Mechanicus maybe yes, after all the effort put into hunting down the information - maybe in this month even.
Squats not, cause I know too little on them. Hell, I have not been around the 40k universe before they were chewed by the bugs...

there isn't anything official about the squat, and i tend to think we wont see a list for them in the vault anytime soon. It's possible that a demiurd list appears on day, but it all depend, in fact, on the Wh40K team : they decide for major new background or changes.
However, something like 6 month ago, Jervis asked for some propositions for squat lists; i don't know what he intended to do with it, but well, it may give some kind of hope for our short friends. As Jervis seem to consider important to give old players and armies something to use their mini with, it's quite possible we'll see a list after all. don't quite know.
There are lists in the "fan list and rules section" in the playtester forum but i suppose you allready got them.
Now, if you want to build your army, don't wait for the official list; basing conventions are pretty permisssive in E:A anyway (specially combined with the count as rule), i think you should base anything the way you think look best in any case. That's what i do with my minis, even for "official" lists.

Okay, okay, I might consider writing this afterall. Notice the "might".
But to do so, my CPU needs a lot of data. So to say, provide as much as possible, and I may start working.

So it was predicted, as it will happen! I am sure that I saw a version somewhere, and although it was a while ago, I assumed that it was yours...
Anyway, I remember that Jervis was calling for a 'counts as' list for the Squats to translate to Imperial Guards, but this is not really what I am looking for. I am fine with counts as lists, but at some point they inevitably break down as some units dont match particularly well. I am coming to the conclusion that it would be better just putting together my own army list for my home games anyway. The chance of ever seeing an official list is pretty much non-existant anyhow.
I will start with the troops and post here when I have a thought (it could be a while  ). The important thing is the stats. First up, should every infantry base have a heavy weapon, or should there be a 'support/firefight' base with only small arms (as well as the obvious heavy and berserker bases)?_________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

There was a version being worked on - it was on EPICentre.
It was 99% completed, just waiting on the final doc being drawn up by Dysartes. The reason it isn't public is because it is being pipped for Fanatic magazine.

Best bet is to email dysartes, webmaster of dysartes.com. As far as I am concerned we have finished our bit  .

) ... Bikers, Trikes, Iron Eagles, etc. ... there should some thing that "=" this or that. An Iron Eagle could = a Vulture (?), etc., etc. ...
