Necromunda – Behold the Techmite Autoveyor and the Squat Claim Jumper Who Handles It

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Those are both fab!

**Skinnereal**

New Squats? Gotta grab them. They might bring them back one day...

It worked, and only because I'd bought both the FW Necromunda Squats when they released them a couple of years back. Can't stop now. Think what else they might release.

**Malika2**

Ok, that is cool! And I really dig that tiny robot!

**skeleton**

Cant make robots bigger then there selfs.

**lord_blackfang**

Why even bother with a half donkeyed sump pdf, community already did it much better.

**chaos0xomega**

Because the community did it and they don't want to lose control of their IP. They half-assed it to check a box so that they can C&D Sumphulk if it ever tries to go commercial, etc.

Then again, I'm pretty sure this isn't the first apocrypha necromunda they've done on the sump/sump city, etc.

Pic lifted from Leadplague, because that Mite thing rang a bell.

It’s a modernised Knight Warden!

**warboss**

Cool! I like the new squat techmarine.

**Jadenim**

I need three of them named Huey, Duey and Louey...

**Albertorius**

Very cool ^^

**SgtEeveell**

Is this guy going to be in the next Aranthian Succession book perhaps? Maybe a hanger-on for Squats, or a bounty hunter?

It's pretty rare that they release a Necromunda mini before there are rules for it.

**Segersgia**

Absolutely beautiful sculpt.

Two things I noticed.

One: we are getting more stuff following the Aranthian Succession, which is always exciting.

Two: the symbol for this Squat is different to his brethren. Instead of a bearded skull, it is now a more ornate dwarven rune. I wonder why that is.

Let it be known that the reference is noted, and your respect for Silent Running appreciated. Very 40k-ish movie, too.

Agreed - excellent reference Sir

First thing I thought of with it too. Not even sure if i've actually watched the full movie before or not, but still remember the robots.

**KidCthulhu**

Mystery Science Theater 40,000, anyone?

**H.B.M.C.**

I wish they'd announce the next damned campaign book.

Anyway, the new Squat is very cool.

**Olthannon**

I like that the robot has a little yellow hard hat, that's an amusing little touch.

Can he fix it?

**ListenToMeWarriors**

Must admit that I love the Necromunda Squats so much more than the 40k ones. This is a beautiful miniature to me.

**Cardinal Xaphan**

Totally off topic,
But are we ever going to get scavvies?

To me its the proportions of them, they feel more Dwarfy overall. Wide and chunky proper Space Dwarf proportions compared to just short humans.

Speaking of Scavvies, someone posted this to one of the Necromund FB groups the other day, and it's a pretty spectacular photo:

Spoiler:

If you don't know what those are, they're Scavvies. But they're not just any old set of Scavvie miniatures. Those are almost all the unreleased Scavvie minis. Last time I saw one of those on eBay it was doing for north of US$300. Some of the rarest Necromunda minis out there. And this dude has all but one, IIRC.

**Jadenim**

And the greatest backdrop in the land…

Is it? I recall there being quite a few FW models that came with the rules packaged in with them and didn't them get printed in an actual book for quite some time (even the most recent Vaults of Temenos did some of this with it's named characters; a lot of them had previously gotten their rules with the model only).

**warl0rdb0b**

I wonder if this is going to be the Ironhead 'special' champion, rather than a hanger on or such. Would be strange to do one of those solely in resin but for a niche gang it would probably make more sense financially.

Funny,that's not where my mind went.. mine went to the helper bots Huey, Dewey, and Louie from the film Silent Running.

the squat bot has a similar design, with the legs mounted so high on the chassis (and with limited joints so it would waddle around) and extendable tools.

**Snord**

This is a nice model, but (1) I wish it was plastic and (2) the Squat's head is a bit 'off' compared to the plastic Squats.
