CL_Mission Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (edited) Some new Squat Prospectors for Necromunda These guys will be plastic! I think these guys look a little dopey but in a good way, they're really charming. I wonder if they will be big enough to suitably stand in for the Einhyr Hearthguard Edited October 8 by CL_Mission phandaal, Ayatollah_of_Rock_n_Rolla, Pacific81 and 13 others 8 1 2 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384194-exo-kynn-squat-prospectors-for-necromunda/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 The Necromunda Redone Squats vs Votann Short Space Wolves aesthetics is the best example of how bad main 40K has lost its way and how nice faithful reboots of old stuff can look.

TheMawr Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 This is the first time I indeed like the squats equivalent more than the votann ( wich I generally find much better designs.) not in the least because when replacing hearthguard they become an aesthic link between the main troops and the more miner focused designs ( berzerkers and big gun toting ones.) I wonder if its as easy as a head switch.

Lord Marshal Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (edited) I think these are the first NecroSquat models that aren't doing much for me. I loved the Exo-Driller because it was a big, chonky suit of armour that contrasted the generic Squats. Shrinking it down on these guys just makes them seem a bit... dumpy? They look awkward, but not in a 'big suit of armour way', more the proportions seeming kind of off - especially the guy in the bottom centre. I know they're probably meant to be a throwback to the egg-shape of the old Exo-Armour but... ehh. When the models are in-hand I'll probably have a higher opinion of them, that's usually what happens.

Dark Shepherd Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (edited) Not sure the paintjob helps these guys, IMO they need to be more metallic or oldhammer, hazard stripes on the fists maybe Little robots are awesome Edited October 8 by Dark Shepherd Pacific81, Brother Lunkhead and Dr_Ruminahui 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384194-exo-kynn-squat-prospectors-for-necromunda/#findComment-6069465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post it, the cabling means its definitely 40k. Ive got my speculation image ready ( and to remain on this topic, indeed these squats dont knock out rumor engines.. however they did say there is more new squats for Necromunda being revealed soon.)

Done. Personal, I quite like these new Squat kits*, the fact that they're coming in as plastic is fun but I'm also wondering what the other reveals will be for them? A more faithful rendition of the old trikes? *not enough though to be deterred from looking at the enforcers Brother Lunkhead 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384194-exo-kynn-squat-prospectors-for-necromunda/#findComment-6069470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Techwisp Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 If we end up get Ironhead Squat Trikers, and more importantly they if come in Plastic, then we're quite a way in to being able to proxy an entire LoV army as Ironhead Squats with minimal kitbashing. On the subject of more models tho, I feel GW could definitely make a quick buck off some more "Champions and Prospects" kits for the other Factions in the game (mainly Enforcers, Ironhead Squats and Ash Wastes Nomads, since I think Corpsegrinder Cults already have Prospects?) unless by some incredibly weird twist of fate the Exo-Kynn ARE the Ironhead Squats Prospects. It just feels like a niche that GE have strangely left open.

Bryan Blaire Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (edited) GW found the Saturnine Terminator template, stuck the pauldrons on permanently, then made them stumpy? They look do look pretty nice though!

Petitioner's City Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Fun and unexpected - although I really hope there will be more for Secundus as a setting rather than being left behind after a quick release blitz - the Underhells campaign requires some extra things which it would be a shame to not see in plastic, given the amazing modelling opportunities (ie the hauliers who take non-malstrain gangs to Secundus). Also Secundus itself is a rich setting, which could really lead to more horror and wyrdness, more radiation and mutation, more of a true "under" feeling.

Pacific81 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 These look awesome! Has any release date for them been mooted? Great to hear some other bikes are on the way too, as a contrast to the Votann hover bike pioneers. There aren't a great range of proxies available at the moment that fit well with the more modern Votann/Ironhead aesthetic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384194-exo-kynn-squat-prospectors-for-necromunda/#findComment-6069674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Really like these - would love to see them done in a different paint scheme though, this colour and similar shades of it seem to be the standard go to at GW these days!

Timberley Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I do like these models. Like most of the Squats in Necromunda they're a bit of a call back to the OG Squats, so I really hope they do make some bikers at some point! The dumpy Dwarves IN SPAAACE aesthetic appeals more than the Votann's high-tech armour and such. I've thought about getting a Hernkyn Yaegirs team as a proxy for a tricked out Squat gang, or as crew for my Secundus Ferryman transport. I also discovered in my anti-grav Hekaton conversion that the wheels from the Hekaton work well as a replacement for the rear Pioneer bike anti-grav (minimal conversion work required), but the front wheel needs to be slimmer, to fit the forks. Squat trikes may well be on the cards again!

Captain Idaho Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 You know, if GW chose a more industrial paint scheme they'd look suitably grim dark and not as jarringly cartoony. With a view to them painted such, they'd look pretty cool.
