Militarum Tempestus 54th Psian Jakals - "Hell Rain" Charlie Platoon

[WAR]

With the Sally Fourth: Hobby Challenge and the 12 months of hobby challenge 2022 I figured now would be a good time to start my Ordo Malleus Inquistorial Army I had sitting around along with the excuse to purchase some Scions. This army is more about the rule of cools (as are most of my armies) rather then how it performs on the Table top. Also this army is supplement to my very large Grey Knight army that will be the main focus of the 12 Month Challenge with some other stuff thrown in.

 

Update: 08/29/2024- Well I have been building my Scions past few days and I am switching them from Inquisitorial Stormtroopers to 54th Psian Jackals- Charlie Platoon "Hell Rain"

 

 

 

 

 

Enough words....picture time

A small detour on the modelling front, for which I apologise:  Eisenkern heads?

Correct

[Mazer Rackham]

As a tall, dark lord might say: Impressive, most impressive...looks good. 

 

I'll let people who know what they're talking about take over from here.  

[The Pounder]

Can’t go wrong with a red and black colour scheme!

 

Really like the head swaps too!

[WAR]

Thanks!

Having done my own version of an Inquisitorial Stormtrooper army I have to say, you might be surprised how they do on the table. Lambda Lions and 3-4 Taruox Primes mean a lot of AP -2/3 firepower coming from the regular troopers and their transports. Add in some plasma and melta, and you have a fast, hard-hitting shooty army at close range. I've found them to be really fun, if not especially survivable (given that my other armies are SM/Necron, Scions just aren't in terms of durability). I've found them to be especially good at lower PL/points games- the squads don't cost a lot and pack quite a punch.

 

Looking forward to seeing more!

They look great in the classic colours, Stormtroopers are the perfect addition for Inquisitorial forces for obvious reasons but also account surprisingly well of themselves as Ikka says. Though the limited options mean larger games are hard as noted at more modest points they are in with a good shot :tu:

[WAR]

Well I sat down and resumed working on my Inquistorial Storm Troopers.

Command Squad and Tempestor Prime

Command Squad with Primaris Psyker ,Tech Priest Engineseer, and priest

some Alcolytes and assassins

So for my "Sally Forth" Pledge

I finished highlight reds on the inquistotial models then went to focus on 5 Hell Rain Stormtroopers

Start

[Emperor Ming]

I see you have a handle on your painting skills 

[WarriorFish]

Good to see progress continues, your Inquisitorial forces are growing nicely

 

 

 

Ming, report to the drill square immediately for disciplinary action. Fortunately bad jokes are deemed minor infringements so the ever beneficent commissariat will merely issue the light punishment of 200 lashes from the cat o'seven tails (still can't find the missing ones) and latrine duty for two (2) Terran years.

[WAR]

Lol

[WAR]

Well its that time...to call the Sally Forth hobby challenge completed.

But here is the work in Progress photos in spoilers

Wait....who's that it must be Commissar Kiera Lynx

Love the characters 

 

Troopers, I would prob paint the guns and 2nd power cable a different colour, there's a lot of black there and some different colours would not only make them look better but it would also make them stand out

You are probabl yright....maybe a dark grey dry brush or metallic

[WarriorFish]

Excellent work, the colours have great depth to them especially the reds :tu: A force worth of being the Emperor's!

[WAR]

So long time no update. I've been busy working on my Grey Knights but started working on my Inquisitorial Acolytes, priests and Eversor.  I was able to score another Start Collecting Militarum Tempestus box for cheap so I have 15 scions, 2 Taurox Primes, and Valkyrie to build. I am pretty sure I am going to get wheeled conversion kits for the Taurox Primes. 

[WAR]

So another long pause and new update. I have to take inventory of my Scions, Add 5 models to Alpha squad, and redo my Command squad.   

Plan is still attaching them to Inquisitorial forces along with my voids men and 3 Breacher squads.  Hoping to have more time to work on them. 

[WAR]

909th Hell Rain is still alive and kicking and well they are being expanded and reinforced.....tons of ideas still kick around but the focus of this thread is the Astra Militarum part. 

 

No Model updates but I need to make my Command Squad legal and the other squad too but I did pick up some models and upgrades recently. 

 

From Models and Minis:

 

 

x2 For my Gun Truck Taurox Primes, 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enginseer's new Ride. Plus with all the stuff I have for my GK Techmarine Razorback I can further equip this a recovery/ Repair Vehicle.

Nice. I restarted work recently on my long dormant Inquisitional force as well that hadnt seen the light of day since 8th edition when I paired it with Elysians. Our Tempestus have very similar paint schemes with black armor and red cloth, except I went with gold trim and red stripes. With 10th requiring me to buff up all six squads + command squads I am printing like a fiend. I also added three kaskrin similarly painted to ride in Chimeras and for fluff purposes am bringing an Avenger and Vendetta. Its crazy how much more stuff we have to add to our lists to adapt.

[WAR]

It is crazy and I’m just trying to make it look all cohesive too

[terminator ultra]

the foot troops look great! so much character!

[WAR]

Well after a few months of waiting, Models and Minis did not ship upgrades and have disappeared from social media and their website is gone. So now I am in the process of getting a refund via paypal like many others that have received product from him. 

 

I am hoping to get back to work on the "909th" soon.

That's a real shame :( . Hopefully the shop returns and you can continue the churn :) .

 

I recently made these for M&M... it would be a shame if they never see the light of day :( :
