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.

Am also going so far as to drag out old Wargear Cards which were basically the 2nd Edition versions of Special Issue Gear & Relics.

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.

Allies

Battle brothers: Squats
Allies of Convenience: Tau Empire, Armies of the Imperium
Desperate allies: Craftworld Eldar, Harlequins, Necrons
Come the Apocalypse: Legions of Chaos (Chaos Space Marines, Renegades & Heretics, Daemonkin, Chaos Daemons), Dark Eldar, Tyranids, Orks, Genestealer Cults

Special Rules

Bitter Hatred - Models with this special rule have the Hatred (Orks & Tyranids) USR.
Hardy souls for Hardy men - Though the Squats have relatively little in the way of warpcraft, the Squats are innately resistant to the touch of the warp and possessed of incredibly strong and stubborn wills. Tales abound of Daemons finding the Squats unafraid of their monstrous natures and simply gritting their teeth and shrugging off storms of warp power. Models with this Special Rule are counted as having the Adamantium Will and Stubborn USRs.
Subterranean Assault - Rumbler Borers and Tremorbane Drillers are always placed in reserve and arrive in the game automatically on turn 1 via the Deep Strike rules modified as shown below, with the vehicle itself arriving first and the Borer Assault unit arriving on the subsequent turn through the opening it has created. Rather than placing the model for the vehicle while Deep Striking, place a Blast (3") template instead. Roll to scatter as normal to determine where the template is placed. If the template is placed in clear ground, place the vehicle on top of the template as normal. If the template is placed in contact with an enemy unit, fortification or building, that unit suffers an immediate Tank Shock or Ram attack by the vehicle. If this attack is sufficient to displace the enemy unit so that the vehicle can be placed without an enemy unit being within 1", or destroys the fortification, vehicle or building in question, then the Deep Strike is successful and the vehicle is placed on the table over the template. If not, the vehicle suffers a Deep Strike Mishap with the roll on the table modified by -2. If the ‘Deep Strike’ template is partially or completely off the table, on top of a friendly model or in some other form of impassable terrain, the vehicle suffers a Deep Strike Mishap as normal.
League Affiliation - When choosing a Squat detachment, whether Primary or Allied, you must choose a League Affiliation which will apply to the entire detachment. Models with this rule will have an additional set of special rules. Units with a specific league in () may only be taken as part of a detachment affiliated with that league.
- League of Emberg
  - Touched by the Eye - Characters in this detachment have the Champions of Chaos rule as per Chaos Space Marines. If results of Chaos Spawn or Daemonic Ascension are rolled, then instead choose any other mutation. In addition, Independent Characters from this detachment also have access to the Chaos Rewards list from Codex: Chaos Space Marines and a few additional unique Chaos Rewards.
  - Mark of Hashut - Models from this detachment may purchase the Preferred Enemy special rule for the points cost below.
    - Independent Characters: 10pts
    - Thunderers, Squat Bikes, Clanless Refugees, Sappers and Warriors: 1pt per model
    - Hearthguard: 2pts per model
    - Exo-Warriors, Support Weapon Teams and Attack Bikes: 3pts per model
    - Bull Centaurs: 5pts per model
  - Daemon Engines - Decimator Daemon Engines, Defilers, Forgefiends, Maulerfiends and Heldrakes may all be taken as Heavy Support choices (see Codex: Chaos Space Marines and Imperial Armor Volume 13). Decimator Daemon Engines in a League of Emberg detachment may not be dedicated to any chaos god. In addition, all Heavy Flamers wielded wielded by these units get replaced with Heavy Fusion Projectors, all Reaper Autocannons and Twin-linked Heavy Bolters get replaced with Twin-linked Shot Cannons and all Hades Autocannons get replaced with Rotary Shot Cannons.
  - Legacy of Interaction - Add Hatred (Chaos Space Marines, Chaos Daemons and Renegades and Heretics) to their list of Bitter Hatred enemies. In addition (Ironically) they may also ally with Chaos Space Marines, Renegades and Heretics and Chaos Daemons as Battle Brothers.
- League of Thor
  - Cybernetic Wealth - Models in this detachment have the Feel No Pain (6+) special rule which does not stack with a better version of this rule if one is available.
  - Display of Ostentation - Thunderers may be chosen as Troops choices in Battle-Forged armies.
- League of Grindel
  - Learned from Subjugation - Add Hatred (Squats) to the list of Bitter Hatred enemies, the Warlord for this detachment may choose his own Warlord Trait instead of rolling.
  - Humiliated but not broken - Models from this detachment roll 3D6 when making Morale tests and discard the highest dice.
- League of Kapellar -
  - Fonts of Wisdom - When making Reserve rolls, units from this detachment may add or subtract 1 from their roll. In addition, Guild Engineers may add +1 to their Battlesmith rolls.
  - Master Artisans - Characters in this detachment may upgrade one of their weapons to have the master crafted upgrade for free.
- League of Norgyr
  - Imperial Influences - Characters in this detachment may be ordained as Lay-Priests of the Ministorum for 15 points, granting them the Zealot USR.
  - Legacy of Interaction - Add Hatred (Forces of the Imperium) to their list of Bitter Hatred enemies. In addition (Ironically) they may also ally with the Forces of the Imperium as Battle Brothers.
- Demiurg
  - Stronghold Starships - Any unit with a 4+ save or better may deep strike onto the battlefield.
  - Legacy of Interaction - Add Hatred (Tau Empire) to their list of Bitter Hatred enemies. In addition (Ironically) they may also ally with the Tau Empire as Battle Brothers.

Warlord traits

Grudge Bearer: This Warlord has devoted himself to settling grudges on behalf of something. Whether it's personal, or in representation of a brotherhood, planet, system or even entire league, the grudges must be settled. The Warlord has the Hatred USR for the primary detachment of the opposing army, if this is one that he already has hatred for due to Bitter Hatred he may then re-roll to-hit in melee in every round of combat rather than the first.
Guild Apprentice: This Warlord has great knowledge of how to bring down the heaviest of enemies, having studied the weakpoints of numerous large creatures and vehicles. The Warlord and his unit have the Tank Hunters and Monster Hunters USR.
Shield Wardens: The Warlord has made his vows to never give the enemy an inch. The simplest way to do this is to stay alive. The Warlord and its unit may re-roll failed armor and invulnerable saves.
Master Miner: Physical labor is not considered beneath the higher classes in Squat society and is instead highly appreciated honest work. This Squat has learned the art, able to make paths through stone as if he was making a path in an open field. The Warlord and his unit may Deep Strike, arriving from underneath the battlefield in situations where it applies. If the Warlord can already Deep Strike from a different source then they do not scatter when Deep Striking.
Refugee Leader: This Warlord has devoted himself to rescuing the many Squat refugees that have lost their homes to menaces such as Orcs and Tyranids. The Warlord gains the Fearless and Feel No Pain (5+) special rules.
XXXXXX Brewer: A common joke about the Squats is that they make their ale out of the same things they make their flame weapon ammunition. While incorrect, much of the chemical knowledge that goes into making an excellent brew can also serve to making incredibly potent flame weapons. The Warlord and any unit he joins receives +1 Strength on any flame-type weapon that they use (including both profiles of the Fusion Projector) and may re-roll failed armour saves vs flame-type weapons.

Fighter Aces

Roll a D3 to determine the trait of the Wing Leader.

Vengeance Bringer: Gain preferred enemy against the primary detachment of your enemy, if using a weapon that already rerolls to hit, reroll to wound or penetrate instead. If both apply, gain rending or improve existing rend rolls by one (rend on a 6+ becomes rend on a 5+).
Damn the winged beasts: Every hit, whether or not it successfully wounded or saved, forces a grounding check on Flying Monstrous Creatures and Flying Gargantuan Creatures. Against Flyers and Super-Heavy Flyers, the pilot may modify the result on the vehicle damage table of every penetrating hit by 1.
Reinforced flier: Add one hull point to the model with this rule.

Wargear

Weapons

Chainaxe - This counts as an AP4 Close Combat Weapon.
Heavy Chainaxe - A larger and heavier versions of the traditional Chainaxe, these weapons hit much harder and deal serious wounds to anyone who is stupid enough to not bring proper protection. Originally designed during inter-hold Squat conflicts to deal with warriors armed in iridium-based armour, later they were re-purposed to combat heavily armoured non-Squats such as both Space Marines, Ork Warbosses, and Tau Battlesuits.
- Profile (Range: -, Strength: x2, AP: 2, Rules: Melee, Armorbane, Unwieldy, Two-Handed)
Forge Weapons - These oversized weapons take the form of axes, hammers and occasionally greatswords. Made from alloys of magnesium they have a favorable tendency to spark when they strike a target, potentially setting them ablaze. However, due to the reactivity of such alloys the weapons require a great deal of care to maintain; therefore a Squat will take great pride in his Forge Weapon and will become greatly offended if the weapon is mistreated by others.
- Profile (Range: -, Strength: +2, AP: -, Rules: Melee, Two-Handed, Soul Blaze, Flammable)
  - Flammable - Weapons with this rule count as "Flame" type weapons for the purposes of interaction with other rules.
Charonite Claws - When the League of Emberg first made the Bull Centaurs, they equipped these powerful mutants with the same Charonite Claws used by the Charonites of the Imperium's Auxilia, bonded in place of the Bull Centaurs own hands and forearms. The design is meant to amplify the super-human strength of an Ogryn and can work just as well at doing so with a Bull Centaur, crushing and ripping through armor plate and ceramite with ease. If a Bull Centaur can get ahold of a target with both 'hands', they are designed to retract apart from each other, savagely dismembering the victim.
- Profile (Range: -, Strength: +1, AP: 3, Rules: Melee, Flesh Ripper)
  - Flesh Ripper - Any rolls of 6 To Hit are AP 2 and have the Instant Death special rule.
Fusion Projector (borrowed from HH:2) - Fusion Projectors are remarkable flame based weapons that are both more elegant and potent than the flamers wielded by the other species of the galaxy. They can be used to incinerate a swath of targets like a regular flamer or focus their jet into a searing cutting arc. Fusion Projectors come in four sizes of both increasing power and energy consumption. Wielders of such weapons can choose to fire one of two profiles:
- Light Fusion Projector
  - Dispersed Profile (Range: Template, Strength: 3, AP: 6, Rules: Pistol)
  - Focused Profile (Range: 3", Strength: 6, AP: 1, Rules: Pistol, Melta)
- Fusion Projector
  - Dispersed Profile (Range: Template, Strength: 4, AP: 5, Rules: Assault 1)
  - Focused Profile (Range: 6", Strength: 6, AP: 1, Rules: Assault 1, Melta)
- Heavy Fusion Projector
  - Dispersed Profile (Range: Template, Strength: 5, AP: 4, Rules: Assault 1)
  - Focused Profile (Range: 12", Strength: 6, AP: 1, Rules: Assault 1, Melta)
- Clearance Fusion Projector
  - Dispersed Profile (Range: Template, Strength: 5, AP: 4, Rules: Assault 1, Torrent)
  - Focused Profile (Range: 12", Strength: 6, AP: 1, Rules: Assault 1, Melta, Blast)
- Super-Heavy Fusion Projector
  - Dispersed Profile (Range: Hellstorm, Strength: 7, AP: 3, Rules: Primary Weapon 1)
  - Focused Profile (Range: 36", Strength 8, AP: 1, Rules: Primary Weapon 1, Melta, Apocalyptic Blast)
Mining Tools - As incredibly prolific miners, a good deal of the mining equipment used by the Squats can also function as effective weapons of war. Drills, picks, saws and other assorted tools can break flesh, armor and vehicle hulls just as easily as solid rock.
- Rock Cutter - The hydraulic shears of rock cutters were designed to free trapped mine workers from industrial accidents. When the Squats march to war, their irresistible grip is used not to save, but to kill. Profile (Range: -, Strength: x2, AP: 2, Melee, Unwieldy, Snip, Mining Tool)
  - Snip - When a model suffers one or more unsaved Wounds from this weapon, it must pass a separate Toughness test for each Wound suffered or suffer Instant Death.
- Rock Drill - Far cheaper and easier to maintain than a Power Fist and just as effective, the Squats have modified their Rock Drills to be used as weapons. Its triple grinders can turn even the stoutest enemy champion to gory gobbets of flesh. Profile (Range: -, Strength: x2, AP: 2, Rules: Melee, Unwieldy, Pulverize, Mining Tool)
  - Pulverize - If the model using this weapon can make 2 or more attacks this combat phase then it may exchange all of its attacks for a single attack made at S10 AP2.
- Rock Saw - The blades of the heavy rock saw are designed to cut through dense boulders of ore – when the time of war comes, they slice through the hulls of enemy vehicles as easily as a butcher slices through meat. Profile (Range: -, Strength: x2, AP: 2, Rules: Melee, Unwieldy, Armourbane, Mining Tool)
  - Mining Tool - This weapon has the Two-Handed special rule unless used by a model wearing Exo Armor or a Walker.
- Lascutter - The Lascutter is more a tool for mining and salvage than a weapon but can be used for devastating effects against fortifications and other stationary targets. Profile (Range: -, Strength: 9, AP: 2, Rules: Melee, Two-Handed, Unwieldy, Cumbersome)
  - Cumbersome - A model using a Lascutter can only ever make a single attack at WS 1 in the assault phase, regardless of their profile or any other special rules.
- Power Pick - Power picks are simple enough in design. They bear a low-quality disruption field powerful enough to shatter ceramite like glass. Profile (Range: -, Strength: +2, AP: 3, Rules: Melee, Unwieldy)
- Demolition Charge - A Demolition Charge is usually meant to safely demolish buildings or blast apart stones but these traits also make it capable of tearing open the hulls of battle tanks. Profile (Range: 6", Strength: 8, AP: 2, Rules: Assault 1, Large Blast, One Use Only
Servo-Arm Profile (Range: -, Strength: x2, AP: 1, Rules: Melee, Specialist Weapon, Unwieldy, Repair Assistance)
- Repair Assistance - A Guild Engineer with a Servo-Arm adds 1 to its Battlesmith rolls. These bonuses can stack.
Servo-Harness - A servo-harness gives the bearer two servo-arms, a plasma cutter and a fusion projector. In the Shooting phase, the model can fire both harness-mounted weapons, or one harness-mounted weapon and another weapon.
Plasma Cutter Profile (Range: 12", Strength: 6, AP: 2, Rules: Assault 1, Twin-linked)
Macro-Hammer (inspired from Rogue Trader) - These sophisticated hammers incorporate a number of nano-sized warp portals in the hammer-head that burst on contact, causing a localized warp disruption. Profile (Range: - , Strength: +3, AP: 2, Rules: Melee, Unwieldy, Concussive, Two-Handed, Warp Distortion)
- - Warp Distortion - Rolls of 6 To Wound have the Instant Death special rule.
Shot Weapons - Squats do regularly use simple ballistic weapons like other more primitive races do, however their mastery of metals allows them to use materials much more exotic than lead or copper for their projectiles. Their standard military armament involves weapons that fire high-density buckshot at their opponent with a high degree of stopping power yet little risk of collateral damage to starship internals or cavern walls.
- Shot Pistol Profile (Range: 12", Strength: 4, AP: -, Rules: Pistol, Shred)
- Shot Rifle Profile (Range: 12", Strength: 4, AP: -, Rules: Assault 2, Shred)
- Auto-Shot Rifle Profile (Range: 18", Strength: 4, AP: -, Rules: Assault 3, Shred)
- Shot Cannon Profile (Range: 24", Strength: 6, AP: -, Rules: Heavy 4, Shred)
- Rotary Shot Cannon Profile (Range: 24", Strength: 6, AP: -, Rules: Heavy 8, Rending, Shred)
- Heavy Rotary Shot Cannon Profile (Range: 48", Strength: 8 , AP: -, Rules: Heavy 20, Rending, Shred
Coil Weaponry - Squats have long worked and experimented with magnetism, a useful science to invest oneself into when one works with metal and electricity so frequently. Whereas the Tau's experiments into magnetic projectiles lead them down the path of railguns, the Squats wanted a weapon less temperamental, finding that the swift process of wearing that Railguns undergo made them undesirable. The coil gun, which operates under similar principles if different methods; proved to be more to their liking. Very capable of penetrating through armor, though their small projectile size meant that they impart little of their kinetic energy into a target, though it also means that they have rather manageable recoil, easily allowing the stout squats to fire them on the move.
- Coil Pistol Profile (Range: 18" , Strength: 3, AP: 1, Rules: Pistol, Armourbane)
- Coil Repeater Profile (Range: 36", Strength 3, AP: 1, Rules: Rapid Fire, Armorbane)
- Coil Cannon Profile (Range 72", Strength 5, AP: 1, Rules: Heavy 1, Armourbane)
- Heavy Coil Cannon (Solid Shot) Profile (Range 108", Strength 7, AP: 1, Rules: Ordnance 1, Armourbane)
- Heavy Coil Cannon (Submunition) Profile (Range 108", Strength 4, AP: 4, Rules: Ordnance 1, Large Blast)
- Super-Heavy Coil Cannon (Solid Shot) Profile (Range 162", Strength 10, AP: 1, Rules: Primary Weapon 1, Armourbane, Instant Death)
- Super-Heavy Coil Cannon (Submunition) Profile (Range 162", Strength 4, AP: 3, Rules: Primary Weapon 1, Apocalyptic Blast)
Squat Missiles - Squats can use explosive ordnance just as other races do, though their mastery of demolitions tends more towards civilian purposes rather than commonplace battlefield use. However, their technology is unique enough that the Imperium has attempted to duplicate some of their designs for their own use.
- Mole Missile Profile (Range: 48", Strength 4, AP: 4, Rules: Heavy 1, Blast, Ignores Cover)
- Krak Missile Profile (Range: 48", Strength 8, AP: 3, Rules: Heavy 1)
- Flakk Missile Profile (Range: 48", Strength 7, AP: 4, Rules: Heavy 1, Skyfire)
Cyclone Missile Launcher - The Cyclone Missile Launcher is exactly the same as the weapon of the same name used by the Imperium and serves the same purpose. To send a salvo of devastating missiles at the enemy. A Cyclone Missile Launcher may be fired alongside another ranged weapon.
- Mole Missile Profile (Range: 48", Strength 4, AP: 4, Rules: Heavy 2, Blast, Ignores Cover)
- Krak Missile Profile (Range: 48", Strength 8, AP: 3, Rules: Heavy 2)
Hellion Missiles - These missiles are some of the strongest missiles ever made, designed to destroy titans that are fielded against the Squats. Land Raiders that have these mounted on them have been nicknamed Grudgekeepers. Profile (Range: 60", Strength 10, AP: 1, Rules: Ordnance 1, Instant Death, Armourbane, One Use Only)
Plasma Missiles Profile (Range: 36-300", Strength 9, AP: 2, Rules: Ordnance 1, Massive Blast, One Use Only)
Doomstorm Missiles Profile (Range: 24-120", Strength 10, AP: 4, Rules: Ordnance 2, Large Blast, Barrage, One Use Only)
Tactical Bombs Profile (Range: -, Strength 6, AP: 4, Rules: Bomb 1, Blast, One Use Only)
Ion weaponry - The Squats go by many names, one of them being Demiurg; taken from a truly ancient race of Aliens much like the Squats with silicate skin that were among the first species that contacted the early Squats. The Squats adopted a close relation with the Demiurg, offering the void-dwellers a reliable source of trade until the two species became so culturally intertwined that they had essentially become two sides of a coin. One of the items the Squats received was Ion technology which itself has been traded with the nascent Tau Empire.
- Ion Pistol (Standard) Profile (Range: 12", Strength 7, AP: 5, Rules: Pistol)
- Ion Pistol (Overcharged) Profile (Range: 12", Strength 8, AP: 5, Rules: Heavy 1)
- Ion Rifle (Standard) Profile (Range: 30", Strength 7, AP: 4, Rules: Rapid Fire)
- Ion Rifle (Overcharged) Profile (Range: 30", Strength 8, AP: 4, Rules: Heavy 1, Blast, Get's Hot!)
- Ion Cannon (Standard) Profile (Range: 60", Strength 7, AP: 3, Rules: Heavy 3)
- Ion Cannon (Overcharged) Profile (Range: 60", Strength 8, AP: 3, Rules: Heavy 1, Large Blast, Get's Hot!)
- Long-Barreled Ion Cannon (Standard) Profile (Range: 90", Strength 7, AP: 2, Rules: Primary Weapon 6)
- Long-Barreled Ion Cannon (Overcharged) Profile (Range: 90", Strength 8, AP: 2, Rules: Primary Weapon 1, Massive Blast, Get's Hot!)
- Ion Annihilator (Standard) Profile (Range: 72", Strength 7, AP: 3, Rules: Ordnance 1, Large Blast, Barrage)
- Ion Annihilator (Overcharged) Profile (Range: 72", Strength 8, AP: 2, Rules: Ordnance 1, Large Blast, Barrage, Get's Hot!)
Rapier Destroyer - Profile (Range: 36", Strength 9, AP: 2, Rules: Ordnance 1, Twin-linked)
Turbo-Laser Destructor - Profile (Range: 72", Strength D, AP: 2, Rules: Primary Weapon 1, Large Blast)
Seismic/Tremor-weaponry - Immensely useful for the mining focused life styles of the squats due to their ability to casually shake apart even the hardest of earth without creating the heady smoke that a laser would, sonic technology is something the squats have thoroughly studied and developed. Though humans and Eldar also make use of the technology, the squats have made it a ubiquitous technology. Vibrations can create earthquakes or reshape the terrain, increase the effectiveness of melee weapons more cheaply than power fields, allow for easy subterranean ambushes, shake apart structures and vehicles, and reduce infantry to pulp.
- Thudd Gun - Profile (Range: 12"-48", Strength 4, AP: 5, Rules: Heavy 4, Blast, Barrage, Ignores Cover)
- Seismic Cannon
  - Close Range - Profile (Range: 12", Strength 8, AP: 3, Rules: Heavy 2, Resonance)
  - Long Range - Profile (Range: 12-24", Strength 5, AP: 4, Rules: Heavy 4, Resonance)
- Heavy Seismic Cannon
  - Close Range - Profile (Range: 12", Strength 8, AP: 3, Rules: Heavy 3, Resonance)
  - Long Range - Profile (Range: 12-24", Strength 5, AP: 4, Rules: Heavy 6, Resonance)
- Resonance - To Wound rolls and Armour Penetration rolls of 6 made with a weapon this special rule are always resolved at AP1.

Special Issue Wargear

Battle Standard - Units with a Battle Standard may add +1 to combat resolution scores in the assault phase. In addition units within 12" of the Battle Standard may re-roll failed morale & pinning checks.
Boarding Shields - Models equipped with Boarding Shields count as being equipped with Combat Shields. In addition, they count as being equipped with Defensive Grenades but may never claim the extra attack for being equipped with two melee weapons.
Combat Shield - Combat Shields grant a 6++ invulnerable save which becomes a 5++ invulnerable save in close combat.
Digital Weapons - A model armed with digital weapons can re-roll a single failed roll To Wound in each Assault phase.
Survey Glass - A model equipped with a Survey Glass has the Night Vision and Precision Shots USR.
Flak Armour - A model equipped with Flak Armour has a 5+ armour save.
Carapace Armour - A model equipped with Carapace Armour has a 4+ armour save.
Chameleon Cloak - A model equipped with a Chameleon Cloak gains the Stealth special rule.
Refractor Field - A model equipped with a Refractor Field has a 5++ invulnerable save.
Force Field - A model equipped with a Iron Halo has a 4++ invulnerable save.
Squat Exo-Armour - The Squats routinely use an armour-class similar to Terminator armour for heavy duty civilian applications such as deep space repair or internal reactor maintenance, whereas Terminator armor is a priceless relic to the Imperium, the Squats make quite casual usage of their Exo-Armor, and the Squats are proud of boasting that they have more far more Exo-Armour wearers than the Imperium has space marines. These suits grant a 2+ Armour Save, a 4++ Invulnerable save and the Slow & Purposeful and Bulky special rules. If a model wearing Exo-Armor has a 4++ Invulnerable save from a different source, they may re-roll invulnerable save rolls of 1.
Squat Iridium Armour - Though this high density metal has been recently developed for armour-use by the rising Tau Empire, the Squats have been utilizing this in their technology for millennium, albeit with a lesser level of technical sophistication. A suit of Iridium Armour grant a 3+ Armour Save and +1 to the model's toughness (cumulative with other modifiers).
Squat Warbike - A model equipped with a Squat Warbike gains the Bike unit type. All Squat warbikes come equipped with a Twin-Linked Shot Rifle.
Overdrive systems - The Squats are well aware that though they are in no danger of dying out, they are frequently outnumbered by their foes. The Green tides of the hated Orks, the rabble of Chaos and Daemonkind, the Barbaric armies of the Rak'Gol, the hordes of the Hrud, the monstrosities of the Slaught's bio-engineering, and the Scuttling swarm and more can all outnumber a Squat force. So a solution was proposed for the users of their suits of Iridium and Exo-armor, gravitic generators built into their suits increase the momentum of the wearer and therefore generate a more devastating impact when they enter melee combat. Overdrive systems grant the Hammer of Wrath (or add an additional such hit should the user already have the rule), and Rage USR.
Rune Stones - Though the Squats do not have prolific Psykers as humans or Eldar do, they do know enough of the Warp to have the means to counter witchery and daemonic power. Units with at least one rune stone may reroll failed deny the witch attempts. In addition for every model with Rune Stones the army adds an additional Warp Charge to their Deny the Witch pool in the opponent's psychic phase.

Chaos Icons, Rewards, and Marks

(Items from Codex Chaos Space Marines are not reprinted here)

Icon of Hashut - The Dark Banner of the loathsome deity of the Chaos Corrupted Squats, this Banner is well known for its ability to twist and alter sorcery. The Icon of Hashut allows all friendly warp dice rolled within 12" of the user to reroll rolls of 1, whether they are for casting or denying. In addition, a unit with an Icon of Hashut also adds +1 to your total when determining assault results
Brazen Bull of Hashut - A Skull Faced, metallic bull like creature with wicked teeth and a well kept beard of shining metal, a Brazen Bull of Hashut is offered to his most favoured Champions to serve them if they can tame it. The Brazen Bull offers +1T, +1 Wound, a +2 base strength Hammer of Wrath attack and the model becomes cavalry.
Daemonic Possession - The Sorcerers, Engineers and Ancestor Lords of the League of Emberg frequently bind warp entities into their vehicles and weapons as means to make them tougher and stronger. The vehicle ignores the result of Crew Stunned and Crew Shaken effects on a 2+. Embarked units are still affected by these results. Roll a D6 each time a unit embarks on a vehicle with the Daemonic Possession upgrade (including rolling at the start of your first turn if the unit begins the game embarked upon the vehicle). On a roll of 1, the Daemon devours a randomly chosen model in the unit, removing that model as a casualty. The vehicle then recovers one Hull Point lost earlier in the battle.

Vehicle Wargear

Armoured Ceramite: A vehicle with this wargear is not subject to the additional D6 armor penetration caused by weapons with the Melta special rule.
Armoured Cockpit: If a vehicle takes a Crew Shaken or a Crew Stunned result on the Damage Table, then on a dice roll of 4+ the effect is ignored.
Cache of Demolition Charges: In the Shooting phase, one model embarked upon a vehicle equipped with demolition charges can choose to throw one instead of firing its normal weapon, using the profile of typical Demolition Charges but without the One Use Only special rule. However, each time a vehicle equipped with demolition charges suffers a penetrating hit, roll a dice. On the roll of a 1, the vehicle suffers a further Strength 8 AP2 hit after any initial damage has been resolved.
Chaff Launcher: One Use Only. Grants a 4++ invulnerable save against missiles.
Command Vox Relay: This allows the Praetorian's controlling player to add +1 to or subtract -1 from the results of any Reserve Rolls they make while the Praetorian is in play. In addition, should enemy models suffer a Deep Strike Mishap while the Praetorian is in play, the roll suffers a -1 modifier.
Distinctive Paint Scheme: Grants a once-per-game morale check reroll for a squad in line of sight.
Helical Targeting Array: A vehicle with this wargear that chooses to neither move nor run during its turn gains the Skyfire and Interceptor special rules for that entire game turn.
Hunter-Killer Battery: A Hunter-Killer Battery consists of six Hunter-Killer missiles. A vehicle with a Hunter-Killer Battery may purchase up to two additional Hunter-Killer missiles instead of a single one.
Infra-Red Targeting: Grants the Night Vision special rule.
Illum Flares: A vehicle equipped with Illum flares may drop a single flare per turn. They are fired in the same manner as bombs placing a marker where the flare lands after scatter. Any unit targeting another unit within 12” of the marker has the Night-Vision special rule for that shooting phase.
Missile Guidance System: Grants the Missile Lock special rule.
Recovery Gear: If a vehicle with recovery gear is Immobilized, then in subsequent turns it may attempt to repair itself. To make the attempt, roll a D6 at the end of the Movement phase; on the roll of a 6, the vehicle is no longer Immobilized. Note that this does not restore a Hull Point.
Relic Plating: Grants the Adamantium Will special rule.
Targeting Array: Grants the vehicle +1 Ballistic Skill.

Tech Relics

Concussion Mace (inspired from Dark Heresy) - Designed for use by asteroid miners in zero gravity environments, the shell of the mace contains a small repulsor that can be activated by the wielder to alter the local gravity, essentially causing nearby targets to "explode" away from the mace head.
- The Concussion Mace can be used as a regular Power Maul or the wielder can choose to forego all of his attacks in melee and place the small (3") blast template anywhere in base contact with himself. Models touched by the template are wounded on a D6 roll of 4+ with an AP value of 2 and the Strikedown special rule, Vehicles instead suffer a single hit with the Haywire special rule.
Inertial Hammer (inspired from Rogue Trader) - These long-hafted hammers are designed using anti-gravity technology. When swung they seem to gather inertial energy exponentially, gradually building a tremendous striking force the further and faster it has travelled.
- Profile (Range: - , Strength: D, AP: 2, Rules: Melee, Two-Handed, Unwieldy, Long Swing)
- Long Swing: Only a single attack can be made each close combat phase with this weapon.
Mantle of Doom - Extremely well crafted and meticulously designed Exo-armour suits purpose made for the heaviest of fighting, these suits are the pride and joys of their builders and they often become family heirlooms. To the Squats, the doom of these suits is not for the squats, but for those who face their wearers. With his Mantle of Doom, the Squat Warlord Grivglom the Brooding battled and slew Chaos invaders, Dark Eldar raiders, enigmatic Thyrrus, barbaric Orks, hated Hrud, ancient Necrons, and the foul Tyranids. Standing with his brothers and sisters in arms, Grivglom killed the many limbed horrors to defend his home day in and day out, and in this suit he slew a powerfully mutated Trygon Prime in single combat. These suits of armor count as squat exo-armor with a 4++ invulnerable save that grants +1 toughness and strength.
Stonekin banner - Representative of the Men of Stone's defiance against the time of ending, the Stonekin banner is actually a powerful technological relic that can release a steady stream of healing nanomachines to allow warriors to fight on past grievous injuries and heal and repair their equipment with remarkable swiftness while dulling the sensation of pain. The stoneskin banner grants the Feel No Pain and It Will Not Die special rules to the user and his unit.
Reason - "Everyone listens to reason" is the motto of those who utilize these experimental rotary coilguns (peace through superior firepower was deemed too unwieldy a term). Capable of tearing through most forms of armor, these guns spit out a ceaseless stream of hypersonic spikes and never let up. First tested against Hive Fleet Kraken and ironed out in a successful Squat offensive that broke the back of the 13th black crusade's strike against the Squat worlds, the wielders of these weapons tore through land raiders, ancient suits of terminator armor, and reduced the leading Chaos Lord, Hyrskos the Fell Handed, to a fine bloody mist flecked with chunks of bone, ceramite and adamantium.

Ancestor Lord

Fluff:

Amongst the Squats, none are more honored than the Ancestors, who form the basis of Squat religion. The Living Ancestors are legendary for their age and boundless wisdom. The respect given by the younger generations of Squats is well-earned, for they have often lived for more than 500 years, which is unheard of for the average Squat. Living Ancestors bear knowledge of ancient grudges that they use to inspire their brethren in wartime.

Some Living Ancestors are so ancient that they have developed Psyker powers. While not as powerful as the Psyker of other races such as the Eldar, the Living Ancestors can still hold their own. As such, Living Ancestors often carry Rune Stones, which assist in their psychic abilities.

When war comes to the Squat Strongholds, the Living Ancestors may be called to fight alongside the Brotherhoods and the Guilds. In these times, they take the title of "Ancestor Lord" and use their ancient wisdom to turn the tide of battle against the Squats' hated enemies. Some naive commanders have made the fatal mistake of underestimating the Ancestor Lord is frail and weak due to their "advanced" age, and have paid for their mistake in blood.

Special Characters

Overlord Hreid

Fluff:

An old and powerful Squat, Overlord Hreid is an extremely influential leader of the Squats. The influence of Hreid has an incredible reach. It encompasses nearly every Squat world, but in his League he's considered as first among equals in the eyes of other Warlords and Thanes. Even the Living Ancestors see him as someone who is deemed worth to follow.

Coming from League Norgyr, he and his ancestors were the ones who strongly advocated for alliances and integration with the Imperium of Man while still being independent and continues so to this day, yet they all also were, and are to this day determined to forge the Squats as a more unified force in order to make them better survive the galaxy that is ravaged by wars. Even when compared to his ancestors, he is one to be the most active in his bloodline to unify the Squats, yet because of the conflicts (both minor and major) and differences between Leagues, not to mention looking over the welfare of the planets of his own League, this task seems to be a daunting one.

With the appearance of Tyranids, the situation became grim as Squat worlds were devoured one by one, some being of great historical importance. Hreid knows well the history of how the Great Devourer ravaged the Squats. His own grandfather and father perished in battle against the monstrosities of Behemoth's tendrils (but not before managing to slay hundreds of them and dozens of monstrous creatures) when they answered the call to arms. With the appearances of Kraken and Leviathan, the old Squat grew more determined to unite his kin and and seeing the Tyranids committing the Ultimate Grudge against Squatkind, for there exist no curse neither in the Squat language, in Gothic, or in any of the languages of xenos to describe how unforgivable it is what the swarm did.

In battle, no matter if it is on foot or inside his unique suit of exo-armour, Hreid is a force of nature. Carrying his ancestral war axe Surtr along with the ancient Plasma Blaster Foe Blaster and the Golden Ring of Wards, the Overlord of Norgyr is a monster of a fighter, but also a skilled and charismatic commander who leads with courage and honour, as well as wisdom and determination. The most famous battles he took part in were the Scouring of Forseti where along with a Great Company of Space Wolves managed to defeat the Orks that occupied the ancient Squat world, the Gangalma Incident where he and his throng aided the Mordian Iron Guard in defeating a Chaos incursion, and finally the Inarian Crusade where his Squats managed to stop a tendril of Leviathan and culminating in him slaying a Tyranid Dominatrix which is no mere feat even for a Squat.

With the darkness engulfing more and more the galaxy, the Overlord of Norgyr dispatched one of his eldest son Lyngheidr to aid the forces that engaged the 13th Black Crusade, while he himself endeavored to hunt down the Tyranids that are plaguing the areas around Squat and Imperial worlds. If there are unsettled grudges, then Heidr will make sure they are settled, for he never leaves anything unsettled.

Axe of Surtr: Heidr's unique Forge Axe that was passed from father to son for generations, this weapon is made in such a way that it greatly amplifies the physical power of the wielder. The force is more than enough to slay a Space Marine Terminator or Tau Battlesuit in one powerful blow, and if the adversary somehow survived the blow, then Surtr's flames would off them completely. The Axe of Surtr has the following profile:

Name	Range	Strength	AP	Special Rules
Axe of Surtr	-	+3	2	Melee, Unwieldy, Two-Handed, Master Crafted, Soulblaze, Flammable, Great Cleave

Great Cleave: On a roll of 6 to hit in Close Combat, the wielder causes two hits instead of one.

Foe Blaster: An ancient weapon that was gifted to Heidr's ancestor back during the Great Crusade by the Imperial Fists Legion as a token of friendship, this mighty Plasma Blaster makes short work of any and all enemies. Foe Blaster has the following profile:

Name	Range	Strength	AP	Special Rules
Foe Blaster	18"	7	2	Assault 3, Gets Hot!, Shred

The Armour of Snorri: An armour that once belonged to one of two legendary Squat heroes of Norgyr, this iridium armour is a incredible piece of craftsmanship that allows for great protection as the technology behind it allows to weaken the attacks of the enemy inflicted upon the user. How it came into the possession of Heidr's family is unknown. The Armour of Snorri is Squat Iridium Armour. Additionally any attack (ranged or melee) against Heidr has their strength reduced by 1 (thus a weapon with S5 becomes S4).
The Armour of Strullson: An armour that once belonged to one of two legendary Squat heroes of Norgyr, this exo-armour is incredibly sophisticated and offers terrific power and protection. How it came into the possession of Heidr's family is unknown. The Armour of Strullson is a set of Squat Exo Armor that grants +1 to Heidr's strength and the Feel No Pain (4+) special rule.
Golden Ring of Wards: A treasured tech relic that was created when the first Squat holds were created, what looks like a simple ring is in fact a extremely advanced piece of technology made from knowledge from the Dark Age of Technology. The ring emits something akin to a plasma field that protects the wearer from danger. And if by some strange coincidence the plasma field is breached the built in warp-manipulation mechanisms knit back any wound the wearer sustained. The Golden Ring of Wards grants the wearer the It Will Not Die USR and a 3++ Inv Save.

Ancient Gandr

"But I, being old, have only my memories; I have spread my memories under your feet; Tread softly, for you tread on my memories."

Squats are known to live much longer than the average human. Then some of these Squats tend to outlive others of their kin, thus becoming Living Ancestors who are centuries old. But among the latter group, there is one who is particularly old.

Ancient Gandr is one such Living Ancestor, and he is indeed a living piece of history. Even other Living Ancestors from the other Leagues don't remember a time where he wasn't around. Nobody knows how it is possible for a Squat like him to go above a whole millennium and more. Yet if there is anything the Squats know, then there is the fact that Gandr is someone to whom everyone from all different Leagues come for advice in the most difficult of situations. Gandr knows many secrets and served many Warlords and Thanes as a advisor. However, the grumpy Squat will not advise any Warlord or Thane unless they prove themselves before him. These vary, yet every task he gives is challenging.

Gandr's story is shrouded in myth, as after a turbulent period in the story of his home hold on planet Torq, nobody except for the Ancient knows his past. All he can tell that he was once a Heartguard, and that he had a family he lost in a tragic incident that he does not want to talk about. It is also rumored that back then he was a more optimistic fellow and that the loss of everything he held dear turned him into a walking mountain of grumblings.

When battle begins, Gandr will turn into a psychic storm. Combined with his knowledge and centuries of hard won experience, every enemy was either routed or utterly annihilated. Crackling from head to toe with warp energies, the Ancient will crush daemon engines with thought alone, grind infantry to paste and detonating enemy psykers and daemons who clearly love to underestimate him. He in fact likes to collect everything from his encounters with enemy psykers, which are usually bits or charms taken from their armours. Even Eldar Farseers that fought the Squats joined by the Living Ancestor barely escaped with their lives since they did not count that he would be this powerful. Some Farseers were not this lucky and were slain by Gandr for their hubris, while their soulstones taken by him as trophies to further insult them. Needles to say, Eldar hate him for this and will do everything to get the soulstones from him. Daemons who survive an encounter with Gandr quickly learn that the next time they go up against the Squats of Grindel they will do so as long as the Living Ancestor is not around.

Currently the Squat, though he really dislikes it, is working with the Inquisition in order to aid the Imperials in the fight against the 13th Black Crusade of the Despoiler. His wisdom on many of the enemies of the Imperium, and more importantly on Chaos, is what may turn the tide in favor of the Imperials.

Staff of The One-Eyed: An ancient force staff that was created by the Living Ancestors from unique Dark Age technology back in the days of the Great Crusade, and which the secrets of its construction was lost in the turbulent times of past. Until properly empowered, the Staff of The One-Eyed functions as a comparatively ordinary Force Staff. It is not until the weapon is empowered like a typical Force Weapons where it shows its immense power, capable of sending Ork Warbosses flying backwards in pieces and instantly slaying the largest of monsters and needing to be wielded in two hands to be controlled. It is said that this staff was created with the help of Magnus The Red when he was still a loyalist as a token of friendship, though it is a subject of debate whether or not he had a hand in this (especially among Inquisitors). The Staff of The One-Eyed is a Master-Crafted Force Staff. Gandr may channel his might into the staff, giving it power beyond that what a normal force weapon can do. The Mighty Empowerment costs 2 Warp Charges. The weapon has the following profile during the duration of the power:

Name	Range	Strength	AP	Special Rules
Staff of The One-Eyed (Mighty Empowerment)	-	x2	2	Melee, Two-Handed, Unwieldy, Master Crafted, Concussive, Strikedown, Instant Death

Void Shell: A heavily modified suit of Iridium Armour that was tweaked or overhauled through the millennia. Originally designed for void operations from simply industrial to military ones, the armour underwent modifications during times of need to the point that it stopped looking like it used to be originally. The suit was further modified to suit the needs of Gandr. The Void Shell is a suit of Iridium Armour with the Void Hardened special rule.

Void Hardened: A model equipped with void hardened armour may re-roll failed saves made against weapons of either the Template or Blast type and reduces the distance rolled for Charges, Sweeping Advances and Run moves by 1". Void Hardened armor has some additional effects when playing a Zone Mortalis game (as noted in the Zone Mortalis rules).

Trinket Idol: A large pole with the symbol of Grindel atop of it and with numerous trinkets and wards. The trinkets are often parts of enemy psyker wargear that Gandr took as trophies after slaying them, but there are also a number of Eldar soulstones that belonged to Farseers the Ancient defeated. Psykers are very vary of even approaching the mighty Squat, but in case of the Eldar he becomes a prime target for very good reasons...not that he has anything against it. Daemons on the other hand will have difficulties in fighting Gandr due to the wards the Squat is carrying on his idol. Any unit with the Psyker, Brotherhood of Psykers or Daemon special rule attempting to make a shooting attack, launch an assault or cast a psychic power on Grandr and his unit must take a leadership test before resolving the action. If the test is failed, they may not perform the action (but can choose to do a different action). Any enemy units from Codex: Craftworlds have the Hatred (Grandr) special rule.

Psychic Powers: Ancient Gandr generates powers from the Biomancy, Daemonology, Stonemind, Divination, and Pyromancy disciplines.

Master Engineer Brokk, The Mad Inventor

You see the problem, right here, all you need to do is connect the Ampage repeater to the coil escapism and, voila! We've got both a hypersonic electromagnetic thermal capacitor ballistc weapon, and a toaster. Does any anybody have butter rations, I'm hungry.

Squats are well known for their technology and wisdom when it comes to artifacts of the Dark Age of Technology. Unlike the Techpriests of Mars, Squats invent, create, and even innovate. Yet there are moments when there are lines that should not be crossed or cannot be crossed due to limitations. Brokk however aims for crossing the latter luckily. A Master Engineer of League Kapellar and peerless pioneer of new inventions, Brokk is most of the time seen both as a example of how a Squat should be, yet as well one where a Squat should NOT.

Some call him a genius. Some call him a madman. Others that he is downright random at times, and there are even those that call him all these things together. In the Imperium, the Adeptus Mechanicus would have cried heretek over the mad experimentations Brokk is doing, while even Squats think he sometimes overdoes some of those. Even then the Thanes and Warlords will tolerate him if it means that he can produce something that would benefit the hold. He never disappointed.

Brokk constructed many insane vehicles and pieces of technology. Some, after further field-testing, were put into production, but most are so unstable that only the most courageous (if not insane) Squats would go and use them at all. The Master Engineer does not see anything wrong with those and simply thinks that other Squats have no idea how to use them properly. Other Squats will point otherwise however...

When the Tyranids arrived and started to feast on Squat holds, it was Brokk who pioneered many anti-Tyranid weapons against hordes of swarming Gaunts and Rippers, as well as the largest and deadliest of monstrous creatures the xenos spawned during the later Tyrranic Wars. A survivor of one of the incident involving a stray tendril of the remnant of Hive Fleet Behemoth during a weapon test on Kyrin V where emissaries from both other Leagues and the Imperium came to observe, Brokk, back then still a disciple in the Engineering Guild, saw first-hand the feeding-spree the Tyranids where capable of. Although the planet was saved from being devoured with the help of the nearby Squat fleet and a Crusade Fleet of Black Templars, Brokk was downright horrified and enraged at the wanton destruction the Swarm left, not to mention loosing his old master and many of his peers. This also resulted in him becoming a dedicated Tyranid hunter, and probably this was one of the events that drove him to become Master Engineer. Currently the Squat is helping both Overlord Hreid in hunting down Leviathan splinters as well as aiding the Ordo Xenos in finding a way how to even more efficiently combat the threat posed by the Tyranids. Even more, he even took his private forge ship and an army of volounteers from multiple Kappelar holds to make sure the tragedy of Kyrin V would not repeat itself.

In battle the Master Engineer can either go on foot, wearing his Iridium Armour equipped with a arsenal of unique weapons and gear, or while commandeering his personal Land Raider called Gullin, a machine he himself build and loaded with unusual upgrades. No matter which way of warfare he chooses, Brokk unleashes his arsenal of bizarre weapons and support mechanisms that would make even a Magos of Mars or a Ork Big Mek feel jealous. These devices are often as dangerous to anyone who challenges the Master Engineer, as they are to Brokk himself and his allies. Then again, the Squats ignore that part of Brokk due to the fact that these contraptions always work as much as his already crazy plans.

This wargear has more mechadendrites and servos than those used by other Guild Engineers or anyone who follows the paths of either the Priesthood of Mars or even those of the Dark Mechanicus. Indeed, even Techpriests that met Brokk were actually surprised by the size and armaments the darn harness has. Brokk, thanks to the Great Harness, is capable of repairing much more efficiently and faster any damaged vehicle to the point that it comes back to being fully operational. When not repairing, Brokk becomes a one Squat support battery for his fellow warriors or turning even the toughest enemies into a bloody pulp with his Servo Arms The Grand Harness is a Servo Harness. Both of its Servo-Arms are Master-Crafted and it has a Auto-Shot Rifle in addition to its other weapons.
Draupnir System: Probably THE greatest invention that the Mad Inventor came up with, yet which is also in the experimental phase. Inspired by the ancient teachings of an ancient Terran scientist from the early 2nd millennium about mass and energy, as well to show those pesky Eldar that they are not the only ones in the galaxy that can produce their own resources, Brokk created a unique machinery called the Draupnir System. An invention that even the Adeptus Mechanicus failed to even take beyond simple theory, the Draupnir System (fully named the Draupnir Energy Generating and Mass Synthesis Assembler) is essentially a powerful quantum generator that produces energy and mass that are used for powering armaments and ammunition production. In addition, apart of producing energy and ammunition, the Draupnir System can generate a force field that envelops both Brokk and anyone near him, protecting them from incoming projectiles. There is however one fatal flaw in it. If the Draupnir System were to be damaged somehow, the risks of this would be a catastrophic explosion that would wipe out everything in a large area. The Draupnir System grants Brokk, and any unit 12" from him a 5++ Invulnerable Save. Any squad joined by Brokk re-rolls all failed To Hit rolls of 1. If Brokk is reduced to 0 wounds, then the Draupnir System goes haywire and ensues in a large explosion. Before removing Brokk as a casualty, put a Massive Blast Template over him. All models under the template suffer a single S10 AP1 hit.

Thrudrak Alemetal, Master of the Runes

Fluff:

The leader of the runesmiths of the Srry'Tok brotherhood, one of the two brotherhoods who have joined the Tau Empire as full members. The Master of Runes is an important role in every Demiurg brotherhood, leading the runesmiths in their tasks of forging and repairing all the equipment and vehicles that the Demiurg use. Thrudrak came into his position very late in his lifetime and is not expected to last another fifty years, a short time in the reckoning of the Demiurg. However as a valued member of the brotherhood many go to him for advice including the Elders that make up the leadership of the Brotherhood. Not often seen without his trusty hammer even in the most mundane tasks, he will often smash the hammer into the nearest piece of fragile architecture to make a point or silence a room.

Thrudrak holds the rank of 'O in the ranking of the Tau caste system for the Demiurg Caste and is often consulted on Ion technology by the Earth Caste although he does keep safe many of the secrets of the Technology as sole purview of the Demiurg such as the Ion Dampener and the secrets of the Runes.

Hammer of Berim: Thrudrak's hammer has been passed down for generations for the leaders of the runepriests of the Srry'Tok brotherhood. The head of the hammer has many special archeotech devices that are ill understood by the Demiurg. The runes embedded in the hammer along with the technology make it a fierce foe against the shields of any race letting it bypass them with ease. The Hammer of Berim has the following profile:

Range: -, Strength +2, AP: 3, Rules: Melee, Two-Handed, Concussive, Ignores Invulnerable Saves

Gòstang Thoth: A specially crafted gorget with runes of protection glittering brightly on the metal. The gorget was made to help protect the master of runes in his duties on the field and in the forge of the Brotherhood shops. Gòstang Thoth grants Thrudrak the ability to re-roll failed invulnerable saves.
The Keystone: A masterwork of Rune Smithing, this Adamantine and Iridium Rune is said to be the first rune ever made, every Rune Stone since being a pale imitation. The Keystone is a Rune Stone that also allows Thrudrak Alemetal to successfully Deny the Witch on a 5+, and adds 2 dice to the Deny The Witch pool during your opponents psychic phase instead of 1.

Old Boltsman Joseph

It's a grizzly thing ain't it lad, took it from one o' them ol' silver and green Necrontyr bastards. O' course he got what remained o' me left ear, but I got his bloody fool head in exchange. Makes a wonnerful story that one.

A Squat that comes from the great Bugginson family of famous brewers from the League of Thor, the early life of Joseph was actually filled with boredom to some point due to how peaceful it was for him. Not that brewing was a bad thing for the then young Joseph.

Joseph did enjoy brewing the finest brews that would make even Space Marines want to drink, but the young Squat wanted badly to join the ranks of soldiers of his home hold of Muspel out of a drive for adventure and to see the parts of the galaxy outside the home sub-sector. After a long talk with his father, the old Squat finally did agree for Joseph to join the army of Warlord Kardrak. The Squat took his old coil gun he had since childhood and moved out.

Being a Squat warrior is all but easy, yet the young Bugginson found it exhilarating during his first campaign against the Snakebites Orks of Mogondo that occupied an abandoned Squat hold there. It was all glorious for him and he hoped to share all the stories of his battles with his family...until the Squat came back to see his hold besieged.

The Mogondo Orks were a distraction, and the main WAAAGH!!! was already besieging Muspel. Warlord Kardrak ordered his warriors to assault the besieging Snakebites. When the force made planetfall, it all went from bad to worse when the skies darkened and became purplish. Chaos Daemons AND Tyranids also assaulted Muspel, which forced the Squats there into a four-way battle against Greenskins, Daemons, and Bugs alike. Each seemingly focused solely on destroying the Squats before turning on each other

The devastation was so great that Squats from other holds had to join in to aid Kardrak. In the ensuing chaos, Joseph and groups of fellow warriors separated from the main force. While in a normal situation they would have been written off as dead due to a concentration of so many enemies, but Joseph was very determined to survive this. During the Mogondo fights, he managed to master the skills needed for pathfinders and scouts when he and his fellows were sent on recon missions to collect data. He never thought that these skills would be so useful in the situation he was.

Without any support from the main warband Joseph and his lads turned to Hit and Run tactics, never staying still, living off of the few non-poisoned pieces of land they could find, and striking at the heart of their enemies forces. Targeting synapse creatures, Greater Daemons, and Ork Warbosses with brutal efficiency and fading away before their enemies could react. After ten standard Terran years, the Squats of Muspel had finally won back their home, but at a terrible price. Kardrak was dead. Joseph's family reduced to a handful of members, and to top the whole bloody mess off, the planet itself was a wreck, poisoned and exhausted, yet luckily not beyond reparation. As the only senior member of the Bugginson family, Joseph swore that he would exact vengeance for this and to rebuild his family.

Joseph took off with his remaining family members, as well as those who fought alongside him, on the Bugginson ship "The Arrow-Head" as a independent force/mercenary group, sometimes even taking in Squat refugees in order to bolster the ranks of his warband. Over the years Joseph grew in experience and his small army grew with many more volunteers from other holds that were molded to think like hunters and infiltrators by the now old Bugginson. Bugginson aided beleaguered Squat and Imperial worlds that suffered from raids and to resolve invasions the Imperial Guard had problems with. At some points in his life, Joseph even fought alongside the likes of the Tanith First-and-Only, as well as the Raven Guard and Raptors Space Marines. All three shared the same mentality as the Squat and his lads, thus none had problems with cooperation.

Currently the old Squat is actively pursuing a secret agenda. Nobody knows what it is, but the presence of Raptor Space Marines and a squad of Deathwatch Marines would suggest it is something of a enormous task...

Ungarr Doomseeker, The Eternal Slayer

Lucky in war, and nothing else.

Squat Berserkers are known for their insane and single-minded approach to combat, complete and utter disregard for personal safety and overall wanting to slay their enemies in the most spectacularly brutal way imaginable. Few individuals, like the Death Company Marines of the Blood Angels or the Khorne Berserkers of the World Eaters, can match Squat Berserkers in sheer killing efficiency. Yet among these abhuman individuals, there is one that tops them in every way imaginable.

Ungarr Doomseeker is one, if not the only one in his own category. Shrouded in mystery, being bigger (yet not that much) than your average Squat, and not liking to talk much about his past, Ungarr is often described as a unbound tempest of destruction whenever he gets into combat. All that is known about him is that he was once a Thane, though from which League he came from is unknown, nor is it known what made him to become a Leagueless warlord that travels the galaxy with his host made mostly out of Squat Berserkers.

If there is one thing to know about Ungarr is that he exists to vanquish the monstrosities that live in the shadows of the galaxy, as well as to collect the skulls of the enemies of the Squats. His combat skills are no idle boasting either, as he slew truly powerful individuals and monsters that would require a entire Leman Russ Tank squadron to put down. These same individuals and monsters also were powerful enough to single-handily butcher their way through entire platoons if given the chance. He even once got swallowed whole by a Tyranid Haruspex, only in some impossible way to survive being shredded by the beast's digestive system and tear his way through it to freedom.

Lesser enemies are simply shredded in an instant when they cross paths with Ungarr, whether are those Chaos Marines or even Tyranid Warriors. Once even an Eldar Autarch of Biel-Tan was forced to fight with alongside the Squat against Necrons, and instead of simply killing Ungarr and his lads (as it is with standard Biel-Tan procedures), the Autarch retreated with his warhost because he did not want to have his Eldar be shredded. All these times the Doomseeker showed absolutely no emotions, only deathly silence and complete focus in battle. Something that is extremely unusual for Squat Berserkers.

Various factions, both Squats and the various Imperial armies, often hire Ungarr and his Berserkers when a situation requires to be dealt with extreme prejudice. Ungarr takes his unique twin-bladed chain-axes and rushes with his lads to slay their enemies, while the cool-headed Squats in his army give them fire support.

Currently Ungarr was hired out by Grindel to aid Ancient Gandr to help combat the 13th Black Crusade.

Hearthguard

"For Hearth and Hold we stand"

Not all Squats dream of one day being a master warrior; some dream of being renowned brewers, of being celebrated engineers, of being canny pilots or ancient runesmiths, but it must be said, that when the Hearthguard walk past, all Squat respect the sheer energy and drive it must have taken them to gain their position, for the Hearthguards are the chosen warriors of Lords and Thanes. Only those whose skill in battle and loyalty to the hold is unmatched are ever considered for such a position, and even then the tests that many are put through as proof of their skill of heart are as prone to cripple, if not outright kill, those who have survived on luck alone.

Those who survive these tests unscathed are sworn into the Hearthguard immediately, as representatives of their lords will, to act as protectors of the hold and bearers of laws during, rare, peaceful times, and as a personal bodyguard to the Hold's Warlord during, much more common, times of strife.

Hearthguard can typically be further divided into two types. Quarellers focus on ranged weaponry, they are armed with the best weapons available to the hold and excel in ranged shootouts. This simple type has little notable history among it that differs from the development of warfare in the rest of the galaxy.

The Berserkers have a far more somber story. Squat berserkers, otherwise known as "Grudgebearers", are at once considered paragons of Squat culture, and a grizzly reminder on the their race's last great failure. A combination that hails back to their harsh beginnings.

Back when the Squats were just starting out as a people, they could not have picked a more desolate home-world. Life was a series of constant challenges, and it was this, they believed, that made the Squat society so tough and tight-knit. Clan might bicker with clan over basic resources that their technology could stretch out enough to make argument pointless, but outside of raised words and contained violence in such matters each Squat knew that their home itself worked hard enough to destroy them, no need to add to its efforts.

No legend is quite sure when this changed, each league naming ancient clans that may no longer even exist as the aggressors, but at one point one of these arguments over water grew to large for the elders of the aggressor side to contain their more hot-blooded youngsters who resented the other clan for stockpiling the water during a lean time. Youngsters who, in the dead of night, snuck into the opposing clans hold, and did their best to slaughter every last Squat they could lay their hands upon.

Three children survived long enough to be found by a third clan who had arrived to trade. The nursery they had been found in described by shaken warriors as "a charnel house".

Perturbed the Council of Hold Elders met, such violence was unheard of, especially in a time when holds needed to work together or risk losing everything, and it was eventually decided that the youths who had committed the deed would be cast out from their hold to become the first true clanless, branded to show their crimes, while the finding clan would take custody of the surviving children.

Years passed, and while the clanless were not heard from for this time, the custodians did not, could not, hide the truth of the matter from the lost children, the three of them growing up with hatred in their hearts, and steel in their eyes, until finally they came of age and left the custodian hold.

Only one of them ever returned, carrying with him five branded heads that had been torn from their necks seemingly barehanded.

The first Grudgebearer had been born, avenged his family, and died, but so had the first golden age of the Squats, their cultrue never healing from cycle of revenge started that day.

Exo-Warriors

"Let's see you punch your way through us"

The Squats, like many races; make use of power armor extensively. Indeed the Squats had maintained their mastery of making armor that moves with and supports rather than weigh down the user to a far greater extent than the Imperium, with the first segments of the Imperium of Man to encounter the Squats finding that even their flak armor equivalents had systems in place to burden the Squats as little as possible; a necessity on heavy gravity worlds where even minor increases in mass can translate into greatly increased burdens of weight. And facing the prospect of exhaustion was something that was simply not acceptable in the Squat's many wars with the Orks, Hrud, and other foes.

Perhaps their most interesting innovation was the mass production of armor that could rival tactical dreadnought suits. Like Tactical Dreadnought Armor, the Squat Exo-suits were made to handle extremely dangerous conditions, such as the heavy radiation of plasma generators, exploring space hulks or unknown caverns alongside Squat robots, and other jobs that would involve being awash with heat, radiation, or enemy fire. And of course, war would come to the men of stone time and time again. In a time remembered by the Squats as the Years of Slaughter (corresponding to the age of strife), the Squats watched as Eldar and Humans both crumbled into withered shells of their former selves and their worlds in the galactic core under constant siege.

So the squats refined their craft and more and more war-ready models of exo-suits would be built. An island of stability in a galaxy gone mad, the lure of rich looting would draw their hated foes in ever greater numbers. In time, the Emperor would reveal himself and after some brief conflict that suitably impressed the Emperor and Adeptus Mechanicus, a treaty of friendship would be forged. With one of the things traded being some of the mechanisms for Squat Exo-Armor, so impressed was the Imperium by the power suited warriors who grinded the Legiones Astartes and Imperial Army to a halt. When the Horus Heresy came and the great treachery of the league of Emberg; which had fallen to the worship of the Chaos God Hashut, Exo-warrior fought Exo-warrior in great numbers, with the pure squats having to fight through legions of Emberg slaves and horrific daemons and daemon engines and seeing the degrees to which Hashut had twisted their kin. Nightmarish modifications to their exo-armor was common among the Emberg and their command of dark sorcery helped combat their inferior numbers.

Following the exile of the Emberg and the end of the Horus Heresy, the Exo-warriors would continue to see conflict throughout the galaxy, bearing a great portion of the brunt in the push against the great Ork Warlord known only as the Beast as he unleashed his galaxy crushing Waaagh! Tales are still told of times where Exo-warriors fought through unending hordes of Greenskins or the battle of the caverns of Gorodruk where a massive number of Exo-Warriors clashed with similarly massive numbers of Meganobz.

Chaos Squat Bull Centaurs

WE SMASH PUNY MARINES!!! - Gorgoloth. Bull Centaur Champion while fighting Grey Knights during the Manakai Massacre

Vile and abominable brutes, Bull Centaurs are the genetic creations of Emberg. Former Chaos Squats that either volunteered or were forced into being transformed into giant, massive centaur-like monsters.

Back during the later stages of The Great Crusade and the early days of the Horus Heresy, the Squats that joined the side of Warmaster Horus, and who would found the hated League of Emberg in the future, were given new capabilities when they came into contact with the presence of Chaos. Yet unlike certain Traitor Legions who chose one of the four main Chaos Gods, the League of Emberg chose a minor Chaos entity calling itself Hashut. With its help, the first Chaos Squats unlocked new paths in science and technology. Among this was using warp energies to alter some of their hardened warriors via controlled mutations and genetic modifications. These resulted in the first Bull Centaurs to come into being.

Bull Centaurs are so big and massive that they even tower over Ogryns (though being equally mentally challenged) and matched by Space Marine Centurions. Their toughness even outmatches that of an Ogryn their great constitution allows them to ignore small and medium firearms. The mass of a Bull Centaur is also a great factor in how terrifying the monstrosity is. Combined with the enormous strength, a charge from one will trample everyone smaller than the brute and smash through any obstruction or obstacle.

Luckily they are not so wide-spread since the procedures that turn a Chaos Squat into a Bull Centaur is time-consuming and not every one who takes part in the transformation process survives. Nevertheless, one who fights the Squats of League Emberg must be prepared that he and his soldiers will meet groups of these monsters on the battlefield, thus it is required to bring the heaviest imaginable weapons to bear against the Bull Centaurs if anyone does not want to see their forces trampled to paste.

Sapper Team

"Prep work's done, struts are cut, charges are in place. Let's see 'em try to bring those war-engines over this without the entire thing collapsing."

Most Imperial's that have contact with any Squat Warhost would believe that the Squat's primary style of warfare is above ground, how could such gargantuan machines exist in the Subterranean holds that the Squats claim as their homes.

These imperial citizens are correct in their assumptions, so long as the Squat's are fighting anything other than their own species.

The petty inter-clan conflicts and grudges that largely define Squat politics go back for millennia, even before the Great Crusade, often under the noses of any imperial citizens who will not notice any sort of bloodshed or "open" warfare, beyond the occasional earthquake or unexplained subsistence.

This is due to the fact that most of these petty complaints are contained underneath the surface of the planet, deep within the sprawling mess of caverns and tunnels that make up Squat holds. The conflicting sides collapsing tunnels and engineering "natural" disasters that create a body count equal to any open warfare.

Squat sappers are the masters of this type of combat, capable of bringing down structures in such a way that requires minimum resources for maximum destruction. No fortification is safe from them, and any besieged enemy quickly learns to either spot the profile of a sappers distinctly heavy Flak armour and blast gear, or they find their walls crumbling around them as these masters of demolition get to work.

Follow-Up Attack: Instead of actually carrying troops on board, accompanying troops follow within the Rumbler Borer’s wake. Rather than roll for reserves normally, the assault squad attached to the Borer arrives from reserve automatically the turn after the Rumbler Borer breaches the surface, and may be placed in relation to the area of the ‘Deep Strike’ template just as if they had disembarked from a vehicle. If they cannot be placed (if, for example, there is no room to place them), they count as suffering a Deep Strike Mishap, and may only attempt to enter the table in the area of the Drill’s ‘Deep Strike’ template on future turns.

Wargear: Melta-Cutter Drill: When conducting Ram attacks against other vehicles, buildings or fortifications, Ram attacks caused by the Borer are treated as Strength 8, AP 1 and have the Armourbane rule, regardless of how far it has moved or other factors. In addition, the Borer has a 4+ invulnerable save against any damage it may suffer while making a Ram attack. Enemy units Tank Shocked by the Borer suffer D3 Strength 8 AP 2 hits (inflicted on the closest enemy models in the unit to the Borer) in addition to the usual effect of the Tank Shock attack.

Ironhammer Tank

READY TO RUUUMBLEEE!!

Powerful, adaptable and reliable. This is what Squats say about the Ironhammer Tanks.

The main armored unit of many holds, Ironhammer Tanks are to other vehicles in a hold motorpool the same way the venerable Leman Russ Battle Tank is to the lighter machines of a Imperial Guard Regiment.

Originally created to fight Ork Waaagh!!!s in the early days of the holds, these compact and efficient machines over time got re-purposed for larger variety of tasks. From defense to offense, the tanks of the Squats are fit for even the most grueling challenges.

Armed with the standard rotary shot cannon, it is very reliable against most enemies, the Ironhammers can replace it with many of the more powerful weapons in the arsenal of a hold to take on practically everything, up to including Titans.
