I am a 40K gamer these days, and once upon a time, I used to be one as well. Back in the Before Times, I had a sizeable Squat army which I sold back in the Spring (never guessing I would be playing 40K again a few months later.)

Seeing the new Khaos Dwarf pics from Mantic has really given me that Squat itch again (although I know they are very unpopular with some people.) I would love to field a force of these guys in the 41st Millenium. They have solid plate armor, I didn't see any fiddly chainmail in the pics, which means with the right paint they could easily be wearing carapace or power armor. They have some shooting arms so I can add the guns I need for any force.

Which begs the question: which Codex to use for them as a "counts as" force? I already have or am planning 2 Eldar armies, 2 Dark Eldar armies, 3 Witch Hunter armies, a Space Marine army, an Ork army, and a Vraks 2 Heretics and Renegades army. My previous inquiries on other forums has suggested the upcoming Grey Knights codex or Necrons.

Thoughts?

Just a heads up - the some of folks that I see in illustrations for Mantic's upcoming SF release look a good deal like... Squats.


The Auld Grump

Most of the Squat players I have heard about tend to us Imperial Guard. Not very flavor worthy, but...I guess it works.

Most of the sugestions I've seen say IG.

BoLS one did an article on which codex for which army (Blood angles for PH world eaters )
