Space Dwarves (a.k.a Squats)

 

Some more 15mm sci fi completed from my mountain of shame and as ever, I've had all these for quite a few years.

These are Khurasan Minatures, Thrainites and Clear Horizon Miniatures, High-Gravity Mercs (Sci-Fi Dwarves), with some Alternate Armies, Laserburn, V011 Scorpion Air Landers for on-planet transport.

The two figure ranges mix together seamlessly and I struggled initially to think of a paint scheme. But the shoulder pads and poses reminded me of Games Workshop's Epic and 40K Squats from eons ago. 

In the end, I mixed those old paint schemes with the more modern Leagues of Votann.

The landers are resin and were a bit warped, and I didn't really know what to do with them.

I ended up covering them in 1/72 scale stowage and greeblys, which worked well and applied a heavy layer of rust colour first before dabbing the paint on, using the painting technique from the Bill Making Stuff Youtube Channel.

After some eye watering painting, as these guys are really small, was happy with the colourful result.
