I LOVE playing the Squats as they are my toughest army! I have only
lost once with them on a day when the dice gods were not with me.

The Squats have two main advantages, artillery and toughness. Take
as much artillery as you can, especially a Goliath Mega Cannon
Company and blast the hell out of everything. Not only do they have
massive amounts of artillery, but they do serious damage. Second,
they are tough as it takes the loss of about 75% of the models to
break a company.

Tactics - Use artillery as much as you can. Use the bike company
detachments to grab objectives. Park the gyros behind some cover and
use them as aerial support with pop up attacks. And get some
Thunderers parked high in a building - they rock with range and
damage modifiers.

Good luck - let us know how it goes.
