I think you may have hit a nail there. The big problem with the squats is a
LACK OF FLUFF. You've got 6 big Ork clans, half a dozen eldar craftworlds,
many many marine chapters, but NOTHING specific for the lawn ornaments.

What the Squats need more than anything else is someone who can to sit down
and draft up some clans with defining characteristics and colours and
tendancies and so on. Nids don't need this, cos they're an amorphous mass by
definition, and that's part of their charm, but I think the Squats suffer
badly from this.

Hmm. Maybe:

Clan 1 lost most of their tech. They get access to Slayers and Shortbeards,
but hasn't got many/any engineering guilds. Loadsa assault troops. No/very
limited vehicles of all types.
Clan 2 live in cities around a high gravity gas giant. Think Bespin. Many
fliers, lotsa infantry. Nothing else.
Clan 3. Toxic planet. Tunnellers, Light Artillery, Infantry. Not a lot else.
Clan 4 ultra high tech. No berserkers. very few other infy.
