This week, I have been planning the unit types that will feature in my grand work, Codex: Squat Stronghold. Some of the units are traditionally associated with the Squats, and existed all the way back in the original first and second edition lists. Some units, especially the heavy vehicles, hark back to the days of the wonderful Epic Squats. Other units I've just made up cos I like the sound of the names, and the codex needs a good spread of unit types to give any potential army a proper balance.
So without further ado, here are the unit names that I will be fleshing out into proper army list entries:
HQ CHOICES
WARLORD
THANE LORDS - advisors & specialists
ANCESTOR LORD
ENGINEER GUILDMASTER
UNIQUE CHARACTER – KING XXXXXX
UNIQUE CHAR. – GUILDMASTER XXXXXXXX - will make Guild Bikers into Troops choices
UNIQUE CHAR. – XXXXXX (TYRANT-SLAYER ) - possibly make Slayers into Troops choices
ELITE CHOICES
GUILD ENGINEER
HEARTHGUARD
WYVERN GUARD (EXO-ARMOUR)

Over time, I will be detailing each of these units. First I will be writing a brief synopsis for what the unit should do, it's motivations, and it's abilities and hindrances. Then I will draw up stat-lines, weapons profiles, wargear options and points values. Phew! It'll be a long and hard task, but one I'm really relishing. I can't wait to get stuck in!
Which units do you think ought to feature in Codex: Squat Stronghold?
