Since I have delusions about knowing something about army list designing/converting I converted Net Epic Squat armylist for E-A. If anyone is interested in trying it out, PM me and I'll send you the list. Please note that it is in Word format only. :;):

Hi!

Yup, many squat fans on thenet epic list, including myself.

I'd like to see your conversions, always good to see a different spin on different units.

I have a large Squat Army including all the G/W models. But we use the SM1 TO&Es plus some E40K data from an old issue of Fire Power. :)

I have a goodly number of Squats although I haven't built and painted all of them.

BikerBeerStud is the person that you're looking for. Squats are his pride and joy.

Shalom,

Hi!

One of the first things netepic did was to support the Squats by adding more unique units.

The Ironshield armored personel carrier has replaced the rhino as a heavily armored APC, although as most squat units its slower.

We also gave them a main battle tank the Ironhammer, again slow moving, but a powerful main gun, better than a battlecannon, but not as good as a volcano cannon.

We added a large praetorian class vehicle (on par with the CI) that sports an innovative squat weapon, a railgun. It low rate of fire but its electromagnetically accelarated slug shot causes punishing damage.

There are several more we added to fill in the gaps armored core, most are "anti-tank" types that are better used defensively.

Primarch,

What are you using for the proxies for:

- The Ironshield armored personel carrier has replaced the rhino as a heavily armored APC, although as most squat units its slower.

- We also gave them a main battle tank the Ironhammer, again slow moving, but a powerful main gun, better than a battlecannon, but not as good as a volcano cannon.

- We added a large praetorian class vehicle (on par with the CI) that sports an innovative squat weapon, a railgun. It low rate of fire but its electromagnetically accelarated slug shot causes punishing damage.

My buddy, instead of putting the wings on the SM2 MK.I Thunderhawk,  he put tracks on it and we called it a "Thunder Raider".  The Squat version of an MBT ...  :cool:

Wow! People obviously like Squats. I appreciate any feedback about the list; for one there are bound to be a number of typos... :D

The army composition is another thing, I'd very much like to hear what people think about it.

Plus, if anyone can suggest decent point values for the units please do so. Deciding them has always been hard for me...

The Ironshield armored personel carrier has replaced the rhino as a heavily armored APC, although as most squat units its slower.

Since the Rhino was still available in the NetEpic v4.1 list I used, it's still in my E-A list also. However, I gave the Squats a specialized mech formation (steel brotherhood), which uses exclusively the Ironshield. The Rhino is used if the player wants to mechanize his regular infantry.

We also gave them a main battle tank the Ironhammer, again slow moving, but a powerful main gun, better than a battlecannon, but not as good as a volcano cannon.


I made it a Macro Weapon, but it has only about half the range of a Battlecannon.


We added a large praetorian class vehicle (on par with the CI) that sports an innovative squat weapon, a railgun. It low rate of fire but its electromagnetically accelarated slug shot causes punishing damage.

Ouch! I actually forgot the Behemoth. However, since it is not mentioned in my version of the armylist I think it is understandable...

The Squat force I made is predominantly infantry, resembling IG in composition save there are no tank companies.

Guild bikes are available as before with trikes being support formations.

Praetorians are used instead of titans.

The biggest change I made was to give the War Hawk Gyrocopter transport capability. I also had to invent a couple of new special rules: one for hellfury cannon (Cyclops) to take into acount the ability to drop multiple shields and one for the overlord, which is a mixture of skimmer and aircraft in behavior.

Well, the die is cast, let's see what people think about it.

Oooo! I like your idea giving the gyrocopter transport capability, sorta like helicopter gunships and paratroops, cool!

I like the idea too of a "steel brotherhood" of tanks andAPC's. The squat revision is coming up soon, so I'll mention them.
