Since these are considered the Dwarfs of 40k:
is it therefore correct to assume that these are the Chaos Dwarfs of 40k?:
I would of thought so. If Squat is basically the 40k term for dwarf then that means that chaos squats are just chaos dwarfs.
tjub:
Squats are not dwarfs, they are squats.
Thommy H:
There were Chaos Squats, yes. Since Squats are just Dwarfs…IN SPACE!, then Chaos Squats are essentially Chaos Dwarfs…IN SPACE! too.
Of course, these models were contemporary with the 3rd Edition Chaos Dwarf Renegades, not the 4th/5th Edition Big Hats, so don’t look for any secret Hashut references or anything in the Chaos Squat range.
cornixt:
Squats were also called Space Dwarfs (I think that was their original name). How could you take them seriously with either name?!
They had some cool models though.

The guy on the right, with a little converting, would be a cool Astrogoth for 3rd Ed army. Ebay it is…
Pyro Stick:
Ive already tried to find it on ebay but there are no chaos squats on at the moment.

Thommy H:
The thing with Squats is that they are of the human genome just mutated over millennia on high gravity worlds near the galactic core.Uh...yes, I know. I was playing 40K before Squats got Squatted. But, clearly, the whole concept is to recreate the tropes associated with fantasy Dwarfs in a sci-fi setting. Just as Eldar are Elves...IN SPACE! and Orks are Orcs...IN SPACE! so too are Squats Dwarfs...IN SPACE! It's one of the reasons they were written out of the setting: they were too obviously recycled wholesale from Warhammer.
tjub:
@Pyro Stick: I had 3 of them which I sold a few months ago, too bad you didnt said it before.
@Thommy H: Hehe, well to me atleast Squats are more than Dwarfs in space. But I see your point… Im just a squat lover. 
Ghrask Dragh:
I have seen they go for a pretty penny, lets hope there are some on there around payday 
I have a set of the Pirate Scrunts and the psychic scrunts too, not long before Bob went out of buisness, thank god he is back

I actually won an eBay auction for a Chaos Squat Exo-armour model the other day. I believe it is the one on the left in the pictures above.
clam:
weah! Bob has always been one of my favorite Dwarf Sculptors in the miniature world - I love his dwarfs, Squats and Scrunts - and the psychic’s with beam projector is just awesome.
Hope he will do some Chaos Dwarfs again - one day. Already got those he did for Metal Magic - and I’m out looking for those hed did for Essex.
I have been looking for Chaos Squats for quite some time now - but not with much luck. So good hunting for those of you who are just about to start See you out there, I guess.
Henroth:
That's horns... Actually that's Squats to be followers of Hashut, or only to be Squats of Chaos ?

If you can change the arms, definetly looks like a 1+ save to me for a lord
Pyro Stick:
@pyroI think i found the auction you won. It went for quite a lot! I cant believe the price of them, but i guess there was only the two chaos squats so they are probably as rare as the mm90 mage.

So good hunting for those of you who are just about to start :) See you out there, I guess.I think i remember trying to bid on a few a few years ago but i lost interest when they kept going so high and i forgot about them. I only remembered them again when i was looking through solegends at the squat tech priest (which i just got of ebay for £7!!) and i saw them beside the squats in exo armour. I can afford them now but there are none on ebay. Hopefully bartertown will be good to me.

Gaixo:
I have those guys. It’s too bad they didn’t produce enough for a unit. Luckkily, if you can find some extra arms (which almost certainly means paying exorbitant prices for models you only intend to use a bit of), they’re actually not so “evil” that they wouldn’t fit in with the regular exo-armour squats.
I don’t see how squats are any more derivative than space orks, ogryns, ratlings, necrons or eldar. I’ve never bought that argument for their “destruction.”
two_heads_talking:
The number one reason GW got rid of squats was…
They were just short guardsmen. And when GW decided to redo 3rd edition 40k, they did away with redundant armies. Of course at the same time, the brought out the Dark eldar who are just more evil Eldar. The reason?..
Because 4 or 5 dark eldar armies showed up in tournaments and were painted so nicely that the developers got a great idea. Scrap teh squats which don’t sell well and bring in dark eldar, because ever eldar player will want to give them a go.
voila, at the end of the day, both armies never sold well and now you can’t find either of them in a GW store. Somtimes you can find themin the bargin bin in an FLGS near you.
They easily could have incorporated some of the squats into a guard army, like the exo dudes and the bike riders, but ultimately their sales were so terrible that Gw say, axe em… and they were axed.
