i forgot about zoats :)

i think squats were removed because they didn't hold their own as a faction and/or they weren't very popular - they had a fan base but not on the same level as the other factions - as well as trying to separate 40k from fantasy.

personally i kinda liked squats as a race but i didn't really miss them when they were removed as a faction by getting chomped, because it was the 40k story progressing - only a little bit but still somewhat of a progression. but if they have been removed from the lore altogether then that's just bogus bs! - bs is becoming synonymous with gw.

this isn't strictly for this thread, and it's mentioned elsewhere, but gw have to advance the story at some point. it may still be making them money to preserve the status quo but people will eventually get fed up with it and will lose interest in the franchise (many already have). and as much as i still love the universe i got fed up with the status quo about 15 years ago.
