heres one of 5 and a mechanicus squat

LOL! :lol: those are so silly

i like them better than my Imperial Fists....im going to paint them yellow :lol:


one of my conversions will be one of these sneaking up on an IW terminator and shoving his halberd up his crotch

thats brilliant!

Oh no, oh god no, oh no no no no no no!!!!!

SQUATS!!!! Everyone run for your lives!!!!!

scary part is....

ive got 3k points of my stunties with big guns! muwhahahaha!

Selling copies is totally against IP and could land us in a lot of trouble. Posts edited.

Well then.....

[Scream]Eggs with Legs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/Scream]

Ah Squats. So long since I've seen them. I think that's a good thing.

Thanks for that.
;)

its only fitting....im gonna say they were recuited from an extreme gravity world and were so different from the regulars they had to be put into squads by themselves ;)

WIP Squat Sniper, barrel will be extended soon

squat codex in case anyones interested

this is the most recent one so not legal in 4th ed. games
Codex

I like the sniper cool model.
I have a couple squats I want to use as part of my Inquistors Retinue.

im using soem for =][= stormtroopers, GK termies, retinue, etc.

i love squats...BRING THEM BACK!!!

I know you've been told of the book Space Marine.
Once you get your hands on that you need to get
The Inquisition War Triology(Draco,Harlequin,Chaos Child) it is kind of the continuation so to speak as the main character in Space Marine is a Capt of a company in the Inquisition War.
Has alot of Squat stuff and the old Emperors "Kids"(Sensei) fluff and of course plenty of Rogal Dorn worshiping goodness :lol:

thanks, ill order them asap

Would maybe using a few dwarf models and making them 40kish
count as squats?Or is there more to it? :huh:

The WiP Sniper is one of the metal Dwarf Thunderers, so to a certain extent you can just 40k Dwarfs (or 30K as the case is here).

Only problem is that Squats had Power and Terminator Armour equivalents - the Exo Armour seen above being one example, so 30King Dwarfs may be fairly difficult as they'd need armour, bikes etc.

yea, but most are easily converted...simply add a lasgun...ill take some pics of my converts and more real squats later

There are some tasty Confrontation minis which are essentially steampunk dwarves with unwieldy guns - perfect for Squats!

They don't look like little humans either, they have oversized heads and eyes, rather like something out of Manga... I will try to post pics.

dont bother! those minis are disgusting! my game store had them on sale 1.50$ a pack and nobody bought any

Any progress here Rogal?

Your saying that Rackham miniatures are horrible? Get out of my house you heathen! Hehe.

The Dwarves of Mid-Nor aren't the nicest of Rackham's miniatures but they are still cool.

*Wanders off to stroke Wolfen models and mutter under breath*

Horrible? Those minis blow steaming chunks out of WOTC and a lot of GW's stuff... some of their stuff is on a par with Forgeworld!

Don't get confused between 'poor minis' and 'sculpts you don't personally like'. If you were selling Confrontation minis at £0.75 GBP over here, people would be taking your hand off... I can't be held responsible for poor taste on the part of your local store's customers! :D

LOL

and no Weiss no progress....im working on some troopers and a painting a few exo suits....


and on an unrelated topic ;) hows a good way to paint resin? because when i paint the silver it shows up odd looking

First of all you need to make sure you've cleaned the models fully as they have lubricant on them which allows them to be removed from the moulds that they're made in.

Clean them in warm water, with a little washing up liquid and an old toothbrush.

Other than that they should paint up just as normal.

I learned the hard way about cleaning resin before painting - got halfway through doing my WE dread and his face fell off... :blink:

A quick dunk in soapy water usually suffices for stuff like the RS MK4 head sprues but for full casts or bigger kits you will need a toothbrush.

I had a similar experience with the Titan Techpriest - painted him for a mate's Guard army as an Enginseer. Spent hours painting him, finally got him finished and went to bed. When I got up in the morning he was nearly naked again. I cried a little.

oh i washed them, and the paint went on fine.but for some reason the resin makes the metallic look.....strange....ythats the only wayt to describe it really

w00t my other squats came in! 8 bikes, 2 are heavy weapons+1 living ancestor sidecar. ive decided to painyt my squat bikers like hells angels....

30 squat warriors, 8 sergeant varients, a command squad, 2 commander varients, 8 specail weapons, 4 heavy weapons, a squat assault marine with jumpack, a biker warlord, 2 hearthguard, and some random RT squats

ill post pics later

as promised

First is my home made Squat from about a year ago


A Squat Trooper, 1 of 30


2 Different Squat Officers


Going from left to right-Standard Bearer, Commander, and 2 hearthguard


2 Squat Commissars, a "Hells Angel" Squat, and the Hells Angels commander




wadda yall think?

Looking good man, get them painted!

with the squat warriors should i stick to the red/black scheme or do an Inquisitorial granite grey with deep red trim?

I like the red-black, but go with what you feel looks best!

Personally, I'd say stick to the 40k minis... converted WFB Dwarves look like exactly what they are... :D

yea but that was a year ago, before the guy showed up selling 6k points of Squats....all of which im buying

ok ive started a few for test schemes onthe squats

1: black with red trim as above
2:Granite Grey with deep red trim
3:a tan camo with brown trim
4:yellow with red trim(high gravity world Imperial Fists XD)
5:Green Camo with Brown or green trim
6:a mix of all with tattered clothing to represent the surviving Squats banding together as a force....as in several Squat clans

heres a test of a dessert/wasteland scheme...
