This is how I plan on playing my existing Squats Force. I prefer the Space Marine stats as they are closer to the original Squat stats than most other armies. I have all the models listed just need a few bits to make them whole. Will post pics at a later date... when I get a decent camera that does Macro or Zoom shots.

Updated.... with Pics!

That's a great way to use Squats. Back in 1992, I had amassed quite a solid Squat force. When the race was phased out, I stupidly sold them). Now, I wish I had kept them and used them as Marines.

Hehe, nice collection of squats

Anytime I see the regular squat infantry I think of 'Time Bandits'.

A few years ago I helped a freind of mine build a squat army using dwarf plastics, SM and CSM bitz. We steam punked up some old MKI rhinos & preds, and hacked some warjacks into a dread and a few obliterators.

Sadly he was a horrible player(total TFG, mis-measure, dice cheats, extra figs slipped into units) and I totally regretted using so much of my bitz collection to set him up.

But- I bring this up because after seeing Mantics new dwarfs- there may be alot of conversion potential there
