bought some of Anvil Industries/Miniatures of the North's Fallen Dwarves crossbowmen, and did simple weapon swap to convert them to squats - gonna use them as chaos squat allies for my Thousand Sons.

these are my first non-gw miniatures, and have to say I'm really impressed with these fella's, so much so that I've already ordered a set of the command group to convert too

only painted 2 so far:



and a shot with their 'boss':



already decided i need to fill the gap between the end of the pistol and their right hand, but i'm pretty happy with how they turned out - c&c welcome

Looking good dude. Would love to see more.

oh, there will be - dont worry!

just about finished assembling/converting the command group - might post pics later

plus, i've got some of the new gw dwarfs on the way too

as promised, here is a quick shot of the assembled command squad - really happy with how they turned out:



My friend just commented: "I think the sniper guy may be compensating for something"

will take individual/detail shots once they are painted.

fyi this is the original models: http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=98_101&product_id=249

Funny how the stunties refuse to die in the wargamers heart. Go for it, good man, and may the short ones bring you fun and victories

Damn, I'd love to see some step by steps of those. I just glued spikes to some forge fathers; these are amazing!

What rules are you going use for the Squats?

tbf all I've really done is swap their fantasy weapons for modern ones - the original models are what's awesome imo

the full range is here:

(all the weapons used on the command squad are from Anvil too btw)

anything else you want to know, just ask man

I don't game, only model, so NO RULES, I suppose!

beginnings of a mini one-man Land Train!





made from Anvil's Gun Tractors, and whatever was left in my bits box (mainly IG Sentinel cab parts)

roll cage isnt fixed yet, so may be left off in the end, and needs some green stuff to fill a few gaps, but pretty pleased with it!

might try to add some waepons to the cab somewhere too...

Right, time for an update:

Finished 5 man squad on display base, with Rhino backdrop:



I've had one side of a Rhino in my bitz box for ages, and couldn't find use for it, til i thought of combinig it with this base and using it like this! win

I love how ludicrous the sniper guy looks with the size of that gun

Nothing wrong with a huge gun

These are great, I'm getting a big Flash Gordon vibe from them.

That land train is awesome dude.
Although is does kind of remind me of a bobcat digger. Lol.
