That movie made me smile. Their new advertisement strategy is really funny, and since some time I really do like what they publish. The comeback of squats and beastmen is very well appreciated!

All I took out of that ad is that they're seeking to placate the masses by releasing a single model instead of a larger gang.

There are "masses" who want them to bring back the Squats?

A very small group of highly vocal fans is probably closer to the truth.

I'd say there'sa very small group of non vocal fans who have been getting on with collecting squat armies, and there's a roaring mass of memelords who think it's endlessly funny to ask GW about the squats, and after so many years the joke has worn thin enough the GW is killing it.

Hell, even the meme of resetting the squat clock comes from the community as a response to people making jokes about squats, and GW have LITERALLY SMASHED THE CLOCK, all to get people to bloody well shut up!  lol

I think the mini will be wonderful and sell like hot cakes in the arctic tho, as people will desperatley want it just for the sheer humour of finally having a squat.


never trust a horse, they make a commitment to shoes that no animal should make.

And half of them are people who just want squats to return without any intention of buying anything released after 1991.

I honestly think they would sell like hotcakes. They could do a release like the genestealer cult, not masses of figures but endless appeal.

Squats as a separate Guard unit (Or whatever they are calling the imperial guard these days).

Years ago who'd have thought they'd bring back 'Stealer Cult as a full army so anything is possible when it comes to other forgotten gems thoughout the year to make a come back.

Me, I was over the moon when they did the Beastmen Bounty Hunter (Even at £20) so if they are bringing back a Squat even if it will just be only a single release I'm still chuffed as I'd rather have the option of buying it than not.

Big (Ha!) Squat fan and even had my own range of Evil Space Dorfs sculpted and I'd still happy to see a new GW Squat :)

Now I just need plastic Noise Marines in the RT style and they can have all my monies.

Got an email from Wayland today with a pre-order of the new GW plastic zombies.

I've been waiting for this for so long...

Anyone got any teaser pics of what they look like?

I can't believe they are still trying to sell those misshapen horrors (and not in a good way)
