Looking through some old Epic stuff I unearthed these Squat figures which I remember were a favourite model (both in Epic and even in WH40K scale).  (I hazard a guess that Legion 4 has some of these). I was thinking that they may make nice Ork things, though not sure what.... |

Hi! Yup, squat warlods in heavy (terminator like) armor. The 40k figs of these were pretty cool too. To use as Ork stuff? Squat warlords everywhere are turning in their graves....  Primarch |

'Exo' armour is it? -Nicely detailed models for those days anyway, and a good looking paintjob on your mins too Jimbo! |

Hi! Yes, squat exo-armor. It was the equivalent of terminator armor rules wise. I painted mine just like that too, the bronze color is fitting! Primarch |

Yes, Jimbo ! You are correct again ! I have a number of Exo-armored Hearth Guard stands, with my large Squat Force ! Very cool paint job too !

dead simple paint job black undercoat drybrush bronze (though I think it was actually copper) green base blue insignia that's it these would work really well on Warmaster scale bases (40mm x 20mm) I do remember that these were basically all I got done from a Squat force as (a) I never really likes the Squat vehicles, too small for what they were supposed to represent, the Overlord is a prime example of this. (b) Regular Squat infantry was a pain to paint well, and after an hour on one biker decided to leave them for another day... |

Hi! The squat leviathan and colosus were definitely too small, only the cyclops was of a decent size. Netepic added a lot of tanks and armored vehicles from the MAATAC line that are pretty well sized and good looking. I found it odd that squats didn't have their own tanks. Now they do though...

Wow! Suddenly I don't feel so bad about my latest weight increase. I still have a long way to go to catch up with you... The Exo armors look good. I have been painting mine with various combinations of Chainmail & Bonze. The first brotherhood's warlord was painted with chainmail armor & bronze trim. On the second one I reversed the colors. The next one will probably be chainmail + copper and so on. For the Grand Marshal I think I'll use gold. |

Hi! Sorry to leave you lone on that one L4, but at the years start I weighed 325lbs! I'm close to my fourth month of dieting and have lost 75lbs. Weigh 250 flat this morning. My goal is 200 flat by summer. Primarch |
