I like this idea! I'm glad tobe a part of this plan! ^_-

Seriously, that is a very good idea... while it may annoy GW (who is
trying to seperate Squats from the Imperium, it seems, at least in terms
of how people think of the 40K units) it works *very* well with the Epic
background. (Which I, being somewhat prejudiced, have always considered
to be a wonderful starting place for getting the Squats back into
40K....)
