I would say your info is pretty spot on here, which is too bad, I wouldn't mind 'dwarves in space' too terribly much! <br /><br />Space Skaven (Hrud?) would be kind of cool, something new besides another Marine chapter would be refreshing. The Space Lizard Centaur idea is a good one, like the old Zoats and Slann, but then you've just got 'lizardmen in space'. <br /><br />Coming up with new and original ideas is hard, but they interjected something fun into 40k out of nowhere with the Tau, hopefully they'll repeat that success with the mystery race.<br /><br />Also, as an aside gripe, GW's "annoyed" with the fanaticism of a particular player base? Talk about how *not* to run a company. If people are Squat-crazy, give them what they want. How much new revenue are you going to make by sticking a product out there that you *know* is going to sell off the shelves! Look at the success the reissue of Space Hulk was, now imagine reissuing stunties!MIKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349008639954236034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-86842680519694133682009-09-29T17:48:07.246-04:002009-09-29T17:48:07.246-04:00i originally posted this on the hogs of war site b...i originally posted this on the hogs of war site but here goes - 'I'd stick with the White Dwarf in power armour. We had a long conversation with our local manager and apparently the story is squats are gone, for good, never to be unearthed. It has been stressed that the demiurge are not squats nor will be released as a race. But something will....allegedly there is something new in the pipeline. What and when who knows. We have nids in Jan, at some point the new dark eldar codex is due with a completely new range of models. Supposedly the whole line is getting revamped. But no ideas on whats coming besides that. Rats in Space keeps getting suggested by us Skaven supporters but apparently not.'<br /><br />The reason we were given by the man in the know was that Games Workshop has a downer on the fanaticism of the squat players - way to go marketing department. Demiurge were a no no because no matter what they did they would become the next squats. So we're back to a new race....<br /><br />Personally I'd like to see something new and not just a fantasy cross over - eldar/dark eldar are just elves in space, dwarves=squats, necrons=undead, orcs well orcs i suppose. The Tau were good as they were a new concept and although a blatant alien copy the nids were new too. So what next - ogres? there is nothing of that ilk yet - large, heavy, powerful single models unles syou count nid warriors. Maybe space centaurs or Space Lizards. However that little voice inside is still shouting for Rats in SpaceCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551768302378943295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-40331866386563444442009-09-29T17:35:29.085-04:002009-09-29T17:35:29.085-04:00@Chris: Rumor is the little greenskin is the '...@Chris: Rumor is the little greenskin is the 'Black Gobbo' and that these two magazine icons are just dressed up in Halloween outfits. If you look at the brow ridge of the Dwarf though, it is very Squat-like...<br /><br />Who knows?

Disappointing if it's a Demiurg, but not if it's a Squat...<br /><br />I would have liked to have seen an army of Demiurg but none the less, this is pretty cool - I like the little "grey alien" suit the gretchin appears to have been wearing :)Deserterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05632775792103986037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-29881737165427567762009-09-28T16:50:41.065-04:002009-09-28T16:50:41.065-04:00I think the 'space Skaven' are also known ...I think the 'space Skaven' are also known as the Hrud.
