Anyone Painted Quar on the Forum - Update: plastic Quar in 2023

[Lost Egg]

More from the Zombiesmith FB page:

...there will be 12 Crusaders and 12 Coftyrans in the game box. Enough for a squad of each and some extras. Wargames Atlantic will also release models on their own separate from the main box.

We are still discussing what the next hard plastics sets will be. But what WA doesn’t produce I will like officers and other special characters.

So with 3 bodies per sprue thats 4 sprues, not a bad size for a game as my painting time is sadly lacking. Also, if the 12 minis is enough for a squad and some spare then presumably that should leave us a body or two spare for whatever metal upgrade kits are released.

I always liked the figures (not so keen on the tanks), but never found an excuse to buy any.

Hard plastic may well be that excuse

This!

Oh bother...

Well they look cute.
Slightly confusing sprue picture, until you realise they are two  half sprues per mould - a half sprue of Crusaders and a half sprue of Coftyrans.

On my list for next year.

Always loved them and have a bunch, they seemed to have died off but in reality they were always there. In the early days what I could not get I made my self  the plastics might be good for that  http://bandit86.blogspot.com/search/label/Quar
They were fun to build and  (they had a great song competition I did not win but my song was printed as the centerfold of one of the books, and I even have a Quar named after me.  The Quar have always been a passion of mine I just love the little guys.

You make brilliant Quar stuff mate, I especially your sailors. All your Quar stuff is clever and cute. You really bring them to life. I like your passion for the project, it is inspirational.

The Quar fluff is as interesting as the Quar themselves are cute. It is becoming impossible for me to resist.

Any one know if there is chance of Zombiesmith doing a sale on their 28mm metal sculpts for Black Friday?

I had quite a few 25mm Quar awhile ago, but gave up as they were just too fiddly to assemble.  Does anyone know if the 15mm Quar are one piece castings?

The 15mm Quar are one piece.

I've got quite a few of the early metals. Maybe two factions. Never got to assemble and paint them.
Absolutely love the Vaughn Bodé 'Cobalt 60' vibe.

WGA has a new Quar section on their forum. A great spot to discuss Quar with Joshua, the Quar creator, for those not on Facebook.

I've been painting a few over the last few weeks. 

Some of what I have done so far.







I probably have around 50 finished plus one tank.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great work Rabbitz, loving it! 👍

[Lost Egg]

Nice work. I like the headless mount...weird but cool.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Nice painting.
Thanks @Grumpy Gnome for pointing out the WA forum.

Loved the Quar when they first came out but the frankly daft horse analogues put me right off and ended up flogging all of mine.

Quite like the animal design, have been thinking of using the Wargames Atlantic horses with new heads to match the official miniatures, should be not that difficult I think.

[Pattus Magnus]

The main question I have about the riding beasts is how they eat? Drop down on their knees to graze (moose do that when they aren’t browsing twigs from bushes), rely on taller plants (which moose usually do), have really long prehensile tongues (giraffe tongues are pretty crazy and some other critters have super long tongues) or some other adaptation?

In that regard, I don’t find them much more objectionable than some other fantasy beasts, which often have tusks or horns that would make eating really difficult (the animals GW’s ogres ride are examples).

In any case, I am looking forward to seeing the plastic quar once they are released, they have always been fun sculpts.

They are neck-less not headless! Well, they have necks, just short. Their heads have a dentine "cap" that evolved over time from their horns as they were constantly headbutting each other and things. They eat low leaves or kneel on their front legs to eat low leaves and grass.
