Dear Dakka Model Connoisseurs,

I want to make Squats. I want to make them, so bad, but I'm not sure how.

Here are my thoughts so far on how to make a Squat Heavy Infantry force happen:

Codex: Space Marines (This force will be based around exo-armor.)
Tactic: Raven Guard (-1 to hit at over 12" because they are short. Infiltrate stratagem represents burrowing in before the battle.)

Tactical Marines/Devastators
Mantic Games (MG) Steel Warriors (http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/warpath/forge-fathers/product/steel-warriors.html) mixed with GW Grundstok Thunderers (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Kharadron-Overlords-Grundstok-Thunderers-2017) with some imperial-like weapon swaps.

Scouts
MG Brokkrs (http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/warpath/forge-fathers/product/brokkrs.html) mixed with GW Arkanauts (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Kharadron-Overlords-Arkanaut-company-2017) with some imperial-like weapon swaps.

HQs
MG Forge Lord (http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/warpath/forge-fathers/product/forge-father-forge-lord-ingulf-krestursson.html) and GW Arkanaut Admiral (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Kharadron-Overlords-Arkanaut-admiral-2017) with some imperial-like weapon swaps.

Venerable Dreadnought
MG Iron Ancestor (http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/warpath/forge-fathers/product/doomstorm-pattern-iron-ancestor.html) maybe unmodified, 'cause it's just that pretty.

That's what I'm thinking about starting with. Is there a better way to Squat? Am I messing this all up? How would you Space Dwarf?
