RustyFN nailed it exactly. If you are using the turret you do not need those things. In fact, if you used them it would disrupt your process greatly.
You need a shallow pan, bowl, or something to put your empty brass in and an ammo box (or empty factory ammo box) to put your completed rounds in. I use a crochet hoop to corral the empty brass and the bullets.
You will need the scale to check the powder charge your disk drops. The disks usually, but not always, drop a lighter charge than the chart shows. I have found that the humidity, or lack of it will affect the charge weight also. i.e., just because disk #56 dropped xxxgn the last time, doesn't mean it will drop the same this time. But, once you get set up and get your powder measure set the LTC outfit works like a dream.
I loaded for over 30 years before I bought a tumbler. They are very nice, but not essential. If you wipe the case, and tap it out before putting it in the die they are clean, just not shiney.
