I just spotted this rather impressive piece and project, and thought I'd share it.

Not a bad execution, but Squats deserve to be so much more than just Dorf in SPAAAAAAAAACE!

I'm not a fan of dwarfs generally, but they look good, really good. That walker is particularly awesome.

I love it!

BRING SQUATS BACK!

Love them, but still not 40k enough. The walker's great though, as is the art. Thanks for sharing it

But that's how most 40k armies work like Orks (Orcs in space), Necrons (Tomb Kings in space), Eldar (elves in space), Dark Eldar (Dark Elves in space), Chaos Daemons (Daemons in space), Space Marines (knights in space), Imperial Guard (Empire in space), Ogryns (ogres in space),

Chaos Space Marines (Warriors of Chaos in space) and Ratlings (Halflings in space).

I believe the creator of these minis has a blog here on Dakka.

If they brought Squats back it would be nice if they had an actual understanding of technology. Perhaps bringing them into conflict/disagreement with the Mechanicus as they tinker and improve it.

It's an interesting look, but toning down the runes would be nice.

I pray to god they never bring the space dwarves back...

Why?

I think we need something else less Humanoid in the setting, but beyond that I don't have a problem with Squats. Perhaps the name needs changing.

Yet another Imperial army, with more-of-the-same technology?

I can't really think of another niche that needs filling in terms of playstyle, so any army being introduced will be replicating what is already there (and to be honest, most armies can do most things now already anyway...).

They should write them back into the background at the very least. They're a nice little concept.

If we get anything else, model wise, I'd hope it would be Xenos based.
