Here's an interesting little update... Apparently, if you sign up for a White Dwarf subscription, you receive this rather interesting mini: Now this looks nothing like a Demiurg, who are the new space-dwarf race in 40K fluff. No, this looks like a good old-fashioned Squat Engineer! This might just be a little joke by GW, or perhaps it's a sneak-peak of things to come? What do you think?

I think they're just ***cking with us... Though the mini is really cool! Could gladly use one as a techpriest.

Seen as the goblin there is wearing a 'Grey' outfit I'd say this is just a comedy miniature for fun. They might pass if off as a 'Ratling Engineer' or something...

I love it!
The old squats look like Hell's Angels. This is more fusion with the new dwarf style. Love the helmet and the gretchin cross-dressing alien.
Was this on the UK website?

Yes it's on the uk website, likely to be just limited for subscribtion only, unfortunatly I can't see GW bringing Squats back as an army, but possibly they might release rules for a special "White Squat" figure as they did with the "White Dwarf" issue 200 I think it was?
And yes, I want one!

You know what happens when you talk about the Squats... This is what happens.

I agree with most of the people here, he would make a fine techpriest.

Could be they are just clearing out their old stock of mini's Well seeing as the old squat minis looked like this, I doubt it...: Engineers Commander & Retinue Exo Armour (if I remember correctly, these guys were tougher than Terminators!) Mole Mortars (These had huge pie-plates) Squat bikes/trikes Ahh... Those were the days!
