    Default Squats are back.

    In the appendices in the 6th ed 40k BRB there is a small section on Abhumans, 73 species of which are recognised, 47 or so are extinct. Squats are then named specifically and not in context of being extinct.

    The term squatted is now meaningless.

    The Squat home world got eaten by the nids, but the Squats were all over the galaxy so I wouldn't expect them to be extinct.

    If you can have beast men as Guard and Javis said Squats should count as guard to. Just need to know what trikes, choppers and exo armour counts as.

    I guess something from the tau codex?

    40k where space marine jet bikes count as bikes and squat trikes count as imperial guard cavalry

    Actually more recently it was declared Squats never existed and depictions of Squats were handwaved away as misintepretation of Demiurg. So this is a major retcon.

    Annoyingly I sold my Squats on Ebay in 2009. I made an absolute mint, probably drunk the proceeds. I wish I had kept them, now I struggle to sell anything just in case. Afterall, my firstborn has 2 kidneys if we fall into financial dire straits...
