Finished a squad of the new Ironkin Steeljacks for my Trans-Hyperian Alliance.

Finally finished the first lot of Ironhead Squat Prospectors.

I tend to get distracted by other projects so many things go on the back burner 😆

I had to use an original Squat head on this chap. It would be wrong not to have at least one old boy in here ♥️

Testing purples while finally figuring a color scheme for my squats

Kaarl and his heavy stubber, this is another added to the Kaarlverse

I am happy with this one, however I'm still learning to make my 3d prints look better.

As a kid on holiday in the late 90s I bought a copy of Citadel 'Space War' Combat Cards, and was surprised to see alongside the Eldar and Space Marines a couple of characters from a Space Dwarf faction. That was when I first heard of the Squats. I loved the models, but they clearly no longer existed and the only time I ever saw reference to them in White Dwarf was either in relation to curry jokes, being sadly informed that the tyranids ate them or Jervis Johnson explaining that they didn't have a proper niche in the game and so had been written out. So I was glad to see them slip back into the lore (and Forge World Necromunda characters) over the last few years, and I was over the moon when the Leagues of Votann were announced. And when the Necromunda Ironhead Squat Prospectors were released, I had to get some. I did my best to paint them in the colour scheme I recalled from my now (long lost) Combat Cards. Then I looked up images of the old citadel Squat colour schemes and discovered I had nearly completely misremembered. Oh well! I still think my wee men look pretty neat.

40k random idea - New box set called: Tunnel Fight

Two factions facing off in a claustrophobic environment, a series of mines and tunnels below a planets surface.

The factions:

1. Genestealer cult - already kitted out with mining equipment and uniforms.

2. Squats - essentially there space dwarves, tunnel warfare is the perfect setting.

Just an excuse for a squat army starter, but I'd probably buy it.

The Necromunda campaign at my LGS is finishing up so now I'm moving on to painting some of the new stuff for LoV. Finished an Arkanyst Evaluator (a unit name I will definitely not remember) for my Trans-Hyperian Alliance.
