Leagues definitely do not like Orks. At all.

Some Squats were members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and some Holds would readily fight alongside the Imperium.

I’d need to check my books, but I think IG used to be able to field limited Squat weapons.

If you mean mole mortars and thudd guns, then yes. But, a lot of big guns and tanks were shared (such as the infamous harlequin land raiders) due to the limited number of kits at the time. Not sure there was ever really a fluff reason.

I meant Squat squads. Dunno why I typed weapons!

I find the 60/70s hard sci fi look fine, it just doesn't sing to me. And the occasional random Norse flourishes just seem out of place.

Much prefer the steampunk vikings of epic and the Sky Dwarves of Age of Sigmar.

I'm finding both to be out of place for me... maybe a bit more story and lore will help bring it all together.

Right now I'm asking myself why they even have iconography of bears and animals etc? Where does that come from for them?

The giant faces makes sense.

That's an interesting point. We, being Earthlings, know all about the things here. Bears, elephants, moose, wallabies. They're here.

But do those things follow humanity into the void? And does Terra even have wildlife in M41?

Nibelungen In Space is fun, but how would the iconography translate so far into the future? Best not to think too much about it, I suppose.

In M41 they have used all the water on earth to cover it in hundreds of storeys of concrete. There could be whole sub-levels lost to history where it’s wall to wall bears.

Otherwise I’m sure there will be rats, mice, foxes, feral cats, snakes, weird tentacle beasties and lots of Catachan face eaters lurking in bathrooms.
