Is anybody using the small guys in EA games, and how?
Having recently discovered a small amount I have been considering a 'company' of dwarves counting as IG infantry with thunderers as fire support (4 stands) and berserkers as stormtroopers (mounted in Termites?)

Sounds good to me. People has also been working on a fan list on the SG site which looks nice.


Cheers!:)

Many people have been using them as IG proxy infantry.

Shalom,

I guess, we'll come up with something or wait for the legendary "Demiurg" ... ???

That is how I am using them. I even used the ExoArmor as Ogre Proxies.

Then I wonder what they did when they hear me admit to using the Exoarmor as Ogre Proxies...  :o

That's why they are in the grave...

Personally I recommend the list which has been "in development" in the Epicentre forum. It is _very_ nice and doesn't classify the large Praetorians as superheavy tanks like the E:A list does, IIRC.

Of course, I did make my own list but since that is a straight conversion from the Net Epic list it is unlikely to get general acceptance...  }:)

If I had a valid Squat army I would leave them 'under their own steam' so to speak but as I just came across a dozen or so stands in an Ebay consignment they are being drafted into the IG, no vehicles as yet (apart from my three termites which were donated to them, Squats being the only ones able to maintain such ancient technology!)
Mojarn, you couldn't send me your list, could you? I'll also check out the Epicentre one.

Sigh, I'm afraid I'm one of the heretics inducting Squats in the IG - or rather, my AdMech Scutarii (Squatarii)...bikers for riders, squats for infantry, artillery for - ah - artillery and exoarmour types as 3rd army terminator stat line bodyguards! As to the vehicles - I've not got many of those, the Thunderfire AA guns serve as Hydras, my bicyclops are being very slightly converted to AdMech stuff (you see they're learning from the Demisquaturgs, Mojarn), my Land Train is still a Land Train counting as a superheavy tank (I'll work this one out some day) and - ah, no, no 'and', that's it.

Hi!

I doubt the so called Demuirg will ever see the light of day. Its a shame the poor old squats are now just "proxies". Its interesting that epic was the system where squats actually had some character.

.... gone are the days of character.... :)

Like said, we may have to just do it on our own, each gaming crew doing their own thing.  Or like "V" is doing ... :)

Hi!

I think we are preaching to the converted.

Lets face it, if your on these forums the slant of the posts demote a strong sense of individuality...

... so we pretty much do our own thing whether people like it or not... :;):

Demiurgs already exist in BFG. They slow, well armoured, hate orks and are great miners. ??? Rings a bell? They work for the tau as mercenaries and are not really viable as a stand-alone fleet, but hey, you never know...

So in some strange way, are we following the rules of this group.  :o

I am an individual because the group I am in says so...  :p
