Default Squats

I downloaded the Wargear book from Emule recently, and it contained a race in 40k I've never heard of. I want to know more about Squats!

They had a ridiculously stupid background.

I'm so thankful they were removed.

Plus, do we really need another human army? There's already four (or five, if you count Chaos).

The Squats were, IMO, a failure to further tie in the WFB universe with the W40K universe. Space Dwarves? Lame! However, their memory lives on, imortalised in the halls of....?

OMFG Squats, I thought I would never hear their names again... (thank god)

They are basicly dwarfed guardsmen! Though failed economicly for the company GW. Fluff wise, after the heresy the Imperium banned mass mutation, and using mutants within their ranks. Thus squats were "disbanned"
