We came to know them as Squats, but when this model was released they were Space Dwarves!
I do like this model, no idea why I painted it “pink” or is it purple. I think I was playing around with the different Citadel Colour paints at that time.
Lots of blending, but could probably do with some “washes” to smooth out the starkness of the paintwork.
Here are a couple of very old Space Dwarfs, which were from the very early days of Warhammer 40000.
There is a commander with power fist and one dwarf with a heavy bolter. These dwarves were in many ways like the Imperial Guard of that era but with shorter legs. As a result they weren’t as popular with gamers. They did evolve a little into the biker gangs (which I didn’t like) and then were unsummarily deleted from the range by Games Workshop.

Rumours abound that they are coming back… one day perhaps…
