3d printing squats

I have a soft spot for old-school squats and have a few metals but browsing 3d printing websites I found some squat lookalikes in cults. They came unsupported but printed ok. I painted them up in the style of the old plastic box set art. I also found some files for trikes and bikes so might have a go at printing them.I have a soft spot for old-school squats and have a few metals but browsing 3d printing websites I found some squat lookalikes in cults.

What are these old squats doing on square bases?What are these old squats doing on square bases?
Squares or round
That's better That's better
Fantasy on round bases, nnoooooo. I did a video on Advanced Heroquest and realised having round bases on a square grid board is a bit odd. I felt bad rebasing these old minis but it works better in my mind.Fantasy on round bases, nnoooooo.

Olhammer 40k army

This army was a labour of love over 15 years ago. I used to go into warhammer world once a month and use their catalogue service to order bits to complete this army. I realised its never rolled a dice in anger. Some of the conversions such as the cold one riders are a bit bad by my modern standards but I remember taking my time with the paint work which followed zulu war colour schemes. I got this army out because I'm thinking of saying goodbye to it in the new year and selling it on for minis I will actually use. They look good on a shelf but I have historical zulu war minis for that.This army was a labour of love over 15 years ago.

Nope, just another way out.  There is no way to progress so realising we are in the wrong dungeon we had for home leaving 5 dead henchmen behind but a stack of gold found on the dead skaven. Better luck next timeNope, just another way out.

The new floors led to a hazard room and a trsp that my dwarf dpotted snd disarmed. Hacking through another lair I find a long tunnel ahead which annoyingly led to two normal empty rooms.

Advanced hero quest has solo rules so I had a look at the adventure in the book. My heroes with some men at arms have to explore the dungeon and kill a skaven sorcerer. The dungeon generates randomly and I had to find a quest room with stairs to the next level on the third level i will find the sorcerer. Howard can it be.Advanced hero quest has solo rules so I had a look at the adventure in the book. My heroes with some men at arms have to explore the dungeon and kill a skaven sorcerer.
