Wargaming Workshop

Two Grand Batteries of Mole Mortars. You can never have enough light artillery, right? The Hazard Stripes were done with a thin ink pen.

Two Thunderer formations (or upgrades). Again, one per Brotherhood.

Two Berzerker formations – one per Brotherhood (red and yellow).

The second Warrior formation. One Brotherhood has red “buttons”, the other yellow. The Lord is standing on a shield carried by two warriors.

I hate Squats… I really do. In my darkest moments I wish that they would all be devoured by Tyranids… oh, wait…

After the (near) completion of the Lost and the Damned Chaos army for the TacComs Tale of Epic Gamers, I foolishly decided to continue painting 6mm EPIC models. By popular vote I was encouraged to select the Squats as my next project. Squats are painful to paint (well). While there is a lot less infantry than in the Chaos force, they ALL look the same. No problem, I thought, I painted Space Marines and other such uniform armies before. How bad can it be? Well, each Squat has boots, trousers, vests, shirtsleeves, face, beard, gloves, gun and cap. That means painting 800 boots, 400 trousers, etc. Worst of all was the mistake to paint everything in one assembly line to “stay consistent”. Motivation killer…

Anyhow, after a 30 days absence from the blog, I finally have some progress to declare. The Squat infantry and light artillery is done! To keep my sanity and make you suffer a bit like I suffered, I shall post individual units every days or so. For starters, below is the first Warrior Brotherhood with Lord and Living Ancestor.
