40K Space Rangers - Air Support

 The 40K Space Rangers army continues to grow. One day, maybe, I will actually play a game with them.

A new Buzz Lightyear movie is coming out and this time I am ready to snap up any appropriate toys when they are released, rather than try and find them when they are well out of stock.

I have been really lucky and have found they have released a range of planes whose pilots are 30mm high!  Just the right size. I have been sensible and only bought two of the possible four planes.

At $22 each they are a bargain compared to the GW versions at $80 plus. Also, the Disney versions are made, painted and have retractable landing gear and opening cockpits! Awesome.

Screaming through the skies adding some morale boosting noise.

I think I will play (whenever I get around to it) the 07 plane as a Storm Eagle ground attack plane and 15 as either a Ravenwing Dark Talon or a Nephilim Jetfighter air superiority fighter.

Unfortunately the 40K rules I have are from 20 years ago and do not have any aircraft in them so I will have to get the latest version to get rules for aircraft. Luckily the core rules are free so maybe I can get away with them :)

Men of the wastes!

 A new faction for my VSF forces and battles. Men of the Wastes! 

People who live well outside the civilised areas of a post apocalyptic VSF setting. 

Mostly armed with home made muskets and some just have swords and shields. No doubt they will appear suddenly on a field of battle as a supply train is going through a ruined city.
