Squats, even beastmen, or fishmen are perfectly legal abhumans in 6ed Imperial armies now...nothing stopping you from doing squats at all.

Well, if you can settle for 25mm, there's tons and tons of Mon Calamari figures from the Star Wars miniatures range, and they're about a buck a figure on eBay.

So! This weekend, I had the pleasure of heading up to the wilds of Vermont, to visit Skalk and his friend Finn. I asked Galorn if he would like to come along, and epic adventure was had!
First, I'd like to thanks Skalk and his household for hosting. It is always a risk to have near strangers over for a visit (even if they're mostly vetted due to interacting on Dakka), but they made us feel very welcome. A big thanks to Cathy and Kaitlin, with Kaitlin pulling dinner duties. They were fine and gracious hosts, and I really appreciate their putting up with a day of gaming craziness. Also, the food was DELICIOUS!
(I hope I have spelled Cathy and Kaitlin correctly, I'll edit if I am incorrect!)
Here's a few shots of the Epic Game Jam Room of Epicness. I didn't get shots of his other shelves, which stored stacks of magic cards, terrain, and tons and tons of older GW product. This room is a shrine to both Heavy Metal and Old School GW. Skalk even knows who Bolt thrower is. Very important, that.
I have a pair of BatRep writeups to prepare. We managed to squeak in two games, one four-player "Carnage" ( a mission from the dark days of 3rd edition!) and a team game, Nurgle/Nurgle versus IG and... Necrons?! Yes, fear the horror of the Doomshackle Scarabs...
All in all, a great day and well worth the 7 hours of driving!
My BIG thanks to Galorn for handling the driving duties. Riding up in the comfort of a mini-van made the trip that much more enjoyable.
--Brian

Sneak peek at the table...

My Deathstrike Missile Launcher. Which, in the second game, 'failed to launch', if you get my drift. No, seriously. It failed to launch. Stupid dice.

Hmm. Might want to edit that first pic. I'm not sure the Mods love Metal as much as we do, but I'm fairly certain the adjective on my poster will draw unwanted attention.

Also, here's the AFTER picture of the demolition of the cityfight terrain.

Dragons fear nothing, if it acts up, we breath magic fire that turns them into marshmallow peeps. We leaguers only cry rivets!

I assure you, they're not crumbs. They're panels. Oh, yes.
PANELS.

We refuse to take sides in this anymore. And we refuse to let you turn us against one another. We know who we are now, we can find our own way between order and chaos...
It's over because we've decided it's over. Now get the hell out of our galaxy! Both of you.
