Following yesterday's battle-report, here are the first images of my Squats, on the table and ready for action in their battle against the dark forces of the Chaos Daemons.

| The Squats advance! |
As you can see, the infantry models are all old Rogue Trader era plastic models from the original plastic box set (in 1993, it was £15 for 36 miniatures...). I have converted the models slightly, giving each a Space Marine backpack and also giving them Cadian IG arms and Lasguns, as I'm not overkeen on the original Lasgun design.

The artillary pieces - counting as Medusas and Manticores - are of course Chimera hulls, with scratchbuilt cannons on top. I wanted the Squat cannons to look more futuristic than the rather old-fashioned Imperial weaponry, to reflect the fact that the Squats are a technologically-advanced race compared to the regression of the Imperium. I wanted the weapons to look more like Plasma Cannons and Ion Blasters than solid-shell cannons. Hopefully I've achieved my goal - what do you think?
