Doh! Reset the clock.

If we create a Squats forum, maybe we can break the clock completely.

Maybe if they weren't named "squats" they'd still be with us.

Terrible, terrible name.

Those records have been expunged, citizen.

There is no way you could know about them unless...

HERETIC! WITCH! BURN HIM!

Are you sure?

After all, it's not like he turned anyone into a newt or anything. :)

It wasn't the name but some dullard who used to hang around WHW ranting about squats so much that they killed them off - for ever...

A squat on a hover board with a vortex grenade blew up my first car; it was an '89 Eldar Solitare coincidentally.

I think Squats were an endearing concept - and really well suited to the IG list as it stands.
Locking it is about as well advised as the Scopes trial.

I missed the whole squats thing. They were the space dwarves?

My brother still has his Squats from back in the day. Unfortunately, he hasn't updated them. Squats were actually a force to be reckoned with. They were comparable to the IG. The only thing that screwed them was their movement, 4 inch if I remember correctly, and of course their name. The Hearthguard was cool and I really enjoyed their version of a Terminator armor.

Oh come one. I actually played Squats back in the day. Let them die in peace! =)

Squats don't Deserve love. GW had to kill them off TWICE. Let them rest in pieces in the belly of the Hive Fleet.

I prefer the look of Olley's Armies (http://www.olleysarmies.co.uk/gallery.html) to that of the Hasselfree Minis. Texan Scrunts?

That's too much!

thats a little harsh. i have never understood why there was so much polarisation caused by squats. you either love them or hate them - there seems to be no middle ground....

its like the female spce marine debate in a way.....

I;ve yet to see a reasonable argument why those are good.

Squats work though. Really well as a matter of fact, they were just badly executed. I'd kill to see a kitbash of Fantasy Dwarfs and an IG army done well.

Well they aren't completely dead... Don't they live on in the Demiurg? Or at least the concept?

I wasn't aware that there even was a female space marine debate. I haven't gotten any comments yet on my female SM Sergeants >.> Of course I usually run with allied Sisters so it's probably not as weird.

That looks awesome Mumbles :)

I think I have been converted to the Squat side. They would make pretty good Ratlings.

The squats live on in the hearts of all children everywhere...who live in Normandy...that's right...Normandy...

Wow, that is actually a pretty well done squat. I like it.

To be perfectly honest, I would still consider that weird.

i have a squad of them that i was going to use as Tau Fire Caste. I was even going to turn a Crisis suit into a Demiurg ExoSuit. It got really expensive so i abandoned it...

Xarius, those look really neat. Although, why is there a catachan manning that stubber in the third picture?

I think squats should never have been taken out of the game. They seem(ed) awesome! Although, a friend says that they never existed in 40K at all...

Those are decent conversions. Only ones you've done?

Well, I thought the Unreleased 2nd Edition Squats looked pretty good, still too obviously a mix between guard/marine/dwarf, but a huge improvement over the RT ones - much like all the 2nd ed metals ;

http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Squats_-_Unreleased

Personally I think they should do Demiurg as a Tau Ally. They only need 1 plastic box and a few blisters really, the rest can be done as conversions for those that want pure Demiurg. I bet they'd sell really well too ;
