squat army – Phineus + Magician for Hire

While my creativity has been stifled and rendered me unable to draw much, I’ve been trying to distract myself and been working on my squat army, repainting and touching up older minis.

Here are my HQs for the army. We have Kris Kringle in the gold exo armor, Rugnar the Grimm in the purple exo. Duncan Borll is the fellow with the powerfist. I have a few figs coming, where we’ll see Sheila from the comic as a Commisar with thunder hammers and a male & female pair of Crusaders.

I run my squats in 3 detachments, Imperi Guard, Deathwatch and Inquisitorial.

I borrow heavily from my comics for characters for the army.

And here are the rest of my boys, that need worked on.

And their rides.

Once I get them all painted up, I’ll do a proper photo session for them.

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.
