Well after posting some GK rumors i have returned with some more interesting tid bitz.

Squats will be returning with the TAU!
depending on printing problems it is possible they will be slated for November 2011 moving the Necrons back

Squats will be a troop choice and have t4 s5(with battle axe) 5+ 5+FNP(intoxicating save) and SAP but will be allowed to charge 6" instead of rolling
There is a squat HQ but no info yet.

Kroot are still in as well as the firewarriors

Character unlocks crisis suits as troops and they have gotten much better.

hopefully more to come in the upcoming months. Enjoy


So maybe some kroot went to eat some dwarfs and the dwarfs had barbiqued kroot and joined for the greater meat?

Or just elaborate trolling (with dwarfs....mindblown)
Barely even lurking..

Interesting if true, epsecially after GW have been so adamant that Squats would never, EVER make a come back and stop asking as a smack in the mouth usually offends! Migtht have to dig my Tau back out if this is true. Got hacked off after spending months painting them then the Purity Seal made them all white! They went back on a shelf and have been there ever since, that was two and a half years ago. As a by product of this I don't use any form of varnish any more, had several different makers do this to me.

Get outraged about it then!

That happened to me, with a unit of night lords.
I went to the local and went balistic.

I was told that this could happen, as it was a fault in the manufacturing process, that the entire spray can was propellant and no varnish (or some such missmatch).
About 1 in 1000 chance.

I got a new can of varnish (it was fine) and a new box of night lords.

Afterwards, I applied a few wash coats (a bit difficult at first, the surface didn't take to it well), but eventually, they came round and I can use them.

Good luck.

Ruffian, I did and got some new Fire Warriors but I'd just lost motivation with them after that massive kick in the crotch! Like I said it wasn't the first time this had happened as it had done it previosly with my SM command squad with 100 hours of work and a hand painted mural standard (which I managed to recover) with a different batch and also a Humbrol spray had done it to me. I now simply do not use varnish as I have had too many bad experiences with them. Its a bit of a pain trying to get weathering powder to stay on without it though!

I suppose from a background point of view it makes sense for them to go with the Tau. The Sqaut guild worlds where wiped out by the Nids (forget which hive fleet) and there must have been a few surviviors that fled (hence the Demiurge in BFG apparantly). They probably ended up down with the Tau and asked to be part of the Empire for protection. I suppose they would have a bit of a cob on with the Imperium as they did nothing to help them and they got munched.
