SM chapters has been there all the time. As has most IG, ork and chaos
units. I agree that one could make new units for the squats, as we have in
the past. Hellfury, Gyrokoper Varians, assault tanks and Grudgekeeper
artillery, to name a few. However, I strongly oppose units that are out ov
the Natural order for the squats. Namly cheap infantry (Short beards) and
close assault infantry (Slayers). These are units that eliminates known
weaknesses in the squat army. I know these units will only be optional, but
ar things often are once they are there it's hard to deny a player the usage
of them. Especially because one might have been using other optional units
in the past.
Trygve made an interesting comment last week. If the short squats should
have Shortbeards/Slayers why shouldn't Chaos have some long range heavy
infantry units. The IG could sure use som nifty assault troops them selves,
how about some drugcrazed Ogryns with +8 in caf and exoskeleton armour
giving them a fixed save of 4+. How about a Space Marine Preatorian, Black
orks Clans, Eldar aspect warrior companies the list could go on and on.
Poin is: IF IT AINT BROKE DON'T TRY TO FIX IT.
Just my 2 kroner.

We are not trying improve the Squat armiy in terms of intoducing better and
cheesier units, only to give them some more choices to choose from. The
squat army is the same every time you field it, its variation we are trying
to achieve here.
Every player that owns a Squat army has put a lot of money in it but
recieved no support from GW beyond the first release. Sm has a lot of
chapters to choose from, orks also have a lot to choose from, only surpassed
by IG and Chaos has recieved two new armylists.
I think its highly on time that some new choices are added to the little
guys, so any constructive suggestion here are very welcome!
