Editing Squat

[[Image:Squats.jpg|thumb|right]]A '''Squat''' is a space [[dwarf]].  They used to exist in [[Warhammer 40k]] (with a planned Codex mentioned in the ''Second Edition'' Codex: Imperial Guard) until somebody got embarrassed and decided their homeworld would be eaten by [[Tyranid]]s.  It is popularly believed that [[Games Workshop]] sends out teams to assassinate, kidnap, or otherwise inconvenience anyone who dares mention them. One possibility is that [[Dwarf Fortress|the Squat nobles demanded that some impossible-to-acquire item be put in each of their rooms, and thus locked up the entire working class of Squats, and the whole race starved.]]  Another theory is that [[Creed]] is [[Just as planned|using his tactical genius to hide them until the final showdown with Chaos.]]  It's kinda likely that, what with their "We haz teknologeez!", being Dwarves, drinking, not being assholes, and generally not being depressing, [[Games Workshop]] decided they weren't [[grimdark]] enuff, and subsequently fed them to the Tyranids (who exist to eat Games Workshop's mistakes, obviously), and at the same time branding the mention of <censored for heresy> as [[heresy]].  Heresy - the perfect excuse to [[retcon]]!

Isn't the fact that they hate [[Orks]] and [[Eldar]] just a confirmation that Eldar ARE space elves?  Not like anybody thinks otherwise, but GW (and a lot of 'hardcore' fans) tend to explode in [[RAEG]] if the space-elves are called space-elves.  Which they aren't.  At ALL.  [[Butthurt|GRRRRR.]]

They're now /tg/'s version of the Candlejack [[meme]], since mentioning them gets [[Inquisition|GW to send death squads after you.]] Fortunately, the two memes cancel one another out.

Fa/tg/uys fear that the [[Sisters of Battle]] will become 'Squatted' (be made obsolete). However, recent updates in [[White Dwarf]] and leaked pictures of new designs make this seem unlikely.


== Squats Sighted With Bigfoot on the Island of Mu ==
It has always been suspected that Squats weren't simply lost to a Tyranid attack.  After all, men don't get their legs broken just for discussing people who have been eaten.  Rather, the Squats probably saw something they weren't supposed to see and had to "disapear" for a while.  Come to think of it, there is a race called the "Demiurg" who are short, drunken miners with a love for technology and a hatred of Greenskins and Eldar.  Strangely enough, they popped up after the Squats disappeared; it's probably a coincidence, though.  They sell their services to the TAU of all people, so it must be.
