Actually, I can. I'll be more specific - they don't fit with the rest of the vehicles, which tend toward blocky and technical looking. The infantry can work with either. Both together, OTOH, seems a little off.


Hmm. Yes, I see what you mean. I guess I was looking for the big 'ol egg shape at the time. I guess people could always model them as squatish and square and even on tracks if required.

Apart from the look, I also felt they needed a troop type (albeit an AV) to represent a mechanical 'get-up' as opposed to the rare suits of exo armour that they probably no longer have access to....

You should have a look on the new Chaos Dwarfes from Forgewolrd/Warhammer Forge for inspiration. There is some cool stuff :)

Yes, I follow the Chaos Dwarves online threads daily and saw this today.

Nothing much is offered (if anything) that has not already been incorporated into this list.

It will start to get some more playtests soon, and hopefully by Christmas we should start seeing some more Apoc/Onyx gear hitting the threads for these guys. :)

I was talking more about the visuals than the type of things :)

Ah. OK. Yeah that cannon is pretty awesome - I think Apoc did something quite similar...

The Spartan Games Dystopian Wars Land Ship with the dome removed could be interesting for kollosus, can't find out how big it will be though.

Brilliant find!

According to THIS, it's 65mm long, 49mm wide and 51mm tall. I really like it. It's definitely got my vote.

It is good to see this still in people's minds.

Apart from work and the daughter taking up my time, I have been keeping this in the back of my mind.

The plan for me at present is as follows:

1. Review Terminators costing in the World Eater list - This weekend
2. Review Emperors Children list to update to V3.6 - ~1 week or less
3. Release another revised edition of the Imperial Fists lists for feedback on it's development - This weekend
4. Paint 8 Khorne Engines - 2 weeks

So with all the above happening, the Chaos Squats have taken a reprieve for a bit. I will be play testing these guys again in 2 weeks and hope to get at least 2 games in with these guys.

So far I am happy with the list while I get some games in to see how each formation works on a table top. There is alot to be gained from playing the list, as I found out with War Engines as base transports - they really do effect how the formation works. Rather than review the list, I would rather continue to play with its unexpected intricacies as I believe they provide quite a bit of flavour and something different to what already exists in the other main forces.

So not forgotten, just on hiatus for another 2 weeks :)

Cheers all.
