Re: Chaos Squats
Interesting figures there Orjetax. I have seen old Squat armies before, but never Chaos Squats.
Cheers,

Re: Chaos Squats
Are you carbon-based?
Silicon based?
Fungoid?
ARE YOU ONE OF THE SCIENCE FUNGOIDS, FRIEND?
Do not be alarmed. We are not racist. intelligent space-faring bipeds are mostly the same on the inside.
Here, Let us check your organs.
Stop screaming, friend. Stop screaming. STOP SCREAMING OR YOU WILL BE DIPPED INTO AN ACID PUSTULE.
Look at your organs, friend! They have been well-maintained. They look excellent. They would look even better pulsating in the shell of a vat-grown war beast.
(War beast! War Beast! War Beast!)
They would, friend!
You look pale.
Have you tried being re-born from an artificial womb? You have not? You will try! You will be improved!
(Flesh vat! Flesh vat! Flesh vat!)
Do not listen to that one, it is a fool! The artificial wombs are not flesh vats! You will not beg for death as the life-mucus smothers you! Your nervous system will not burn with electric fire as you are dissolved! That is propaganda! It is scurrilous!
WE WILL MELT YOU INTO PROTEINS IN THAT FLESH VAT AND YOU WILL LOVE IT.
Your cells are needed
Your deoxyribonucleic acid will be unspooled.
Your PROTEINS are required.
You will become part of the One True BioMass! Yes, friend, it is true!
It is the Great Work.
WORK work WoRk wOrK
You will be a part of it!
(Apart! Apart! Apart!)
Do you want to be re-born? You could have a prehensile tongue! You could have a second face on your abdomen. It will shriek when you tell lies!
It is possible, friend! It is!
All things are possible through The One True BioMass.
Friend?
You look pale.

Re: Chaos Squats
Oh my good lord, well done! The fluff is absolutely fabulous! The miniatures are truly lovely and deeply horrifying! I need more exclamation points!
Sincerely, though, well done!!! Looking forward to the next installment. You give me ideas. I should try one of those flesh vats. I saw a fellow do a model of a wrecked Akagi years ago. He submerged the whole thing in dish detergent. (Maybe thinned just a touch.) The detergent gave the water a bit of color and made it just a tad harder to see, more like a sunken ship in deep water and less like a model in a fish tank. I am tempted to try something like that on a small scale for a flesh vat.

Re: Chaos Squats
I like the way the creative themes on this project have framed up.
My models are a mix of chaos space dwarfs and “not genestealer hybrid” space dwarfs. And they include a mix of standard sci fi tech and things that look like biotech.
I figure that the dwarf archetype in any setting loves WORK. And ENGINEERING.
And tends toward being collectivist-minded.
There is also the infamous throwaway GW comment to that perhaps the squats were eaten by tyranids.
And so my chaos squats are out there to (bio)engineer the whole universe. It’s the great work. Building the One True Biomass - TOGETHER!
You should definitely try the flesh vat. I’ve also had it suggested to use a clear resin, as with modeling water effects.

Re: Chaos Squats
^"Clear" resin could work well, but how would you remove it if you ever changed your mind? Dish detergent/washing up liquid seems an easy mater to reverse, though the fact that it could spill is something of a downside. I suppose everything is a compromise.

I love these squats, truly awesome paintjob. I will be filing a complaint though, as I can't get hold of them myself.

Re: Chaos Squats
On the plus side, you can still get the Macrocosm squat hybrids.
But those psychic mutant scrunts are the absolute best.
