Squat

A Squat is a space dwarf. They used to exist in Warhammer 40k until somebody got embarrassed and decided their homeworld would be eaten by Tyranids, although recently there have been rumors that Squats may be returned in the upcoming 5th Edition of Warhammer 40k. It is popularly believed that Games Workshop sends out teams to assassinate, kidnap, or otherwise inconvenience anyone who dares mention them. One possibility is that the Squat nobles demanded that some impossible-to-acquire item be put in each of their rooms, and thus locked up the entire working class of squats, and the whole race starved. Another theory is that Creed is using his tactical genius to hide them until the final showdown with Chaos. It's kinda likely that, what with their "We haz technologeez!", being dwarves, drinking, not being assholes, and generally not being depressing, Games Workship decided they weren't grimdark enuff, and subsequently fed them to the Tyranids (who exist to eat Games Workshop's mistakes, obviously), and at the same time branding the mention <censored for heresy> as heresy. Heresy - the perfect excuse to retcon!

Isn't the fact that they hate Orks and Eldar just a confirmation that Eldar ARE space elves? Not like anybody thinks otherwise, but GW (and a lot of 'hardcore' fans) tend to explode in RAEG if the space-elves are called space-elves. Which they aren't. At ALL. GRRRRR.

It's /tg/'s version of the Candlejack meme.

Squats Sighted With Bigfoot on the Island of Mu

It has always been suspected that Squats weren't simply lost to a Tyranid attack. After all, men don't get their legs broken just for discussing people who have been eaten. Rather, the Squats probably saw something they weren't supposed to see and had to "disapear" for a while. Come to think of it, there is a race called the "Demiurg" who are short, drunken miners with a love for technology and a hatred of Greenskins and Eldar. Strangely enough, they popped up after the Squats disappeared; it's probably a coincidence, though. They sell their services to the TAU of all people, so it must be.
