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

[Galron]

With an all or mostly scions force, these guys may not be fantastic but at least they add 30 more dudes that are storm troopers since the reinforcements nerf which will keep you on the field longer. Now if you count the kasrkin as storm trooper types(as i do) you can have 135 guys on the field with 105 of them deep striking. Starting to catch up with line guard in numbers.

I have been thinking about it but the armor is too different. I do like the weapon load outs though. 

 

Sorta went on spending spree of sorts yesterday...I WAS LEFT UNATTENDED TO LONG....

 

Purchased an old 6th Edition Militarum Tempestus Codex

 

 

Then started hunting down bits for upcoming Taurox Prime Conversions and Tauros Venator Conversions

 

 

Spotlights x5 (3 Taurox Primes & 2 Tauros Venator)

 

 

2 HKs for Tauros Venator

 

 

alternative spotlight/ Smoke Launchers for Tauros Venator

 

 

Multilasers for Tauros Venators if I decide to not take lascannons

 

 

Another squad of Aquilons

 

 

Another box of Scions

 

And a bunch of 28.5mm bases since I am gonna update the Scions from 25mm to 28.5mm bases

 

Plus some stuff from Etsy 

 

And as I was trying to do a quick tidy of my hobby desk, I realized I only have 35 of my 40 Scions built, so I have to build 5 more. With the 5 I ordered last night, and picking up another box Thursday at LGS, That is 50 Scions but 6 are going to Valkyrie #2 as gunners, and 4 for Venator crew, so 44 Scions and 4 of those will probably be Vox operators alternatives. So 40 Scions...for now

While fiancé had an appointment with one of the younger kids, I watched the other ones and we built models (Aquilons, Eldar, Necrons and Blood Angels).  Then we had dinner and after I finished building my squad 

 

 

 

Basing left to do. But before that I do that I need to finish my objective counters and base them too. 

[WAR]

While do some online training last night for 2nd job I managed to knock out this 

 

 

objective counters from kill team and necromunda boxes. Need to do bases and then attach them and camo tarps.

 

containers and Nuke are for future scenario games 

 

also since I have 2 Aquilons with bare heads I knocked those out too

 

[WAR]

Got some work done on my bases 

 

 

made the mistake of asking my regular opponent @The_Oni_of_Hindsight should I add barb wire or sand bags … he responded yes .  My mental response was 

 

 

after adding barb wire and sandbags followed up with some busted wood and more bricks 

 

I did start aquiline based too

 

 

 

and the 28.5 mm based arrived for the scions so I started those bases too

Why the bigger bases? Did I miss a base change?
P.S Victoria miniatures still has a wheeled taurox kit, physical and stl

The aquilons are on 28.5mm bases as standard. The scions take up so much of the 25mm base and makes it feel cramped and I believe GW will increase their base size in the future.

 

I wanted a 6 wheel as I feel the 4 wheel kit looks off. Also don’t have a 3D printer so stl would have be sent to a non 40K playing friend to do my prints.

Huh so I did miss the base size creep

[WAR]

Yes and no, I have heard the Cadian Command squad is and a few other modesl are on 28.5mm but base infantry is on 25mm.

Can confirm, that's the official base hand outs with the current boxes.
