But if so, the joke might yet be on the joker. Look at how it's being taken even at a site like BoLS. Surprisingly well, with real interest and a sense of the time having come.<br /><br />@ ArmChairGeneral - A vote for the zoat floats my boat.<br /><br />@ Gyro - Good collection of snippets. I doubt I'd start over, but I've had the itch to do something for a while.

For me, I'll take Squats in any form, but whatever. I had a huge Tau army, now sold off, and if Demiurg do make a come-back with them, yeah I'll start over. It goes to show it would just make business sense on GW's part...and not be another Eldar/Chaos/Marine variation.<br /><br />http://miksminis.blogspot.com/2008/03/long-live-space-dwarves.htmlMIKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349008639954236034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487413006559113471.post-33403608122804231312011-03-16T13:59:09.107+00:002011-03-16T13:59:09.107+00:00bring back the zoat!bring back the zoat!Game Master Rob Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198920658123610173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487413006559113471.post-78171940749283791532011-03-16T13:17:10.748+00:002011-03-16T13:17:10.748+00:00perhaps simply a warm up for a cruel GW April Fool...perhaps simply a warm up for a cruel GW April Fools joke.Dave Garbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557481319925772152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487413006559113471.post-53761169019892329392011-03-16T12:56:02.342+00:002011-03-16T12:56:02.342+00:00@ kelvingreen - It would be odd if they did, that&...@ kelvingreen - It would be odd if they did, that's for sure. I think they'd look pretty silly though, and maybe bring more frustration out, with all the wasted years and alienation only felt more keenly. It also seems reasonable to expect the Demiurg concept would be involved in some way.<br /><br />@ Bix - Not bad. It's quite possible I misunderstood you, and the point was the return in general feels right, which of course it does in the context. Your thinking on blogs making the difference is a powerful insight, and a very important one. That 'Squat clock', which supposedly gets reset every time someone mentions them, works in reverse now I'd say. The more we mention a thing, the sooner it'll be here.<br /><br />@ The Angry Lurker - As a former owner, for a long time I wanted them back as they were. Now I realise they're always there if any one of us wants to recreate them in that form. We'll never lose anything in that respect, as long as we remember. Now I want something new, something reflecting the growing we've all done in the meantime. But none of that BS..!Porkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604351052444947490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487413006559113471.post-17993738899888746662011-03-16T11:44:02.584+00:002011-03-16T11:44:02.584+00:00Read and commented yesterday on Bix's post and...Read and commented yesterday on Bix's post and like everybody else have heard these rumours before and I wandered around a few blogs for more conformation but the axe and intoxication details did piss me off and I still remain sceptic, from a former owner of squats, no bullshit will be tolerated when and if they re-release them with the Tau or ally to the Tau.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487413006559113471.post-43095943945847320332011-03-16T11:31:11.891+00:002011-03-16T11:31:11.891+00:00No, Porky is absolutely correct on this point; I c...No, Porky is absolutely correct on this point; I completely missed the Axe & Intoxication details when I skim read the rumours(I tend to zone out on stats). My bad :(<br /><br />Whilst I do think the Squats will be back in new form, I don't believe for one instant that they will return in the comedy guise they once had. It's the very reason they got canned by GW in the first place.Bixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830846814651524209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487413006559113471.post-12504717327276811762011-03-16T11:22:12.875+00:002011-03-16T11:22:12.875+00:00Why would they go back?

It would be uncharacteristic, but not impossible.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
