As the title implies. First up, some 99th Aleutian 'Seahawks' (who you can read about here). Two troopers of the 99th, each with the signature Aleutian shoulder-stripe. The flame trooper also has a helmet stripe, denoting in-field gallantry. Veteran weapons squad, denoted by their dress berets and the Tempestor's gorget. In-game, Platoon Command Squads with lots of guns. Command unit, designated by bronze trim and the commander's full-length honour stripe. Medicae have fully white pauldrons. Commissars. Utterly pointless in a Scion army. Only take them because every single formation makes them mandatory. Taurox Prime. Aleutian regiments make use of these vehicles in amphibious assault roles by pressurising the hulls, and greatly appreciate their long-range anti-tank firepower. An early photo from when this was all I had painted, hence the lack of shoulder stripes. I painted them on the commander, then liked them so much everyone got them. Semi-modern image of the army on display at GW Wolverhampton, where it still sits. You can see the volley gunners in the command squad which were stand-ins for the plasma gunners, who have now taken that spot.

Looks cool!
Will you be adding to the seahawks? Or are they done?

Nice. I've been looking forwards to seeing more modern scions and tauroxes painted up by people. I was doing a little work on my Taurox the other day but I've had to pause due to losing one of the parts.

Sounds like we'll have plenty of updates to look forward to then.

That's cool they're on display at GW shop. I'm liking the go faster stripe on the Taurox Prime
