So lost in the news of the <drool>
Ultramarines Movie </drool> came word this weekend of a new offer from White Dwarf. Get a subscription to White Dwarf, get a Squat. Yep, the ol' 40K proxy for the dwarf of Warhammer Fantasy. No word on if this means a return of the squats, or just a cool offer from White Dwarf. (

There was some noise a little while back about a new race for 40K but it seemed more like wild speculation than anything substantive.
ReplyDeleteSo either this is just GW giving the Squat lovers at least a nod, or it's a precursor to a new push for Squats.
Without wiping out the established canon for them (Their homeworld was consumed by the 'Nids), I think it'd be a good move to have surviving Squats make for Tau space and join up with them ala' the Kroot and Vespids. I think they'd fit in nice there, though historically they have solid (if troubled)history with the Imperium, the humans already have enough factions rounding out their roster.
