Raindog Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 The Garage Gang is looking into playing a few game days of Necromunda and haven't played 40K since 4th Edition. The group has Delaque, two Escher players, and an Orlock player. Looking at the gangs, I am not a fan of the Goliaths models and Corpse Grinds are just too gross. I want to stay away from Enforcers, so it seems to leave Squats and Van Zaars as my best options. I simply like the models. I am a huge Dwarf fan, so squats seem to have the edge. That being said, has anybody played Squats? Do you like them? Are they good for a beginning player? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 I've always been a fan of Cawdor. Nothing like religious zealots burning everyone with holy fire! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 I liked Rat-Skins, but they no longer exist. Cawdor is definitely very 🔥 heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Squats are so new I’m pretty sure they haven’t been played yet, at least in our area. I play Van Saar and can assist with questions regarding them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Well, I went in with the Squats and sent out an order. I bought dice through an Etsy site. I am looking for a list builder since Yak Tribe does not have Squats in their list builder. I guess I was spoiled by Corvus Beli having lists ready to build on their site as lists are released. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Welcome to the best game. Now you get to be the guy that has played squats. The Club Campaign will be back this fall, you should hop in. All the cool kids play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted August 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Okay, my squats don't arrive until Monday, so I went locking for Cards and Books. The GW store is sold out of everything but one big box set, but I could order my book from them, so I did. The employee game me blind box of the model of the month: a cool Ash Waste Nomad. 😀 I went to Guardian Games. They have a good selection of books, but not the Outlander book. They have the a nice set of gangs including the squats, and Cawdor, Orlock and Nomad Cards. Geeks & Games were sold out as well. With models arriving on Monday, I decided to build a few pieces of dedicated Necromunda terrain with bits, pvc piping, boxes, and mdf walls. The piping is glued and drying. I will spray it soon. The walls were initially primered blue and green for Infinity terrain, but I put a first dusting of bolt gun over it. It is drying and needs a few layers, then washes and graffiti. It is my project for the night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 The Dice arrived! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 I am not sure what the dice are used for, but I was told they are essential. The grey and green are Brehk's. The other two are mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Okay, today, I painted two long walls and four short walls. They looks rusted out and dirty. I need to clear coat them and add some graffiti, but essentially they are done. I constructed two sets of pipes and base coated them . Finally, I have one loot box done and a cat walk prepped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted August 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 While waiting for my models, I went to Brehk's last night and started kit-bashing this Grox-BBQ stall. I needs a bit more work, but not bad for a few hours of work. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted August 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 It is the same sprue times two. I photoed the top and bottom of the sprue. There are 64 pieces. Some I will not use. There is a lot of head options. My dear wife is calling them the potatoes. I replied, "No, they are the Spudniks!" She said, "They have their eyes on you!" The bases are disappointing, I wanted the new cool, hive ones..... or something other than the standard 28mm base. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 @scottshoemaker I love your hab level. My question is, "Where are the Scavies?" @Exile I will be repurposing the Infinity Risers for the Hive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted August 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 First three models are assembled with a Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid pose on the double bolt pistol drill-kyn, an Aliens pilot helm on the drill-kyn heavy stubber,and the Chapter Master with his Clan Mask and Iron Head Bolter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Tonight's Work! The gang is done. A heavy stubber, a bolter, 2 Autogunners, auto pistol, stub gun, and dual bolt pistols. I have one model left over for last minute fill in after I figure out what I may need. The sprues have no flamers, combat shotguns, or meltas. Oh, and I fixed the bases by adding bits and grubbins. . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted August 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Okay, I am back! First, thanks to Parker, I borrowed his Necromunda Rulebook and have been reading the rules. Overall, I am impressed with the scenarios and combat rules. When I came home, the box troll delivery system dropped out a parcel from Games Workshop. My Book of the Outlands arrived. The edges of the last 30 pages were stuck together, but that issue was quickly fixed! Next, I have been in touch with@scottshoemaker to hire his services. Finally, since my previous road trip, I have been listening to Sump City Radio. It is amazing. I could not be more entertained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
