Astra... Imperial Guard (with a hint of heresy)...

Cheers :)

 

This was my first Beastman sculpt and I got quite a bit of feedback which ended up altering things for the better :)

 

I reckon I'll need to convert a little squad of Squats before I move on to the second Beastman. I am hoping that I still remember how to convert Squats ;)

I love those Servitors, they're so much cooler than the GW ones! That's actually inspired me to start taking some myself, nice work, looking forward to seeing them in action sometime!

I'm sorry but I am a hobbyist rather than a gamer so you won't see these in action... I just go through the motions of army collecting :)

 

If you wish to make the walking servitors, the guide for 'Beetlebots' is here:

For the tracked ones... just build the torso and attach it to one of these:

I am hoping to have some more ready very soon :)

 

Unfortunately the hot and humid weather has not helped with my motivation...

 

But the weather has turned so I have got no excuse now :D .

 

Next up will be the first Heavy Weapon squad with autocannons to go with the first platoon :)

As ever, I am still plodding along with this project and have updated my blog with a few bits and bobs... here's a teaser (the first completed platoon - apart from vehicles):

  • 2 weeks later...

The guns are back in stock but with a slight adjustment to the rear (for better casting).

 

And in other news... I've only gone and got myself a case of the badgers! :D

This week has been one of consolidation and badgers:

As usual, there is more information on my blog; here:

Here's a badger on a new, shiny base (I didn't like the ones that came with the kit):

The bases are NEW from GW but there's more info (including some Exo/Sentinel conversions) over at Inso's World:

In a further, some might say heretical move, I have decided to add a unit of wyrdvane psykers to my Squat army so what better way to do it than to recycle something from yesteryear?
 
As a result, I had a sudden burst of inspiration and decided that Hrud would be cool additions to the army and I had something in mind so I went into my cupboard and pulled these out:
 
[XENOS PURGED BY ORDER OF THE INQUISITION]
 
My frog-people! Now I know that the general thoughts on Hrud are that they were place-holders for space-rats but the picture in the Rogue Trader rule book didn't show a face, just a cloaked figure with a rat's tail... so that is what I have made :smile.:. I may add some pouches to them at some point but they are finished apart from that.
 
I hope you like them :smile.:

 

(I hope a link is OK... it seems a bit of an odd post without something to look at: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/SquatWIP62_zpskhrslhz6.jpg )

Apart from a couple more beastmen Primaris Psykers, these are as alien as it gets (they are counts-as wyrdvanes though :) ) so hopefully, I can escape the wrath of the Inquisitors :o .

 

I'll have Squats riding the badgers and the rest of the army will be Squats as well.
