Break in hiatus 2: The Tempestening Scones

by | Mar 28, 2014

Hey all,

Firstly, still on hiatus...sorta. Put it to ya this way: I'm procrastinating for an exam >.> and that most of my miniature stuff + paints are packed away in CARDBOARD BAWKSES (no, I won't stop doing that :P). I'll get back to study soon but viewing .pdf files online does lend itself remarkably well to distractions. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCatsLarge.jsp?catId=cat440160a&rootCatGameStyle=wh40k

Also, the first round of Astra Millipede Million Militantrum Militarum stuff is up for preorder. An impulse buy save was made and subsequently failed (5+ on a D6, alright?) so I've pre-ordered a box of the new STORM TROOPERS as they have been, are now and ever shall be called, regardless of GW's "I iz speak gud latin goth werds" naming of things.

One thing I like about the kit, from viewing the sprues is the amount of heads. I count 9 berets, 8 helmets -the 17 total as per rumours. Having found an old beret storm trooper in a job lot a while ago, I can now make a full squad of 10. Maybe hardened vets, as I've almost 3 full squads of the usual stormies.

 :D Disseminate them among your guardsmen and make MOAR storm troopies. Plus the extra HELLGUNS not 'hot-shot lasguns' (an LED version of the usual guardsman flashlight) will come in handy for plastic storm troopers. The arms do look sorta interchangeable with regular guardsmen plus the style of the new stormies looks like they'll blend nicely with Vostroyans. Possibly even Mordians as both regiments are quite the bunch of fancypants.

That being said though, snap up a 5-man metal squad while you still can, as they're cheaper if you want a bare-bones storm trooper squad. 

Well that was quick. All storm trooper related stuff is gone, except for two styles of Kasrkin. Also, a whole lost of other metal stuff vanished quite recently too.


Also, batman has histoplasmosis ;D *non-sequitur*
