Some ace squats I stumbled upon
« on: May 02, 2012, 03:18:16 AM »
 :-* Careful, they may make you a bit misty-eyed for Rogue Trader...  :-*

The work of a Japanese painter from his blog at http://blog.zaq.ne.jp/noharaya/, which google translates for me as Paint Groping Diary.












(just scored one of these on ebay, am stoked!)

Great squats! I hadn't seen that site before.

手探り is more like "fumbling" or "feeling one's way" ("groping" in the sense of feeling one's way in the darkness, for example). So a closer translation of the blog is probably something like "A Fumbling Paint Diary."

I was going to say that but I do remember back in the mists of time that a lot of people used to do it that way (not really understanding what it was).

His old style Blood Angels are very good indeed  8)

Beautiful painting.  The Hearthguard in particular look understatedly great.  Usually those guys are painted in enough gold to make Mr T cringe.

In order to get my hands on each of those servitor and techpriest models I would would do shocking, unethical and immoral things.  But I wont pay the asking price on ebay...

I may have an unwanted servitor somewhere. How much is it worth?

Off the top of my head I dont know.  A quick Ebay search shows it at about £25 with a set of the servitor and techpriest going for £50.  That is outside my budget range for a single roughly human sized figure Im afraid.

If your squat servitor shows up some time and you fancy trading it then give me a shout :)

Wow. Sorry to 12 month necro but those are lovely and thought a bump might allow some newer users to see 'em.  :-*

Gotta comment that since the crew is mounted on detachable bases, there is no such problem ;) Maybe the wee stunty lads just check what the heck is going in the reserves :D

Thanks for the bump, would have totally missed these otherwise.
