I did previously describe the Scourge when John fought them on the shield world, but it has been quite a few parts since then.
Here's the original description of the Scourge or the enemy as they were then known as, from Part 9 of the story:
The alien suddenly turned to face John, arms raised, knocking the weapon from his hands. Now that he was closer John could make out far more detail of the dark armour than before.
The head was a series of angled plates or panels with two red slit-shaped eyes that were devoid of pupils or anything similar, but it looked as though this was part of the armour and not the aliens' eyes.
The mouth area was another collection of angled plates as was the majority of the armour, but unlike the rest of its bulkier body, the arms seemed thinner almost insect like in nature with a single row of small jagged barbs where each elbow was located.
John had seen enough, and powered a single fist as hard as he could into the aliens' angled face.
I probably didn't paint enough of a picture, but rest assured the next part will portray a better image--with a lot more detail.
In fact if you imagine a bulkier darker and more dealy looking version of the EOD armour varient for the Spartan player on Halo 3, you'll be a step closer to seeing them in your head.
