New Minis

Alot of these bew minis are from Reaper. I’ll use them as PCs and NPCs for RPGs and some as Radical Ordo Xenos agents. These guys are nice and cheap and very cool to paint up.

Ordo Chronos Retinue (so far)

Here is my version of a Warhammer 40K Admech (with Imperial Agents). My Inquisitor is a Time Lord of the Ordo Chronos, allied with Admech, searching for lost Time Travel Tech.

Much of this army also fill slots in my wishlist 2nd Edition Imperial Agents army that I’ve wanted since 2nd ed.

I have lots of kitbashed robots, Kitbashed Onager, a Disintegrator made from an old toy I got somewhere, and basically all the pieces are kitbashes of some sort.

I put together Electro Priests from Start Grave and Frost Grave minis, with Admech bits. I kitbashed them as I really dislike the GW minis. These are fun and a bit creepy. I have long wanted these guys since 2nd ed, and I finally have some!

I still have battle line units to paint up of Hrud Rangers and Admech Vanguard (tech priest squads in 2nd Ed.).

Warhammering is scratching an ich until I can get back to drawing.

Nobody expects the Inquisition!

My Inquisition and Adeptus Arbites forces!

Squat HQs

Here are some better photos of my HQs for Rugnar’s Raiders. I use Inquisitorial retinue, leading Imperial Guard squat commandoes and Squat Deathwatch marines.

Building a better Landraider

Step by step scratch build of my new Squat Landraider. This will be for Kris Kringle and his acolyte retinue.

I built the bones of this out of chipboard, using a template I found online. My first Squat Landraider was made from a pattern I made myself, which I since lost.

I printed the template onto letter sized pieces of chipboard on one of the big printers at work. I cut it apart with utility knives and scissors and glued most of the pieces together using white glue, holding it together for drying with rubber bands.

i also used odd bits and bobs from random kits in my bits box. I crafter the twin las cannons from plastic tubing I got from my hobby shop, combined with parts from a GW Landraider.

I also sketched out and decoupaged a Dwarven face on the fron hull.

I have armed the tank with a very old multi meltas and a hunter killer missle.

I Need to find some time to toss some paint on this. It’ll be gold and reds, fitting for Kris Kringle! Remember my squat army is fashioned after Kris Kringle and Rugnar and all the North Pole dwarves from the comic.

More to come, soon.

Squat Landraider Close up

My completely scratch-built Old style Land Raider. Based on the Old Rogue Trader version that I’ve never been able to get a model for. I am really proud of how this one turned out.

My Squat Warlord, Rugnar the Grim

My Exo armored Warlord Rugnar the Grim.

Squat Bikes

I created these from a very deep Bitz box.

My inspiration was the bike Vaughn Bode’s Cobalt 60 rode in the old 60’s comics.

You can see the bikes in action in my comic here.

Warhammer 40,000 Banners

Some banners I did for my different armies. Done with markers.

Squat Warriors

Squat Retinues

Squat Transports

These are the leaders of my army, Rugnar the Grimm, whom you may remember from here, as the Warlord and Living Ancestor Kris Kringle, from here. Rugnar’s is actually in “Against the Giants”, too!

The more war-like nature of the dwarves will show up in a later story line!

Squat Landrader

So, the Squats are a discontinued race from 40K, sort of space dwarves. I ALWAYS play dwarves in any game I try, any version of them, so I HADto play the Squats. That said, there are no longer any rules to cover them, so you have to substitute with other army lists. I use Daemon-hunters with Imperial Guard allies.

I chose a land raider to build because in the fluff, the Squats are the engineers of a lot of Imperial tech.

The Squats are the modern take I had for Kris Kringle and his dwarves, and in turn, I fashioned my army after the Dwarves in my comic. Neat how that works out.

Sisters of Battle Banner

This is a banner drawing I did for my Sisters of Battle army, the Order of Saint Maynard. That is Brother Maynard from the story Maynard and Grimm, fighting a naughty, naughty Daemonette. I always had such fun with the artsy side of the Warhammer 40k hobby!
