The Crew's All Aboard Cap'n - Final Squat Pirates

I'm bookending my hobby output quite nicely by finishing off the year with the last 3 squat pirates from the crew that I started in January. I'm really pleased to have got this iconic set of 10 squat pirate sculpts painted with a couple of additions (a squat adventurer, the dwarf pirate and of course the big ugly ogryn). I do have some transport planned for the crew, but for now they'll just have to put their boots on the ground!

The last 3 additions are a nice selection. There's a Time Bandit-esque squat in retro pilot gear, a classicly styled crewman with headscarf and eye-patch, and the frankly maxed out fella with the braided beard, hook and horned hat.

The pilot's arms come from an Old School Miniatures space dwarf, whilst the flamer is built from Uscarl parts.

The hook-handed squat got a North Star pistol, with most of the arm sculpted over a piece of bent wire.

In terms of painting, I went for more variations on the predominantly purple and green theme.

I wish I'd stripped off the old undercoat on this guy as the beard seemed to lack definition. I ended up trying to paint on the texture.

It doesn't really show up too well, but he's sporting a gold tooth second from left!

This guy went from being my least favourite squat pirate (too boring), to one of my favourites. I'm pretty happy with how the goggle lenses turned out.

All in all this has been a thoroughly enjoyable extended project on a pretty obscure set of figures. I'm really pleased to have painted them all up and ready to use.

I told you that Gydran vehicle would be a good scale for squats!
