In reply to you missive,
I have a rulebook which has them as part of the 40K universe (Rogue Trader)
and they cannot wipe out a race because they don't have anyone at the studio
to champion it. If things go to plan, they will be meeting squats/dwarves
in my Inquisitor campaign eventually.
In otherwords, GW can go take a long walk off a short pier. They say
themselves that the game is ours. So lets take them at their word.
