Best squat conversions I've seen. Please make an army out of this.

The army is on it's way alright!

Very nice looking Squats. I will echo, however, that more color would be nice. They don't have to be super colorful, but just some accenting colors like a red or a gold would offset the stone look and make them pop.

Duh! Since GW won't listen you have rightly taken matters into your own hands. These look awesome. Can't wait to see them all finished up.

I never saw squats for real (before my time I'm afraid) but if someone put those in front of me I'd sure be convinced, and impressed. Have an Exalt sir, and best of luck!

The troop choices are now ready and painted

Tactical Squad #2
[missile launcher, plasma, sergeant with storm bolter]



Devastator Squad
[4x heavy bolters]



Next I really need to take a little break and start on defining the background story for these guys…

Please read more about this project at Spiky Rat Pack

Awesome stuff!

Such, suchclever use of bits. A thought: there's going to be a lot of Taurox tracks on the bits market, and I reckon there's potential for a great land train.

Oh wow man, these Squats look brilliant. Really a great re-imagining. I'm looking forward to vehicles as well. ^_^

Love the new batch of guys. You've captured a nice balance between fantasy and scifi.

Cheers guys!
More Squat madness coming really soon

I like the use of the ork banana magazine on the far left heavy bolter. Also them targeting mechadendrites are pretty sweet.

I think the layer of detail and effort to make them a bit more unique as individuals paid off handsomely. I still think they are slightly on the dull side, but with vehicles and heroes hopefully having some more flair, the army should look stunning.

BTW - you should check out the Scout Lanspeeder kit for bits! I used them to make my henchmen more individual. Left handed bolter arms and other gems.

My aim is to make the heroes & vehicles stand out while the core remains faceless mass...
Migs - Why'o why I did'nt remembered that awesome scout landspeeder kit!! Better right the wrong and get one immediately

And thank you all for your support!

Here Comes the revered force commander Thorwarg Ironmane

I just love these. They are spot on I do still think there needs to be a bit more variation in the greys, but awesome regardless.

Awesome stuff!

Cheers guys!

Man this is awesome! Some of the best conversions I've ever see, it just all works. Love the force commander.

For some reason I feel like they need golden eyebrows.

These are amazing, I hadnt even thought of using the SM Scout hands. I am working on some Stunties of my own, but using the Avatars of War dwarves as a base due to their multi partedness.

Consider some of your ideas blatantly ripped off sir!! And keep it up.

This is just awesome. Keep up the good work.

Looking super awesome I really hope you do some tanks as I'd love to see what you did for them

Young Logan

Thanks for the support guys!
There will be plenty of vehicles in the future that's for sure

These are AMAZING! Genius idea!!

subed, and stolen!

WIP...

ooh man, thats looking good so far!!!

Now this is a cool idea! love the work so far you've done, and I echo everyone's sentiment about how well the scout arms fit and work with those dwarf bodies it's very clever and still retains that grim dark 40k vibe, my only crit is colour, personally I think they would pop a bit more if you did some metals for their face plates? either a burnished gold or an iron? only to give them a stronger focal point for the faces! and that's not discrediting your paint at all, I love the chosen colours and weathering, all that works nicely!

looking forward to whatever the dwarf is wired into! :-)

Great work - very evocative and great to see it evolving
