40K Zoat

[Scalene]

Next week I’ll be meeting up with some Oldhammerers (N.O.G.G.) at Warhammer World for a bit of Rogue Trader skirmish. Nothing says Rogue Trader like a zoat (well, maybe slann), so I’ve dusted this one off and cleaned up a few details. Along with some Eldar renegades, he’ll be taking the field against whatever the 41st millenium turns up. There were only ever four 40K zoat models. I’ve got this one and two of the bolter ones. Zoats obviously weren’t popular at the time, but I love them. The gnarly muscle, the organic armour, the scale pattern, and the sheer weight of one of these beasts when you pick it up, all works for me.

The weapon is a melti-multa isnt it?

Beautiful painting of a iconic miniature.
I think the catalouge says missile launcher.

/Edit
apparently catalouge is not really clear:

1991 catalogue says it's a missile launcher but I've read Multi melta somewhere (the look of the model is closer to a multimelta too, should check in the book of the astonomican)

Ver nice model by the way, NIck Bibby goodness once again !

I had the set when i was a kid. Went to the jumble sale for £0.

I remember i played a game 4 zoat level 4 psychers vs my friend´s eldar army. I was obsessed with the temporal distort psychic power in those days. Thought it was a sure winner. Always lost tho .

Great paintjob there scalene.

Looks gorgeous, I love the organic looking brown material that looks draped over him.

For reference, whilst the catalogue lists the weapon on the zoat as a missile launcher, the white dwarf 141 army list (pretty sure it was 141, 140-something) for Tyranids had it listed as a Barbed Strangler rather then a Missile Launcher.
