Jervis was present and there was confirmation that work on Codex Imperial Guard is underway, but not much else. There is also talk within the studio of expanding the playtesting cycles which go into codices (yay!).

Apparently to the shock of all, he brought up Squats!!! The crux of the conversation was that GW has a 5-year plan to hit every army that was not addressed in 4th and bring them up to speed for 5th Edition. Apparently Witchhunters & Daemonhunters is towards the tail end of that period. Once that is finished, if GW can spare design resources (which they cannot do now), they may look towards re-introducing the Squats as a completely re-imagined new xenos race, with a total break from their Rogue Trader original concept (so perhaps the Demiurge concept).

about time! *reaches for squat models*

HAHAHAHA, this is hilarious!!! I just posted in another thread (on warseer, I think) that the squats was a race I would love to see being properly introduced... to much cool fluff about them to be ignored, and I think they will fit perfectly into the 40k universe... If they do this.. that will be my next race of choice... haha

Durn it, just when I had resolved that I would sneak them into a game under the Abhuman doctrine as slave levies.

I assume that this would mean a figure range and likely a slump in the second-hand squat market
