Funny thing - I actually just discovered them earlier today! Someone had mentioned them in a post on the Tallarn Desert Raiders Facebook group and I looked them up!

I may try them out if I need to do anymore head swaps...

Northstar had a pic of the frostgrave new plastic infantry with sci fi guns ,they looked ideal for tallarn penal legion.
See if this works?

Those do look pretty sweet!

I don't know that really need any more infantry, though... I have enough of the original guys to do fifteen infantry squads and six or seven special weapon squads - I just need to get them all PAINTED! Even when I have, I'm not entirely sure when I'd ever field all the guys I have!?

Now that I think about it, I could pick up some of those guys just to use as pirates or rebels or chaos cultists on desert planets where the Tallarn might be deployed...?

I love all the new additions since I last looked.

The idea of knocking up a few Sentinel conversions is always tempting as I love that kit so much.

As for getting more models: If you already have enough for 15 squads, I would leave it at that.
As I have put together a sizeable IG force in the past and gave up with adding any more standard squads after painting the first seven, I am warning you from experience.
I doubt you will complete 15 and you will almost certainly never use anywhere near that amount.
Just concentrate on what you have and see how far you get with them whilst adding more 'interesting' stuff to the force.

Just off the paint table... Not Tallarn per se... but sometimes the Astra Militarum are called upon to support an Inquisitor and his staff...

The inquisitor I've had for 25+ years and am just repainting - the ministorium staff are more recent acquisitions. They maybe be fielded with my Tallarn at some point. More likely they will show up in the Rogue Trader RPG game I'm starting up next week.

Had some good lighting conditions for taking pictures of miniatures (overcast, but bright = good light but no harsh shadows) so I got out and took some new pics of the force so far...

I put some more pics of the individual units on a page on my blog:

A great set of figures you’ve got there!

Brilliant!
Looking great so far.

Thanks Guys!

Here are this week's additions - two more Special Weapon Squads! I need more Special Weapon Squads like I need another hole in my head, but they're so small, I feel like I'm getting more done. I can say "Hey, I got TWO squads done this week!" I'll take what I can get to stay motivated!

And a little hint of things to come...

Lovely shot seeing the army together - fantastic work, sir!

Intrigued by the Warhound. I've never looked up how titans work in 40K. What happens when the reactor blows up? Roughly translating from Epic to 40K, I'm guessing a large chunk of the table is completely cleansed of both friend and foe?

It's pretty weak in 8th Edition.

If the Warhound Titan is reduced to 0 wounds, you roll a d6 before removing the model from the table. On a 5+ it suffers a "Cataclysmic Explosion" and each unit within 3d6" suffers..... d6 Mortal Wounds... that's it...

Lovely work. Love the Titan, just finished mine off and have started on the Reaver now. I need to get a Shadowsword for my Tallarn but should really finish the baneblade first

Very nice. Very Saddam Republican Guard. Hope these fight harder!

Like the camoflage. And the writing on the inquisition retinue’s books.
