Wikipedia is your friend. Always check anything on Wikipedia before asking, because it probably has an article about it!

Here ya go

Also, since they don\'t exist anymore as far as official fluff you can just get creative and make up something cool.

this is what i have written so far, peicing together bits of wikinfo and me own creativity:

As one of the few remaining Squats in existance, Jorm Lokisson has speant most of his life living in the underhives of various Imperial planets, being able to make very few allies. He used to be a seargent stationed at a Squat embassy on a small Imperial world, but after the Tyranid Hive Fleet decimated the Squats home planets, The Imperium turned on the squats, accusing their remaining armies of heresey for not beleiving in the machine spirit. The squat armies were disbanded and told to hand in their war machines.
Jorm managed to keep his armour and weapons, but couldnt stay on the planet he used to live on. He caught a ride on a freighter going off-world. Ever since, Jorm has lived his life moving from planet to planet, offering his services as a bodyguard/hired gun.

Hi, PM your e-mail address and I\'ll send you everything i got on squats.

It\'s a zipped word file about 30mb big. If you want it.

Or anyone else for that matter.

I seem to remember that the studios epic Squat army hailed from a planet named Golgotha situated in the core worlds

GW (the company whose lawyers will shaft you for even thinking about reproducing anything vagueley resembling power armour) stealing another biblical reference and trying to pass it off as there own intillectual property? sureley not!!!lol

Question: Does the Pope own the copyright to the Bible??? lol

Anyway Mount Golgotha was supposedly the hill upon which Christ was crucified, so technically it\'s already a place name. They could just as easily have called it Scummy Coventry *Damn I did it again*

Yeah, but who\'s gonna call a planet \"Coventry\"??

\"Hail Colonel Nazreem of Talos, I am Colonel Kevin of Cleethorpes\"

Doesn\'t have that gothic ring to it does it...

The Squats may be making a comeback as the \"Demiurge\" or somesuch. GW didnt like the squats because their background appeared sorta silly.


This is the same company that calls its coolest people \"Space Marines\" and allows the Tau to exist. I think GWs reasons were BS and something else happened. I have a whole army sitting on a shelf- Revered Ancients, Exo Armour and Guildmasters and all. They are useable in a \"counts as\" army but really-who would they count as?
