Can't wait to see your pics Brother!.

I've finished my Psi Titan, except basing, so now back to miniminimarheens.

One Legion Aerial Assault Formation is front of the queue.

I'd have used all GeeDub dudes, but as we know, their sprue mix is unfavorable. 

So here's the WIP:

Minimum Core, plenty of Support.

Awesome! I always thought the idea of the Aerial Assault Formation was really cool, especially with Assault Marines jumping out of Thunderhawks.

I would have done the third THawk as a transport for a third lot of Assaulters, but I need a slot for my Termies and this Formation seems appropriate enough. 

I'm painting the TDA first, 2.5 bases won't take long....

Big question for the brains trust though, I'm away from my books for a couple of days... can my Command squad ride with the Tacticals in the Storm Eagles or does it need its own ride?

As I only play casual they will regardless, but is it legit?

 

Edit: got it, sorted. 

Yep, but my TDA will need to start embarked in a flyer, so no Deep Strike.

I was hoping we would see the Karacnos / Krios by now, but not even a preview as of yet. 
 

I have officially completed my Mechanicum Battlebox, I just need to find the time to break out the light box and take some pictures. I’m also well on my way with the Stalker Constructs, as of today I’m almost done putting down the metal base and the black / red has been completed. I had to grab more Leadbelcher yesterday and ended up walking out the door with yet another Stalker box… I have absolutely no willpower. 

 

Yeah was expecting to see them up for pre order soon. 

 

Looking forward to seeing your stalkers :)

The issue I have with placing Terminators or Tacticals in Thunderhawks is the fact that you need to put the ‘Hawk in Hover Mode and at that point you have a pretty good chance of losing an expensive model pretty quickly.

That’s a good question. I could have sworn you can put a Command Squad in a transport with Troops, but I may actually be wrong on that. Truth be told, I put mine in a transport with my Troops whether it’s technically legal or not, as do my friends.

They’re coming along, albeit very slowly. Whodathunk there would be so much metal on a bunch of robots? lol

Yeah, the hover thing is a huge risk, but it's the only support slot I have left available in 3 formations. 

TBH, they can stay embarked until late game if necessary. They can be mop up/reinforcements once it's safer.

Or failing that, they can just get amongst it and draw fire away from the rest. Don't want them getting caught in a dead Flyer even if they're as cheap as chips.
