Codex - Squats
A special note first: this is redrafted (mostly) from the 2nd edition ruleset.
There is no attempt as yet to introduce anything "new" to the army list, rather the intention is to get everything across as faithfully as possible.
Points costs have to change because of the change in the gaming meta, while some statlines (such as an extra attack here... a WS/BS nerf there) have been altered to make more sense when compared to units with similar purposes in other armies.
Bear with me while I get all this info transcribed.
- Please note that while I have altered things in the list to suit the modern environment, I'm not going out of my way to reproduce "up-to-date" descriptions/rules on things that already exist like bolters, chain axes etc. Go find them in the BRB.
