I've been playing warhammer for over a year and I hear from time to time about how the Squats just died because people did not play them. Do you think that telling the players that the squats were all eaten by Tyranids was the best that Games Workshop can do. If not please post your ideas. I'm interested.

To be fair, it was either that or introduce Space Skaven.

Thats a very good point but still they could have sead some thing like they were sent to purge the planet T'au after it was discovered to have an alien race that discovered fire but they were lost in a warp storm that was affecting travel to and from the system.

GW made it's statement

basicly

The designers felt that the "Dwarven" concept was not given justice, and that the Squats were more of a joke race.
There existed a design disparity with the Warhammer 40,000 and the Epic-scale renditions of the race, which prevented there being a cohesive vision of the race.
Despite the efforts of the design team, they were unable to think up ways to revitalize the concept

plus no one played them or cared unilt they were removed

so they had the 'nids come and OMNOMONOMONOM and bacome one of the best races in the game

Tau are commies. Boo.
EDIT: I declare this the general 40k thread. In other news, I am just starting a Ravenwing army.

Thought of the day: It is better to die for the Emporer, than to live for your self.

Of course Dante, that's because "Green iz da best".

Orks are also one of the most powerful species in fiction. I mean, they make stuff work because they THINK it should work.
