Warhammer 40K Squat knights: Squat Juggernauts

Full credit to OldenDemon for this one, and his videos on the history of 40K Epic Knights

So in White Dwarf 178 – Page 12 it actually gives a name to what, in context, would be the equivalent to Squat Knights: “Squat Juggernauts”, no further details were ever provided, but it’s the nearest we have ever had, and I’m going to go with it.

 

Word Bearer Runes

Quick tip for anyone painting Word Bearers in the Warhammer 40K tabletop world. You will have seen the runes that they are famous for covering their armour with and that appear on their transfer sheet:

Well, it turns out they are just Enochian “the mystical language recorded in the journals of John Dee.” which is open source and for which you can find lots of open fonts to make your own

I also include one here in case they all disappear: enochian

Easy Overnight Oats

Recently I have been trying to eat a bit better and cheaper; one way that has worked has been easy overnight oats, and while there are hundreds of complex recipes out there, this is the simplest one that I have found that works for me

In a leakproof tub (I favour the Clip & Seal Lunchbox – Medium from Elephantbox which is 800ml).

1. Chop a banana 1

2. Chuck 2 cups of rolled oats ( 360 grams) in the bottom

3. Blend or mix 2 scoops of protean powder (80ml) with about 500 ml of oat milk. I have found that the extreme protein mix from The Protein Works is great and works well (the Salted caramel bandit is my favourite to go with banana).

4. Pour this over the oats and top up with milk to fill up the tub. Close and give a good shake, then leave in the fridge overnight.

This version tastes like Banoffee pudding. <happy sigh>

  1. or chuck in a handful of fruit; the frozen bags of it you get in any supermarket are perfect[]

Notes

  • Why Spray Chaos Black First?
    Spraying with Chaos Black before Leadbelcher gives a richer and smoother metallic finish.
