Pigshead Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Not yet, got one more job on the go, hopefully finish that tomorrow. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297627-astra-squatarium/page/3/#findComment-3985471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigshead Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ok, so I ran out of sepia wash, and I get married on Friday , so I can't really finish what I promised, which is a Wyvern WITH a squat crew.... but the wyvern is finished, just not the crew, so tomorrow I'm gonna post a pic of the Wyvern, then a few group shots, and then probably disappear from the forums for a week or two while I readjust to married life. Luckily, my wife to be is extraordinarily accepting of my inner geek, and she actually thinks this whole 40k obsession I have is "cute", so I don't see marriage affecting my hobby too much. So, wish me luck, see you on the other side of matrimony!

SW1 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Aye ... Congratulations on getting hitched. Have a fun bedding in to married life.

WarriorFish Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Don't forget to make a joke about who wears the trousers in the relationship.

Pigshead Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well it was an excellent day, much fun was had by all, but now back to the important task of all things Squat!The Wyvern should be finished this week, just a final touch to the wyvern crew which should be tomorrow, and then the group shot. Had three 750 point games this evening. First against Crimson Slaughter, was going really well, Pask chewed up a rhino and then it's possessed crew. Following up with getting immobilized, then being stuck out of range of everything. Before a last minute objective grab by a forgefiend brought Pask a target which he then failed to finish off. Before the same forgefiend charged my remaining infantry and then ran them down, winning the game for Chaos. But the second game saw him get some sort of proxy vengeance, as he killed a razorback, 7 bikers, 2 assault marines and a Chaplain, making my opponent to concede on turn 4! Yay! And then I finished the evening by getting totally overwhelmed by orks.... it was a massacre.... need flamers.....must go out and by new models with flamers....

WarriorFish Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Pask is a bit expensive for 750pts, if he's taken out the result as you found can be disastrous! On the other hand if things go well... he's nasty. You can never go wrong with flamers in a Guard army in my experiences :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297627-astra-squatarium/page/3/#findComment-3994395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Glad I found this thread! I love any opportunity to follow a Squats-based project, and IG flavored just adds to the appeal! Looking forward to more. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297627-astra-squatarium/page/3/#findComment-3994573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigshead Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Greetings from Zhufbar (or what's left of it! Fluff spoiler!"It's been a quiet few months for the Zhufbarian 75th, what with the release of a new Dark Angel Codex demanding I paint more ravenwing, but I'm back now with more squat related fun.First up, a squad of mantics fantasy dwarves whose rifles bear an uncanny resemblance to squats las guns, these guys sometimes run as a second infantry platoon, and sometimes as a mass blob of conscripts, or dishonoured squats for my fluff.http://i.imgur.com/Xlm6Dyh.jpgTrooper close uphttp://i.imgur.com/lvGaVYV.jpgSarg close up, because Squats love hammers.http://i.imgur.com/yUQut5b.jpgAnd then adding some heavier firepower to the army is this...http://i.imgur.com/kHIULsA.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/sqkjxHi.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/088ZlIf.jpgI especially like the confused looking chap on the rear, I like to think he's reading the Wyvern's operating manual and grumbling to himself about how Squats could have built it better.http://i.imgur.com/qhdvmz7.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297627-astra-squatarium/page/3/#findComment-4150764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Awesome to see an update on these guys. Really like the cleaner paint job, looks like Squats know how to look after their war weapons! You've done a good job with the Mantic Dwarves as well, I'm not a fan of the sculpt but you've made them work. I like the characterful things like the Squat perusing the manual as well. I must say the Wyvern isn't really heavier firepower, though. Not to these guys, they really deserve something a bit more beefy. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297627-astra-squatarium/page/3/#findComment-4150794 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigshead Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Really? You mean it's not Rough Riders (Dwarves on Doombulls)?

Pigshead Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Pretty much! But with some slight alterations to make them more 40k-like. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297627-astra-squatarium/page/3/#findComment-4150838 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vel'Cona Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Nice work! I like that you kept the IG hardware the same but simply swapped in your Squats to maintain the theme. I'm interested to see what you come up with for Rough Riders (suspecting KoW Brock Riders).

Feyralwolf Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Great looking stuff! I only just started thinking about having some Squats around when I ran across an old White Dwarf #300... and read about the White Dwarf! Given that I'm mostly looking at an offshoot of the Wolf Brothers (Long story and obscure lore), having them with the embodiment of the spirit of the dwarves (squats) made me giggle... the 1+ armour save helped too...

Pigshead Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 It's been a bit quite here, I can only apologise. But the demands of the Dark Angels 3rd Company, my other marine army, and a weird experiment with Tyranids have taken my attention away from my beloved Zhufbarians. I aim to rectify that soon. I've got another Leman Russ done, and another in the pipeline, and then it's on to some bigger guns... Once I've decided which to go for, of course...

Pigshead Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ok, as promised, some more of the 75th Zhufbarians. Not overly happy with the paint job on this one, but in my defense it was an ebay salvage job (those squats have to take what they can get, since they techincally don't exist anymore, the munitorum is not overly fond of issuing new equipment).http://i.imgur.com/2G70Csz.jpgAnd a rear view...http://i.imgur.com/SSk1X41.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297627-astra-squatarium/page/3/#findComment-4281011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
