The Squats of Inso's Reach (TANKS!!!).

[Brummie]

Holy moly that is a lot of Squats!

Lovely to see someone keeping the good ol' space stunties alive!

Will they be blasting their way through some Nids any time soon?

Cheers . It's unlikely because I don't game... but you never know .

I've now started conversion work on the heavy weapon troopers for the third platoon (ten Squats; five gunners and five loaders) but have also been a bit distracted by these guys:



These casts were sent to me by Macrocosm. They are from the ones I sculpted for the kickstarter and I have actually put a bit of paint on them (primed and I have started the black on the Commissar)... I couldn't help myself .

A bit of a resurrection here but I have been working on a vehicle for my original Squat army... so... Something new today... a proxy Hellhound tank :



It's just primed at the moment so needs lots of painting yet .

[Inso]

The Hellhound is now painted:



... and so are the four Tauroxes :



Just NINE Chimeras to convert and paint and I'll be ready to add the decals    ...

Always impressed when I see an update - how you never run out of motivation to expand this project.

Cheers . I must admit that this army is always ticking away... whether it's in my head or the occasional update . For example, I have just got hold of 13 Ogryn to convert into a Squad of 6 Ogryn, a squad of 6 Bulgryn and an Ogryn body guard. The ogres I bought were:

This one to act as an Ogryn Body Guard:

A mix of these for the two squads:
6 models from here: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Militarum-Auxilla-Ogryns
6 models from here: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Jotunn-H-grade-Servitor-Ogryns-2020

I haven't done very much with them yet but the Body Guard is getting there nicely ... once he's converted and primed, I'll post images but he's so many colours at the moment, it's difficult to tell what's what.

That said, I am currently investing most of my hobby time in my second army, which involves a lot of sculpting... and you'll find that here :

I still have 20+ sculpts to do for that army and then I'll need to paint them all ...

Is the Hellhound a Churchill from World War Toon?

Yep... Meng's World War Toons .

I just thought I'd post an update... seeing as this project is still going .

I have decided to convert some Chimera proxies that are "prototypes". That means that I don't have to convert 9 identical models. I continue to use the Meng "Toon King Tigers" as a base (mainly for the tracks) and have started with a Russian styled vehicle. Here's the finished conversion:



... and here's the finished base coat, waiting for the washes and highlights :



I am thinking that the next one will be based on the U.S. LVPT-7 and will also use the same King Tiger chassis .

In other news... did anyone mention Knights?:



So this project has been sleeping... not killed off .

Cool!

I'm unacountably happy to see an excellent redux of one of my favorite battle mech designs.

[Daeothar]

That's a Thunderbolt (Dougram Ironfoot) as the base, isn't it?

Very cool conversion! 

Also; the APC is some really nice work too!

[Inso]

Cheers .

The Mech is pretty much a standard 1/72nd scale Dougram Ironfoot with a sculpted Squat pilot and a converted cockpit. It's still WIP (I'm waiting for some plastic filler to arrive and I need to add a few details) so it should be a little more individual, once it's finished .

Is it one of the ones from the 80s? I have pieces of a Soltic around somewhere. Looking forward to see where it goes.

Yep . It's an Ironfoot from the Dougram 1/72nd range. There is also a Revell Robotech version (called a Gartan) all from the '80s. I have a 1/48th Soltic as well... it's the one made in clear plastic so it's going to be a complete pig to paint... but there you go .
