Squat Trooper

They might be Squatted and their elite troops may look like walking eggs, but god forbid if you touch their stuff.

Troopers are your common Squat joe. Akin to the Imperial Guard but more awesome. While they are often depicted in comic relief and may be wearing the cardboard armor that many Guardsmen wear. Squat Troopers defer by having weapons that can hit like a truck. They were the Tau Fire Warriors back in the day.

Hell. The most notable aspect of Squat Trooper Squads is their ability to deploy any number of heavy weapons. In this respect they are unique among the basic tactical forces of the Imperium. Meaning that you can equip them with an array of anti-tank weapons that can make a Imperial Guard cry in his sleep.

Most Squat members of the military form themselves in a large conclave called a 'Brotherhood'. Brotherhood troops are generally armed with the simple Lasgun, but Squats being Squats. They have a tendency to overcompensate their short height with massive guns. Thus, most Squats have at least one heavy weapon, and sometimes an entire squad may be equipped with heavy weapons. Since no Squat would be consider himself fully dressed without at least one sidearm, it is not unusual for Squats to go about armed to the teeth as a matter of course. Whereas the average Imperium citizen carry a simple sidearm and a blade weapon as part of self defense. Squats on the other hand, carry Plasma Guns, Conversion Beamers and other advanced shit as their equivalent. Fucking Awesome.

Overview

Typically operating in Combat Squads of roughly eight troopers equipped with Lasguns, Bolters, and Flak Armour, the most notable aspect of Squat Combat Squads is their ability to deploy heavy weapons such as Autocannons, Conversion Beamers, Heavy Bolters, Lascannons, and Multi-Meltas. Yeah we ain't kidding when we meant that the Squat's most basic troop can fuck your shit up.

The only downside is that they cost 215 points for one squad (That is one leader and 7 troopers). So they are quite fucking expensive for a mainstay Squat army.
