12TH CADIAN MECH REGT (Abhuman heavy!)

[SDKFZ]

Ahh, now i remember. Thought you were going to scratchbuild a squat colossus Silly me.

[Colonel Jacka]

Silly me and that from the man who is to build a full Squat Land Train. LoL!

[Colonel Jacka]

Right as you may know SKDFZ and myself are doing a Troop transfer. You may also know that SKDFZ has got the jump on me and completed his Squad while I have been overseas. Bugger! But all is not lost! Today I have started and the first eight figures have been undercoated.

The 12th Cadian Squad that is transferring is from Black Company, 2nd Squad which is a veteran squad made up of Squats and Cadians. Also some Veteran Troopers from Jacka's HQ have volunteered to go. Sgt Jones leads the Squad armed with a Bolt Pistol and Power Sword. He has a Vox Officer and and a Shotgun wielding Trooper named Thomas. One of the young Squat Troopers named Logan volunteered to go as well. Jacka has sent two of his best Melta Troopers (when they arrive from FW that is!), a Flamer Trooper and three of his best Vets armed with Las Guns and lots of Grenades.

Just got to paint the Buggers know!

Rather like the Squats, makes me wish now that I hadn't binned the dozen or so metal blokes I had in a box back in mid 90's . . . .

[SDKFZ]

A bit unfair on my part, starting when Jacka was away on a journey. I just couldnt help myself, i just loved the idea of a squad transfer and had to start the project.
They look ace, Jacka ! The cameleoline on the plasmagunners is awesome, you can only see their bases
See that youve managed to build a carbine trooper yourself

Ash, i gave some of mine away................now i wish i hadnt

Ash, Ash, How could you! The poor little guys never had a chance went straight form the mold to the bin. It was the 90's though so your excused just like that decade!

Yes the Plasma Troopers are well hidden. Thought you would not notice! Yes I have done a Carbine Trooper with one of my had one plastic Squats. Getting down in the numbers of plastic dudes Faolan start looking. And I thank all those guys that gave away their Squats so that I could have over a hundred of the little blokes.

[Faolan]

Not my fault you were away when I spotted that large Squat army on Ebay for you mate!

[Colonel Jacka]

True mate but it was a good find. Never seen that many in one sale before.

[SDKFZ]

Over 100 squats How do you do that ?

Guess i have to start E-bay:ing if i want more of the little guys.

[Colonel Jacka]

Well as you can see Sgt Andersson and 5th Squad 33rd Tulean Mech Army Cav (SKDFZ transfers) have now joined the 12th Cadian Mech Regt and been posted to Red Coy Recon Platoon because of their Veteran Status. This is the first non Squat Squad to join Red Coy.

[SDKFZ]

Sweet ! They look right at home in the Red Coy Recon Platoon.
Very proud to be the first halfsquat unit in this platoon, Mate !

[Colonel Jacka]

Once again my mate Faolan has come through and found me more Squats on Ebay. So I've topped up my plastic Squats and I have lots of arms all is good. Been wanting to do this guy for awhile so I completed him while finishing SKFDZ Squad. I am going to do a Evac Squad I have the vehicle and some other medical figures, but what I'm after is a stretcher bearer party. Does anybody know any figures that I could use?

[Faolan]

Glad to be of service, sir!

[Colonel Jacka]

Glad to be of service, sir!

Well now keep you eye out for a stretcher team!

[DigitsDavid]

Stretcher team will be very simple. Plastic cadians. Right arms being the straight down helmet holding arms, left arm a little trickier but easily doable with special weapons straight arms. Alternative ready made figure for one bearer is the jerry can carrying vehicle crew guy. For your chaps and your love of things abhuman, try converting an ogryn to be carrying casualty on his own?

DD,

You have given me an idea! Ta mate! The Ogryns may be a little big. But Squats carrying a Cadian now that will work!

All,

As you can see I have finished the Squad I am transferring to SKDFZ and now I cam back to my projects. For the moment that is. I sarted to finish of Rictus Gun Bunker. I sealed the lower part of the Basilisks mount and drilled a whole and inserted some aluminum rod to allow the Gun to traverse in the mount. This work a treat. I should have these completed fairly rapidly. There probably a days work to complete. I have done the soil and painted the bunker and the Guns just have to get the final painting and decals.

[SDKFZ]

Jacka, the squats would never carry a stretcher, they would get some sort of remote-vehicle to do the job.

My squad is done ! Great, cant wait to see them IRL.

[Colonel Jacka]

Hmmmmm! That's right they would do that.

[Faolan]

Ah-hah, I can help you out there, Jacka. Give me a few days to work some magic.

Knew I could count on you Jake! you will have seen something. I know I have seen a stretcher party somewhere.
