Squats

[Garth Marenghi]

If I have time later I will try and post my ancient Squat Army.

I'd love to see the rest of your Squats, they were some of the first miniatures I ever bought and whilst it was a bit of a pain re-collecting them they are still amongst my favourites. I love the chap with the cheery grin - eat my lascannon! Are these your original "childhood" paint jobs or have you redone them more recently?

The more woodland type green rim with more of a brown top is quite novel, nice change from the goblin green!

The Squats are from 1990 - 1992 (but we're rebased around 2005) and the Beakies from about 2016 I think. They were previously Ultramarines and Crimson Fists from Rogue Trader days, then shelved away when 40K second edition was released.

The Bolter Section

So much smaller than modern pre Primaris (yuck) miniatures

 

[Brother Meredith]

They are pretty much dwarfed(!) by the plastic bolters!!

Classics.

I loved the squats. Heavy metal heroes. with shades, cigars and they cancel the 2" move impediment for heavy weapons.

Great miniatures. I have a Squat Command Group in the lead pile in unpainted shame. Thise look great.

Love 'em. The huge bolter section in particular. I can see like me you have yet to figure out quite what to put on those patches/badges! The black lining lends itself well to these models I think, sets off the faces nicely. I really must get back to painting up the riders for my bikes (at least the bikes are done).

There's also an enjoyable weight to them. Hard to explain, but they feel solid miniatures. Quite literally!

I reason they're white as they're Whiteshields in an Imperial Army group...not that I can't decide which colour to go with...cough cough (sheepish look). It looks quite good solid yellow, but then I like the old white and red half's. Never have time these days. Boo.
