I'm 100% in support of GW bringing back Squats. Because if they can come back from the dead, then there is hope for any faction.

I looked into when the Squats were squatted and it looks like they left 40k just after I did! I hadn't realised how long it had been.

Note to GW - while I am enjoying getting back into Warhammer via AoS, I have no plans to restart 40k - but if you bring back Squats I WILL BUY THEM! 💰

I am in support of squats because in a silly sci-fi universe with space elves, orcs and goblins it feels more out of place not to have space dwarves. How the writers and creators didn't just say that Imperial Knights were piloted by admech squats and only occasionally release pilot figures for special events is way beyond me though. It was the perfect way for us to have our cake and eat it too. 

I am guessing that today we will get a scroll, book, icon, or weapon that could easily fit both systems. But that I will immediately jump to conclusions and assume it is Kurnothi, Umbraneth, Chorfs or Silent People...

I would be in support of Squats if they were cool. I have no nostalgia whatsoever for the miniatures from ye olden days of yonder, and that's the only version of Squats I know. I'm no designer, but if they were to remake that army with the skill and creativity that went into Lumineth, Hedonites, Kruleboyz etc. I'm sure they'll come out awesome.

If Squats do make a comback (outside of Necromunda) will the phrase squatted have to be changed? 

Will 'squatted' start to mean 'removed, but there is hope, just wait 25 to 30 years'?

(and now I am feeling VERY old)

Hope you like shorter space marines. 😔

I also feel that space dwarves are just almost like a blank slate. Space elves are in many many scifi settings but dwarves are rare and often times third grade faction when it comes too scifi. 

So far we know they have ships and affinity for engineering and guns but those that we have "seen" in novels and BSF are not part of the main civilization so their technology could be much much better than some scraps that we see. Really hyped but I hope they won't be purely imperium aligned.
