Squat Fortress! Prep da melta cannons an let da swarm come, we'll be ready fur dem!
Stop likening squats to real dwarves. If they had been dwarfy enough, they would have survived and would now be sitting as supreme rulers of the damn galaxy. For Armok's sake, even the bloody elves outlived them.

Disgraceful.

Actually, the squats are effectively hobbits, whilest the dwarves of 40k got eaten by godzilla.

Um...yer thinking of the Ratlings. The only reason the bugs killed the Squats was due to GDubya realizing the sales weren't cutting it. And even then they still are technically about in the Imperium, albeit mainly as techies-for-hire rather than having any worlds of their own. Additionally, there are the Demiurg, whom gave the Tau Ion Cannon technology.

Great idea too.  The Ultimate Showdown Supermod!
So... will Mister Rodgers with a machete be the last non-kobold standing?

Funny thing about that, Lemon Demon (the guy who did Ultimate Showdown) didn't do the research. He has Mr. Roger's as the unlikely winner and sole survivor of The Ultimate Showdown (of Ultimate Destiny  :P).

Turns out, before he started his children's show Mr. Rogers was a U.S. Navy Seal who fought in Vietnam with over 25 confirmed kills to his name. He was trained in small arms and hand to hand combat. The reason he wore the long-sleeved sweater on his show was to hide all the tattoos on his forearms and biceps.

After the war he vowed to never harm another human being, became an ordained Presbyterian minister and dedicated himself to trying to help lead children in the right direction in life.

Funny old world, ain't it?

I was going to call out the bullshit, but it looks like the work has been done for me.

Don't worry. I went through 14 years thinking a duck's quack doesn't echo.

Tsk, I get them a bit confused.

Regardless, being eaten by a race of godzillas is about the dwarfiest way to go, barring the whole planet being flooded by its own magma.

Heeey...

Actually I think the official Games Workshop view on Squats nowadays is 'Squats? What are those? Stop talking crazy talk!'

I have a question that probably will have already been answered earlier in this Future of the Fortress or in previous posts, but i dont have time to read all the posts and i searched and found nothing, so here it is anyways:

Will we be able to smelt creatures in the smelter (or any other workshop) in this release? And I know its already possible, but we get vermin-AI creatures, I'm asking if fully-functional creatures would be smeltable.
