The Return of the Space Squats, now with full photo survey of sprues!

 

Bastion Gaming Center has them in stock now $180US

        Games Workshop has finally brought back the dwarves for 40K. They have gained the much more dramatic title of "Leagues of Votann" (as opposed to the classic title "Squats") but they are the same short angry guys. My understanding is that their rules are so slanted that they are already being banned from competition play but my interest lies in the minis, not tournament nonsense. And some fine-looking minis they are! My only complaint is that they are probably a bit too much like tiny Space marines. The models are very well cast in the standard GW gray plastic with no flash and nearly no mold-lines. They are broken down into loads of tiny components which will ease posing and building different weapons load-outs, but may require very steady hands and might result in eye-strain looking at the tiny bits. But no more ado, lets take a close look at this boxed set.

the packaging is very sturdy, an outer sleeve over a strong inner box

some folks were asking about size, 

this is the best I can do without buying a box to assemble them

 

 

the back armor is about 1mm higher than the top of the figure's head 

so I'm going to go out on a limb and say the assembled dwarf is about 22mm tall
