I feel like a little bit purposeless as my next bunch of fresh material for 40k will be delivered in afew days. I still have some stuff left in a box, some more ooP Rhino chassis tanks, but It would be repainting them. I could off course shift to WFB which is clearly my next big challenge as my Pile of shame is huge here. Or anticipate on Epic reboot and paint my old (very old) 6 mm scale armies. But I do not want to embark on something too different like 6 mm and I am a little bit fed up of Space Wolf Blue. As I have just completed 4 of these ooP rhinos last week, I would like something different. So, back to the shoe boxes and bitz and see what we have. A couple of sprues of SM scouts, plus some bitz from Scions and Skitarii will make a great alternative Tempestus unit to be used as SM auxilliaries. I already have plenty (too much) scouts, so I will not regret these. after some cutting and glueing and adjusting, here we have something intteresting: It will be nice getting this deep striking unit on Astra militarum with 2 grenade launchers: something that can be a good objective taker for my still WIP Emperor´s Fist force. And after some additionnal exploration, I gathered various plastic bits which, after more cutting and glueing of these few bits out of the thousand accumulated over the years, allow getting some piles of scraps/objectives. These will perfectly complete my Ash Desert scenery. Even if the last one is mainly Tamiya material, it scales out well with Munitorum drums and crates. I will sum these kit bash and scrap piles into my next vow for the Imperium Stronghold, which will makes 10 extra points for the Scions and 7 points for the scraps (the one with the banner being small it will probably count for 1 only). I also met some Tamiya sand bags. If it is still raining tomorrow, I may use them and add more scenery...
