Where do you get all those lovely plastic squats from, have not seen those available for an age!!

EBay over a long period of time ...

... I have a hundred or so more...

The first Ratling sniper is finished and the second one is now on the cork . You will need to open the image in a new tab or something like that, for the 'actual size' image to be correct :

He's gorgeous - Mad skillz on display

Cheers

The next sniper is ticking along nicely:

I bought some of the new Kharadron Overlords today and thought I'd share a few scale pix. Before I do, I reckon that they are a bit big for this current army but have potential for a future faction... here they are:

Lot of potential. Maybe a bit too big for your current, though I always say not everyone is the same, not all dwarves are 4'6'' not all humans are 5'9''. A bit of variety won't hurt.

Got to say I prefer the Old Steel Warrior.

Any chance of a scale shot with IG or SM, just for comparison.

Here are some more pix:

Those few extra details you have added to that tank model have gone so far to 40Kifying it. Nice job!

Those squats are awesome too, obvs, looking forward to see where this sniper goes.

Cheers

Well... now I've 'scratched the Kharadron itch', I can get back on track with a bit of sculpting so I am now 2 finished and one WIP, where Halfling snipers are concerned:

Is that a chaos dwarf inspired beard? Whats the plan fir tge hat? A bearskin?

Those teeny tiny Ratlinghope snipers are amazing!

EDC

Three Halfling snipers are now finished with a fourth, kneeling one, on the cork :

Love that little guy's face - "u wot m8?"

Cheers

It was one of those times where I started sculpting, did the whole face at once and suddenly realised it was finished without realising it... it is a common phrase "it sculpted itself" but this time around... I wasn't controlling the outcome so it really did sculpt itself

The one on the cork will get a shielded face like the other two but the following one may well be eating/drinking/smoking so will get an uncovered face... hopefully, that one will sculpt itself too !

Those snipers are looking excellent, would like to steal the idea, not that I could come close to your finished results here.

Thanks for the scale shot, those Forge Fathers are a pretty good scale really, I honestly don't think that a mixture of all the different ones will look out of place, one or two interspersed would look odd, but a fair mixture would look fine I think.

Old 1980's guys are so small, now. Make them youth corps.

You guys can try what you like... I'll be sticking with what I've been working on for... what?... Two years so far?

The Arkanauts that I have bought are joining a box of thunderers that I have ordered and will be turned into a Demiurg army with lots of drones and very few Demiurg.

I expect that I will start a new topic at some point... but the Arkanaut Demiurg I make will be 'rock people', not Squats.

Four snipers finished, with a prone one on the cork:

The fifth Halfling Sniper is now complete:

Superlatively Brilliant. Exalt + 1

Excellent stuff. Love the camouflage.

EDC

Absolutely brilliant stuff, those snipers are just brilliant, some of the best sniper models I have seen.

Oh and of course, it's your baby.

Interested to see where you go with the Arkanauts, understand you wanting to be true to your army. Shows great patience and resolve, I am afraid I lack, too flighty in my head, see new things and want to fiddle, you know how some people are easily dist...........OH SQUIRREL!!

Cheers guys

I've started on the next 'Halfling' Sniper... :

@Camkierhi - My Kharadons are in the process of being converted into Demiurg. Here's a link to the topic on here:

Now he is a big boy, took me a few looks to recognise just how big.

Love the idea, and really looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Always fancied doing a few Ogryn myself. So very interested.

I have had an idea for a couple years, of getting a squad of Halfling snipers together with a landrover, the 1:48 would do the trick, as it is a bit small for normal IG, but would suit the Halflings perfectly. Would dec it out all SAS.

BTW I have seen a bit of the world, and actually come from down near you, and would agree, when the sun is out, you would be hard pressed to find a better place on Earth to be. I truly love Trevose Head area, on the north coast, spent years down there surfing.

Looking genius indeed. I'm sure you know this, but did you spy that Squats are back in 8th?

Glad you like these Halflings and the WIP Ogryn... they will be cast and put up for sale fairly shortly

Yep... I love living in Cornwall (South cost for me)... I was stationed here for a few years when I was in the RAF and moved down here when I retired. Excellent choice... I am as happy as a child in a sweet shop

As for Squats being back in eighth... they never went away because... I don't game at all (I just love the miniatures and fluff side of the hobby).

The snipers have all had their basing tabs added:



They have been packed up and will be sent to my caster tomorrow, for casting in July/August (he's a busy chap). Once they are cast up, I will be able to sell some .

Very nice sculpted miniatures

Those are so cool!! I'm green with envy at your sculpting skills (no pun intended). I can't wait to see how the casts come out!
