+ Merry little Christmas – what did you call us? +
+ The Leagues of Votann storm into the Antona Australis sector – or rather, are unearthed after a long time. +

+ Squats – kin is kin +
I've posted quite a bit about space dwarfs in 40k over the years. I thought they were a concept that deserved to be involved in the Antona Australis sector (the PCRC's little corner of the 40k galaxy, where the majority of our battles are fought), so tucked the Ironstaff League in back around 2013, as one of those threads that I planned to explore one day. +
There's an inload about the League here – [+noosphericinloadlink embedded+] – and since then I've painted and built a few squats here and there.
They've turned up as parts of tutorials [+noosphericinloadlink embedded+], and as part of my other projects; notably Castaway alongside Inquisitrix Barbari Kills in the Endworlds project [+noosphericinloadlink embedded+], and in the Ashes of Armageddon, where they moonlight as part of the Norgyr League [+noosphericinloadlink embedded+].

That little dip into the past should give you eyestrain from so much reading, so I'll leave this inload fairly short, and let the pictures of the painted Kill Team do the talking:
Warrior and Gunner – I think the yellow helms really help the models to pop, and give a nice retrohammer feel.
Kinlynk, Theyn and Lugger – the Theyn is from the other Kin Kill Team; I just wanted him to stand out a bit. His gun counts as a bolt revolver, based largely on the six-shooter-style bit.
A rear shot here to show the medic's backpack (centre), along with Tomb the dwarf's (a deep cut there, for anyone looking for out-of-universe references) walking suit. Again, this Thunderkin model is a stand-in for a normal Gunner with plasma beamer. I thought a Kill Team deserves at least some special effort.
J33VS and WSTR, the team's Ironkin, along with the... uh... other specialist, whose name escapes me. I've come to enjoy the Ironkin background after being a bit sceptical.
... and to round things off, a big group shot.
