work on the Grunt'o'Matic this last month and a bit, I finally got to paint some models last night and Monday night. Firstly, there's my Gruntz UNSC commander. Unlike the Light bipedal mecha that I use as my Crusty commander, I wanted to have a small command team represent the human commander - explaining the extra wounds and general effective bad-a$sery of the cinematic-mode commander. There's a comms guy, someone reading a computer display and a heroically posed dude going 'Over there!'. The three guys are singly based on pennies so I can use them as normal single infantry, then I made a magnetic base using three small rare earth magnets, green stuff, and a 30mm steel washer. So they can be added to or removed from the base as needed. As well as those three guys, there's another 20 infantry - 4 SAWs, 3 Missile launchers 8 leaders and 5 rifle grunts IIRC. Remember the before photo? These guys are all painted now except for maybe 3 or 4 (I think) in my locker in the friendly local gaming store. Score I also cracked yesterday and ordered 4 medium grav tanks, a siler super heavy (it looks awesome in a card of Robin's I saw), four earth-doom 35mm power-suits, and 10 normal 15mm power-armour. All from Khurasan. Then of course CMG announce their summer sale but there's no way I can justify that as well!

Thanks I did up a unit card for the command team (http://gruntomatic.com/gom/unit/643) I really like the idea of my human 'commander' being a small command team and I gave them bullet time to represent the sort of watching your back benefit that a fire team gets versus lone soldiers.

I got 25 Khurasan Space Demons finished off last night. I've got a fair few more of these guys and an Space Demon King & Queen. I think they could be a fun close combat squad for my GZG Crusties, or even for the UNSC - dodgy human types did keep seeing them as potential bio-weapons.
