Hi again! Jaldon, you are right in that Squats will never retrn as "squats", but if we can convince GW that there is a lot of people out there that would like to see the "space dwafs" again, maybe the Demiurgs will have a greater possibility to appear in the 40k (and then in the epic) game. The last army GW launched in warhammer 40k were the Back Templars, and i can assure you most people wished the next army were a non-imperial one (at least in my country). If GW launchs the Demiurg it would be very good as there would be another non-imperial army, and also the Tau army would improve, as they actually don't have a wide variety of troops to choose from.
Aso... may i help with those listings? maybe i could search the net for images and squat symbols...

Hi!
I just cant understand that if they exsist in fantasy why not 40k? If they want to pump some more cash from their customers and new army would do that easily....

Not that I'm defending GW's decision not to revive Squats, but I don't think Skaven ever appeared in 40k.

They aren't politically correct? Really? Why?... Well, I'm trying to say... a lot of GW products could be seen as Politically Uncorrect... Squats are nothing exaggerated IMO...

| Quote (kr00za @ 28 Nov. 2005 (11:22)) | Squatz were never a proppa race in Epic and even less so in 40K. They were just a quirky addition to the Imperial Guard.
They just never had anuf stuff to make them a sizeable force, "unless u like ur army to consist of lots of identical regiments n vehicle"
Its a shame coz the stuff they did have was good.  |
That's why I like that NetEpic expanded the TO&E for the Squats. It gives them more choices.

Hi!
Epic is quite ahead of 40k in expanding the squats. It gave them some character in the form of huge warmarchines, which is difficult to do in 40k.
I think epic was developing them nicely as a Clan bound, tech race with emphasis on overly large vehicles and tanks. Too bad they were cut from Epic 40k.

I don't think titans would fit in the theme of squats well. Instead, the Juggernaut vehicles of old times would fit them perfectly. Truly _gigantic_ tracked fortresses, bigger even than Capitol Imperialis.

Sure they had the awsum Colossos and Cyclops not to mention the LandTrain, but a Squat Titan would have been so very cool. Theres a good few other model that can be proxied as a Squat Titan, but GW should have made one themselfs
