I know Moscovian didn't want me to do this, but all the, to me bizarre, over-focusing on the "new name" of the Squats in the EPIC: Xenos fiction, instead of playtesting to get the army right, has really frustrated me.

So, here it is:

SMURFS

There will be Fighty Smurfs, Bikey Smurfs, and Armoured Smurfs, just to name a few, and don't forget the Smurfwagons and Smurfpanzers!  Due to certain special rules in the army, you'll be forced to purchase at least two dozen blue dice as well as always have an apple handy when playing, as all their weapon and movement distances use "apple increments".

Some might say this steps on the Ultramarines' toes a bit, but due to the smaller stature of the Squats Smurfs, the Marines probably won't notice.

I really hope this clears things up and lets us all get back to the more important task of developing the army lists.

Now living in Ottawa... any EPIC players want to meet up?

I vote that their name should be... The Spanish Inquisition.


Because who would expect that?

The Squats do have a secret name, they're just not going to tell anyone.
