Hi!
The squats are a small and hard hitting army. The specialize in very heavy artillery and large superheavy vehicles like leviathans.
They have heavy support troops that outmatch other armies heavy weapons by sheer fire power. They can absorb lots of causualties before breaking becuase they are stubborn and they REALLY hate orks.
They're an army with a unique feel.

Yes Squats are generally very well armed with lots of Heavy Weapons and Heavy AFVs. However, a bit slow because of it. That being said they have a fast and powerful Cavalry contingent with Bikers, Trikes and Gyrocopters. As Primarch said ... a unique and interesting army to play. I have had many successes with them and we still use the SM1 Flank Marcher Rules. An excellent "Flying Column" concept to make quick deep strikes into enemy flanks and rear. Classic "Hammer & Anvil" tactics ... and good fun !

Erm, has anybody......
Oh I can't bring myself to say it.....
Has anybody actually been daft enough to create , an actual SQUAT armylist for E:A yet? |
Yes: I have. ? ?To elaborate a little: I actually didn't design the armylist, I just ported the Net Epic armylist to E:A ?a while ago. The only thing I've done is the porting and some special rules. I just received some comments a few days ago and have updated the list. |
Where might I look at the list?

| Quote (Ork Dreadnought @ 21 2004 Feb.,12:21) | Erm, you and Mojarn Piett I think.
How do the short-ones play in epic BTW? |
Me?  When? Have I been acting like I was offended? If so, please tell me where. I certainly don't remember being offended by you.
And Hergrmir & Primarch, I did port the Net Epic armylist to E:A a while ago (as I said in my previous post) and have actually received some good comments last week!! If somebody wants the E:A list for playtesting send me PM with your email address and I'll mail it to you, if you don't mind word format that is.

I'm shivering in anticipation. Getting a whole PILE of Epic Squats shipped to me. About 12 Gyros all told, enough for 3 small land trains, Praetorians, an Overlord...
I'm going to stop now before I ruin my keyboard because of all this anticipatory drooling.
Vengeance never dies!

Hi!
Kudos! It gets harder and harder to get a premium squat lot nowadays.
Enjoy!

Okay, I have 2 FW Warhounds with the Infernus weapons fit. Now, if I use the rules for this weapons configuration instead of the standard loadout, and I use 2 Warhounds in my army, do they fire their Infernus cannon as a single barrage at 6BP, or do they fire individually at 3BP each?
my 2cents,

It depends on whether you bought them as a single formation or as 2 separate. If they are a single formation, you add them together. If you bought them as separate formations, they would each fire a barrage.

I'd never really given thought to putting both warhounds in the same formation ever since the version where they had to be bought seperately. But now I notice it takes advantage of the barrage table and their void sheilds. Cool.

Well, I never like to field them apart from each other, those FW Warhounds do get lonely......

a lonely titan? 
You certainly don't want to make one of those angry. It's when they feel threatened that they lash out you know.
