IG and Squat Coalition

[hooliovoncoolio]

Finding my brother's old squat army, I was quick to add them to my IG army.

The only thing is that there were ( to my knowledge) no squat tanks, anyone have any ideas on conversions I could do?

Army List: (pics coming when I have quality camera)

On the IG side:
1 command squad
10 vets
1 Platoon of Guardsman
1 Sentential
1 Leman Russ
9 Ratlings (I have a soft spot for half-lings)

On the Squat side:
6 HeartGuard
1 Warlord Biker
1 Bike with side car
3 Regular Bikes
1 Trike
14 Squats
1 Apachus Machanicus (butchered name)
4 Exo-armored (2 tech engineers)

Apart from the bikes and trikes Squats had access to Land Raiders and Rhinos in their old list. In Epic they may have had some kind of digging machine and those massive Leviathan command super heavies.
Are you counting the squats as guardsmen? There are no official rules for them in 5th.

Squat vehicles were mostly limited to Epic. Their Super-Heavy tanks included the Colossus, which carried a Gyrocopter and the one with the enormous starship-killing weapon (Hellfury cannon?) based on the same chassis. That and the Land Train, as well as the Goliath Mega-Cannon, that was effectively a Stationary Basilik a smidge smaller than a Warhound Titan. Oh and the Overlord Airship that was an armoured blimp with three battle cannon down each side.

They had a lot of support weapons, though,being able to choose from Mole Mortars, Multilasters, Rapier Laser Destoryers, Tarantulas and Thudd Guns.

Not much you can do with 5th edition rules, tbh, but making your own up for house rules is always fun.

A scratch built land train would just be awesome.

I'm still convinced you could make a pretty valid Squat army from the Guard list. Might be worth converting the tanks so they look different to Guard ones, but use "counts as" for them.
