But no 'nids ever showed up there!

On the OTHER topic, I'll open another thread so we can discuss it, and I recommend reading books over scanning through them with Cntl + f looking for the word 'sex'. You might find there's a little more to it then that.

it was Hive Fleet Jervis. they ate a civilization of Ninjas on the way into the galaxy.

they hopped in, ate the squats, and vanished.

What's the Doomlance?

The Doomlance is what those Exobikers on page 5 have. Don't remember the stats, but it was basically an auto pen attack from bike mounted termies.

I am wondering if the answer to the original question is already found?

Yes. The answer to the original question is 'What on earth are you talking about? 'Everybody' doesn't hate Squats.'

Great. Just checked.

Okay, not to bring up again an off-topic conversation in a thread that was silly to begin with, but I had used quite a few more keywords than "sex" in my original search, including "urge", "desire", "need", "want" and pretty much anything else that could remotely be construed sexually. Nothing relevant came up.

But yes, you're right that such a search does not compare to actually reading the book. Well, I'm about 85% through the book so far, and I see no evidence of what you're claiming. So unless they all start fething like bunnies in the last 20 pages or so, I'm calling bs on your whole argument. Considering you haven't created another thread, I'm going to assume that you finally realized you're incredibly, super-duper 1000% wrong.

I never really thought they were that well thought out in 40k and the few times I played against them they weren't very good. Epic however was another story, my friend had a squat army, they were pretty cool.

They were slow and eldar were fast. But the M characteristic was just too hard for people, much like hit modifiers, see GW's target market 10 year olds can't do math.

We hate them because they're Xenos.

I did create it, last week.... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/375370.page

Several people talked about it briefly without really coming to a consensus, and then it more or less got dropped. And I didn't say they screwed like bunnies, I said they struggled with their sexuality. It's not always as blatant as a trashy romance novel.

Thought I should share.
