Blast from the Past! Warhammer 40k Squats

Here's a bit of a throw back to the 1990s, after another foray into the loft I found a small (pun intended!) squad of nine Squats. Given that they have been in the loft for at least 15 years and likely unplayed with for at least 20 years I have decided to put them up onto eBay


The 'Little Red One' Squad

Funds raised will go to good causes within the family...

So this squad was from the legendary 'Little Red One' Imperial Guard Regiment and as the name suggests these guys are predominantly uniformed in red, the recruits are all Squats who are armed with an eclectic mix of weaponry.

Having rescued these little guys from the loft I dusted them down (quite literally) and then touched-up the paintwork, brightening up their red uniforms. Re-doing their visors & sunglasses etc and freshening-up their skin and beards.

Check out the guy in the photo above with an AK47 and a Landsknecht style uniform!

Squad Leader and his No. 2

I also put a little time into their bases, which were looking all of the 30 odd years old that they were - so added some stand and electrostatic grass.

To the left is the Squad Plasma Gun, plus his No.2 (second right)
carrying a handy battery recharger.

I spent some time (5 minutes) on the plasma gun to add some more detail....

Squad Communications Officer, centre plus two additional Guardsmen.

All in all a nice little set, hopefully I'll get a good price!
