Jaakko and Forin - The Long Forgotten Squat Brotherhood - Wrap-up

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he to-day that sheds his blood with me, shall be my brother.

...and suddenly another season of OWAC comes to an end! This season was somewhat heavier than the previous one but I'm very happy with the resulting army and the memories of blood, sweat and tears are already starting to turn golden. I didn't have enough time and momentum to finish everything I wanted and will probably continue to paint Space Stunties for another month or two and am enjoying it a lot at the moment. But that's enough talking, let's look at some pictures!

 The Long Forgotten Squat Brotherhood of Forin Leadenshield

 

Bikers ended up being my favourite part of the army and I wish to paint another squad of regular bikers and a biker Warlord at some point.

The thudd gun must be the my favourite heavy weapon in this project and, along with the mole mortars, something I always wanted to include in the Squat army to be.

It seems that I'm picking favourites from the pictures and the living ancestor is another one. A fun little decrepit thing. I have the sidecar riding variant in the painting que but unfortunately didn't have time to include it into the leader month

 

As you might have noticed I managed to get some painting done this month too. I really wanted to finish at least one tank and I'm pretty happy with how this Land Raider turned out. It took a lot of time to paint the monster with my teeny-tiny brushes and I'm considering getting an airbrush in the future. You can also try to find a new standard bearer and a chainsword wielding Squat from the middle part of the main army picture.

I've had this tank for ages and I'm super happy that it's finally painted. I decided to use the hammer with wings as a recurring motif on machines and vehicles and figured that a banner wouldn't stay pristine if attached to a tank and made it a bit rough.

This season in points:

The OWAC adjusted model count was used except for the Termite and Land Raider

 

What next?

As mentioned, I still have some Squats left to paint during the off season, but my thoughts are already turning towards OWAC VIII. I hope to take part in the next season if it's possible and have a few options in mind. I think I'd like to enter with a massive horde of orcs & goblins. On the other hand, I've always dreamt of a Bretonnian army, my dwarves really should be beefed up and I have some chaos dwarves and halflings in the pile of opportunity. Well, I quess we have to wait a few months and see what happens.

Finally, many thanks to Overlord Byron, to all members of the organizing committee and fellow challengers! Things have gone smoothly through the challenge and it was a pleasure to follow your projects again.

Hope to see you all next season!
