My guess is 4chan.

Everything wierd comes from there.

If that's the source then I am hinting towards fan project, they can be quite industrious over there.

In more ways than one

Squat Hearth Guard re imagined.

Sig away. We must always remember the Squats.

Yeah... Squat for the Squat God!

Why on earth would anyone do that?

Any remember about 8-10 years ago there was a small game GW was supposedly developing, I think more on the fantasy side, sort of as a gladatorial game. I think I remember something about in a WD and remember it was hex based movement. Just a thought.

Mordheim pit fighter, it was printed in the late and great Fanatic mag issue one.

Nicorex is right, it is just a sprue put around a figure... Also all the cards are laminated which makes it seem more like a demo game of some sort.
Just out of curiosity, could a totally new Marine chapter be counted as nothing to do with any current armies...? That way if it is Space Hulk it would confirm the no conection to current armies (ie Dark Angels, Ultra Smurfs etc)

The speculation will not end until the revelation. I for one am really hoping it's some type of Dark Eldar update, even though that is looking very, very unlikely from my point of view.

I think all of us are waiting for that fabled Dark Eldar update, but it's like trying to find the end of the rainbow. As soon as you think you're on top of it, it's all just a big lie and you're left alone, crying.

Again.

Considering the new WFRP is a "board" game, a future version of DH as one is no longer surprising: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=729

GW have never really refused to acknowledge that squats ever existed.

The Ian Watson Inquisition War trilogy was published with Squat character intact. The blurb at the front explains why they're currently not present in the game. They've had no problem with Squat armies at GTs.

Squats were dropped from the game because the studio couldn't figure out what to do with their fluff to make them a worthwhile part of the background that was distinct from other, better selling, armies. Aside from occasionally getting exasperated at the same tired old questions at Games Days, GW have never, at least so far as I've heard, had a problem acknowledging them as a part of the game's history.

And for what it's worth, Demiurg aren't Squats reimagined. They're an alien race. The two are completely unrelated, aside from both being short.

Got Squats? I really didn't care about the box, until I saw the Squat-like mini's. Things that make you say...hmmm.

The 'Squats' may have nothing to do with the box. In fact at the moment all they appear to be for is Dark Heresy, which I doubt will be in the box.

It may also contain a pork pie.

I hardly see a pork pie's got anything to do with it.

Then how about a turnip?

Good God, this is a madman!

PINEAPPLES!

Perhaps a turtle pie for Dakka?

It's now only two days and counting till we get to see the new Space Hulk.

You're calling it?

I'm still on 'Wait and see' mode.

I would say its a price hike book - 2000 pages worth. The money for it is to pay for the printing.

Otherwise I want space hulk. That would be nice.

Hmm, Space Hulk it is then.

At this point, I'm interested either way. Squats would be nice, although I'm still pulling for Space Hulk...

I'm thinking the only problem might be if they're Inquisitorial scale, which would be just about useless in my 40K universe... :(

If BoLS says it's Space Hulk then it is so..

i thought the standard saying was that if bols says it, they heard us talking about it.

So sayeth the great Taco, so shall it be!
