Orjetax’s in-game photos and short narratives

[Orjetax]

A thread to compile fun in-game photos that fall short of a battle report.

From my most recent game with my chaos squats (40K): Gribblies (as poxwalkers) guard a chaos squat still in its test chamber (as infected objective). Of course, the test subject is from Olley’s armies psychic mutant scrunts. The Gribblies are from late 90s or early 00s game, Vor: The Maelstrom.

Lightly armored chaos squat scouts secure another test subject. I played these lightly armored squats as chaos cultists. They’re a mix of a Macrocosm Kickstarter (multi part minis with various heads) and the Big head hybrid space dwarf fan sculpts from a Facebook group.

Chaos squat scouts advance in the light of their bio-portal. The portal here is an Olley sculpt (of course) from a mid-2010s Kickstarter, possibly by Knightmare miniatures? One of my all time favorite paint jobs I’ve done, used an acrylic pour for the swirling surface of the portal. In game it counted as some fortification piece and did almost nothing (other than looking fantastic).

I remember that portal. It's a pile of wrong. Knightmare sounds right. Great stuff! The infected diggers look great too. Aren't at least one or two of those also Olleys?

I’m not sure I remember this correctly, but I think the multi part ones from Macrocosm have Olley heads but bodies by that prolific squat group sculptor, if memory serves his name is Steve Marchant?

^That makes sense. They look like one of the Macrocosm Kickstarters to me, but I don't doubt they've used several sculptors over the years. And there's enough stuff similar to Macrocosm out there that I may well be wrong even on that. (Since they are themselves, after all, pretty similar to Citadel space dwarves for some reason.) Glorious stuff!

Oh yes. They certainly were a Macrocosm Kickstarter.
