I have been slaving over these APCs for most of the weekend and have got this far now:



There are more pix and some additional information over at my Blog:

Look great, kinda arbites vibe to them.

Cheers . They will change as they get worked on... the design is fairly fluid until I have all of the components I need. I have made a little more progress today:

I'm unable to carry on with these until some parts arrive... so I've put some more information (as well as a scale pic) on my Blog:

http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/another-change-of-direction.html

There are a few other, less Squat related things on there too

Looking good so far

Cheers

Thanks to Ainsty Castings, I now have five shiny new turrets for the vehicles and have started to integrate them into the vehicles:



There is more info on my blog:

Those Squatettes are great. The sergeant model turned out excellent with the extra filling on the cheeks really making that head fit with the aesthetic of the body.

Cheers . You should like this then because, in another odd turn of events... Captain Lysander :



Of course there is more stuff in my Blog about it:

Well it would appear that as a result of a side project, I have begun to work on the main event again... here's the army standard bearer (minus the flag):



I may revisit him a bit later but I am just happy to have his arms finished so he is complete... but may get some extra details at a later date (he IS part of the command squad, after all).

... and this, just for interest's sake, is the side project :



It is the first of five bodies, the next one is going to be running (and has been started).

Holy macaroni. That's a belter. Nice job

Is that... 100% greenstuff?

!

That really is so impressive, man!

Thank you and apart from a bit of wire inside it, yes that is all green stuff

Here's the third finished member of the army command squad; a sniper:

You're really transforming those plastics into a brilliant force, well done!

Thank you ... it has taken nearly two years so far ...

...but FINALLY (WHEW!) the army command squad is finished... first the Medic and Comms:



Followed by the full squad:



I guess I should really start painting some now... but my sculpting mojo has kicked in again and I quite fancy finishing off this Psyker now:

Fantastic builds and such creative sculpts. I just read up on your plot. It's all great stuff and highly inspired. Keep up the good works! Cheers

I thought I'd write a tiny bit of fiction to go with my army. It just explains why certain aspects of the army are like they are... anyway... here it is:

http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/the-invasion-some-background-to-my.html

It also gives a little bit of a precursor to what my veteran Tyranid hunters will look like .

And to finish off for the moment... A blog post to go with a massive army pic and a bit of information about what stage the army is at: http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/the-squat-army-so-far.html

Nice fluff, excellent prose, vividly and well written. Great stuff!

Cheers

I am having a quiet day today so... how about a short story? This is the tale of one of the Squats who survived the Tyranids...

EDIT - Part 2:

More background which explains some of the choices I have gone for in my army:

http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/after-setbacks.html

Always had a soft spot for Squats and have quite a few Olley's not-Squats. What you did, Sir, is very cool indeed. Great Greenstuffing skills!

Subbed!

Cheers

Hopefully, I'll keep things going and eventually get some of them painted !

Well, I guess it's back to boring old pictures of converted miniatures again ... here's a complete (apart from the light-sabre tips) Primaris Psyker... or Jedi Beastman... whichever works best for you :



There is a bit of blurb on the blog... including some Pug related fun :

http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/back-to-normal-again.html

It's good to get back to normal (whatever that is ).

Looks amazing. How will the ends of the lightsaber be painted? Just wondering what the thicker ends will represent

They won't be fatter, to quote: "finished (apart from the light-sabre tips) ...

I have sanded them down so that they match the diameter of the tube now. I plan to paint them as near as I can to lightsabres

Oops, that'll teach me not to read the text

Only a tiny bit of progress on the last of the Jedi Beastmen:



And there is a bit of news about how the Space Marine part of the army will be filled up, over at Inso's World:

Was about to ask if you had any intentions to use the Forge Father plastics, am interested to see how you put them to use.

Congratulations on your Son's achievement as well.

Cheers

I am planning on the Steel Warriors getting minimal conversion... but that might change when they arrive and I can see exactly how big they are and how they look.

The one thing that I may have to alter is the helmet shape (to make them less squashed) but I'll have to see what happens

I already have the Forge Guard, so I'll be using the new ones in the same way:
