Great to see you moving into this aspect of Squats as well, they are quite characterful little buggers, even in 6mm!

Brilliant stuff.

I had an epic squat army back in the day. I'm still upset with myself for selling it.

It was on the cards for ages... I just didn't want to spend the money that they wanted on EBay... but I got these fairly reasonably

.

At the moment, I am suffering from a bit of Insomnia so I am too tired to paint (no focus for big stuff, let alone tiny stuff

) but I haven't been idle... I have decided on some of the vehicles and will be using these for standard troop transports (10 man):

these for smaller sections of troops/Thudd-Gun towing vehicles:

and these for the Exo units:

These will just cover the standard transport requirement and won't, in any way, prevent me from adding more exotic vehicles at a later date

Back on it and I've finished the next unit:

Next up, will be infantry

paint is looking great. I'm fascinated by your choice of vehicle when the same company sells 6mm not squats as well. https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/onslaught-miniatures/6mm-sci-fi/grudd/

The main APC (Trojan) looks like an FV432 APC (British army) and that is my favourite armoured vehicle.

The Grudd are cool... but I won't be adding them to this little force... I much prefer the GW Squats

The Vanguard APCs have arrived and they are lovely, crisp, casts of some very detailed little vehicles. Here is a comparison (hulls only) of the relative sizes:

In other news... the first of the infantry squads is finished:

The transports seem to be spot on for size.

The infantry look good. Its surprising how much detail they worked into these classic minis.

Good choice on the vanguard transports - all the vanguard stuff I have is very nice.

Grumbledook · « **Reply #24 on:** April 16, 2019, 07:38:53 PM »

Very nice work, the vehicles will work perfectly with them.

I agree with you re. The Grudd. I kind of like them, but much prefer the old squats.

I haven't stopped... just paused... so here is the second infantry squad:

I have started on the command and heavy weapon squad now so I'll soon have a full platoon (Command Squad, 2 Infantry Squads, Heavy Weapon Squad)

. The vehicles will be tackled when the infantry is complete...

... speaking of infantry, I have bought another five sprues of them but don't plan on buying any more (and spares will be sold off).

They are looking good. Keep up the good work.

Cheers

The latest addition... Platoon command for Orange company, blue platoon

Looking good sir.

These guys are looking fabulous sir! Really interested to see how the vehicles come out.
