Isn't there a Squat faction now? When do they become playable and headline a game?
They were introduced in 9th edition (its now 10th) and they ŵere pretty broken despite having very little model variety, 10th nerfed them into the ground and there are still no major new units or muh lore afaik.

it's gonna be that way for a while i suspect untill SOMETHING happens with them theres no incentive.

and due to how GW works untill SOMETHING happens the odds of getting a new model lore or 3rd thing (aka something happening) is rock bottom.

The leagues of votannnnNnnn, which are so lackluster and bland that any player I've encountered IRL just quotes Rock & Stone.

You'd think it would be easy to write space dwarves, I mean dwarves themselves are so rich and full of charisma, so nuanced, in contrast to the fucking boring space marines of the imperium or the stoic and aloof elves, but this is GW we're talking about. They have accountants, not writers, coming up with fluff.

Apparently the original Squats were discontinued because GW couldn't think of anything to do with them beyond making them space bikers. I'm not sure why green football hooligans in space was considered interesting enough, but dwarf bikers in space wasn't, but as you said, this is GW we're talking about.

GW probably crunched numbers and shat out the army to finally fill in the dorf niche after video games and memes made them seemingly profitable. One of the most famous fantasy dorf characterizations besides LotR or WoW dorfs is probably Warhammer dorfs too. So they just let the already present memetic culture make shit up while they see how they can pander to people who dont actually consoom their models

Wouldn't that just be Siren

:BijouBijou:

Isn't Americana fairly important to Silent Hill especially since Silent Hill specifically is an American city based off of the works of King and Twin Peaks with a hell of a lot of Jacobs Ladder in

:BijouBijou:

How is Silent Hill 1, 2 or 3 really all that Japanese outside of the developer.

Silent Hill f really feels like Silent Hill 4 all over again: a game made to not be Silent Hill but then forced to by the publisher.

This is not Team Silent, however, and the time has long since passed. Whether it'll be good or not, I have no idea, but it won't be Silent Hill.
