Last year this image started making the rounds:



It shows some Squat/Demiurg-looking guys - short with leather jackets and big guns. Whatever happened to them? The most common rumor I heard was that they were going to be for a miniatures supplement to Dark Heresy, reflected by the limited poses on the models and the DH cards around them. The one on the left makes them look like multipart plastics, while the one on the sprue (which is a different color material, so it's probably not actually ON that sprue) suggests similar. I don't remember any conclusions on these guys, and they kind of faded away when Space Wolves rumors popped up. Anywho, sorry for opening an old can of worms, but I'm interested to know what became of them.

I had heard those cards and minis were things the artist and staff had generated internally for their own campaign. They were gray resin. That the model there was not on a sprue, just coincidentally lying in a position to make it look like it was.

I guess the joke was on us, and somewhere, so massive geek with loads of time,. money and/or talent is still laughing at us.

Maybe?

I do wish they would 'officially' turn up though.

Unless, of course, that means FFG go the WHFRP 3 route with DH.

In that case, I hope they stay lost forever.

Photoshop?
Picture accidentally uploaded from Earth 2?
Long range planning?
Dark Eldar actually not coming, Squats are?
Test models?
