Nice to see the squats about, their 40k version killed them even though they rock in Epic. Some day in the future, though the models are hard to get a hold of. Any good proxy ideas or do you have all the originals? Even the Land Train?

WTF?

Ooh yeah! Bring it on you bad boy toys!

Luck? More likley your opponent fudged his rolls :D

A good battle report overall Mark. Thanks for taking the time to place it up.

Looking back at the battle, would have you done anything different with the Terminators if you repeated the game?

I played the squat army and didn't really register the significance of where the terminators had popped up. I was just happy that they hadn't trashed one of my super heavies.

Looking at the battle report, I echo your thoughts. Hence why I asked about them.. :)

In the end though the terminators held the blitz and would have won the game for mark if it hadn't been for some devious movement by a brotherhood on the left flank. This is potentially more valuable than trashing a cyclops so I think that it was a good move.

Yeah. I guess I am greedy and want to eat my cake too :)

That's probably why I lose games like I do :D

Cheers, the squats in are my mate Jesse's and he has all the old Squat units painted up. I got his spares (including a landtrain), but am still after bits and pieces, e.g a Goliath and Cyclops. Just a matter of patience on e-bay etc, or maybe impatience and trading...

In terms of proxies, Exodus Wars Miniatures Khazari are the obvious choice. In addition to infantry variety, they have gyrocopters, "drone controllers" that could sub for Airships (and might actually be cooler than the original concept), and a burrowing vehcile. Lacking currently are Goliath and Thunderfire proxies and the big war engines (though they have some interesting stuff in production I believe, and Dark Realm Miniatures also has some big vehicles - Castellan etc, that might be convertable). Some 40k guns could probably be modified into Goliaths easily enough. Exodus Wars bits service and creative proxying and you should be able to make a great looking Squat army again these days. Just wish Exodus Wars would hurry up with making their really big vehicle!

Yeah it was a hard call about whether or not to be more aggressive with the termis in this situation.
