As a Scot, this was all deeply inoffensive to me. Free Squatland and all the glorious Squattish people. There's nothing quite like some quality Baggis.
I'm convinced that canon-wise, the Squats were still a part of the Imperium for a very long time, but the Mechanicus have been diligent in deleting/altering records of them b/c the Squats were the only other group within the Imperium that could reliably build, fix, and occasionally innovate on technology and therefor they were hereteks.
I mean yeah, that, the fact that the squats are a relatively minor abhuman race and the fact that there are some very anti-abhuman factions within the more religious parts of the imperium. But yeah, space dwarves cool.
@@VindicareAssassinTTS I saw a thing, which i think is 100% lore friendly, where basically its less that they were all eaten by 'nids, but 'nids invaded squat space and nobody from the Administratum thought to actually check what happened and assumed they were wiped out.
God, I feel like a Techpriest searching for fragments of lost STC and archeotech when I'm looking for good WH40k fan content. Praise the Omnissiah for this upload.
It's sad to think this may be the last we'll see of the series, but it brings a smile to my face all the same. A welcome surprise, and a strangely fitting send off for a truly wonderful series. Here's hoping one day a triumphant return will make us laugh even harder.

I just went back to halo, not best choice but then again I am just a lore guy. Can't wait for all the BattleTech fan animations to come out, shit going to be amazing.
It's oddly fitting that TTS should end with the Squats. GW did both of them dirty. Hopefully they'll return someday. EDIT: Well I'll be damned. One down, one to go.
Honestly I’d believe that the Imperium would declare them all dead and forget about them simply for being abhuman. Just strike them from Imperial Records. Really their entire culture spits in the face of the Imperium. They were inventors and tinkerers. That would piss off the Mechanicus, they are Abhuman which many parts of the Imperium doesn’t like and they did fine and dandy on their own. Even the Orks made a peace deal with them because they weren’t fun to fight and Eldar thought them more trouble than their worth. The Squats owned everyone and if they were disowned by the Imperium and left to hopefully die out or fade into obscurity then The Squats would make their own Empire which probably functions a lot better than most of the Empires known because they actually have their shit together.
Aye.. sadly, TTS now joined Malal, the Squats, the Beast, Goge Vandire, Sindri Myr, Herman Von Strabb, the Megarachnids, the Old Ones, the Techno-barbarians, Old One-Eye, and SLY MARBO...
@@emilianomerendino3311 Basically the squats hold grudge very long. So long that they will advance their weaponry technologies just to kill the race they hold grudge again.

I love how this has turned out to be remarkably accurate to the lore of the Leagues of Votann. Hate chaos, piss on the imperium. Some imperial still deny they exist etc. All aboard the secession train, indeed.
And so with the introduction of 3D printers caught by the eyes of Ex - Games workshop customers, the Squats make a ghastly return to bring us all Baggers
@Anonymous User actually is both is a type of grass that they use or their drink 🍹 technology and trains yes I am serious and as hamburgers or just normal vegan food so not only squats are vegans but dwarfs space vegans who also use plant drugs as energy for their technology, but sadly because they were tô cartoony for 40k because of vegan food technology they were put in rectconia with poor malal
I feel like being under squat rule wouldn’t be that bad compared to literally everyone else. I mean the only thing you have to worry about is not getting beaten to death via hammers or run over by quote on quote “TRREEEEENS” anyway we probably(98% chance) get better living conditions and less stupid nobles.
From what I understand they used to inhabit a bunch of high-gravity mineral-rich worlds near the galactic core collectively called the Homeworlds which they heavily fortified and defended with tech at least on Imperial level and sometimes a bit better. Combine that with their distinct lack of dumb tech restrictions because Machine God and similarly distinct lack dumb Emperor worship and it seems like a pretty decent faction to exist in. Granted they still practice hereditary monarchy and have an aristocratic class, but hey they survived the Age of Strife on their own so we can't expect them to be completely based.
@@ancientscion2381 Pretty much yeah. Generally lots of subterranean construction too due to the nature of the worlds as mining colonies prior to the Age of Strife and a tendency for their surfaces to be harsh, with thin atmospheres and intense solar radiation. Very good defenses, major population centers almost entirely underground, tons of experience with tunnel fighting. Really only the Tyranids stood a realistic chance at defeating the Squats since even the Astartes Legions during the Great Crusade were struggling against the Squats. Still doesn't explain how they were quietly gobbled up by the Tyranids seemingly overnight and without the rest of the Imperium really giving a damn despite the sheer quantity lost of raw resources, technology, and manpower the loss of the Squat Homeworlds represents. A few of the worlds could be lost without immediate notice due to the Shadow in the Warp thing, but ALL of them?
@@WASDLeftClick I mean maybe someone accidentally deleted the records of the squats. I mean like locations in general. Maybe (definitely ) survived said tyranids because most forms of tyranids were smaller groups. Small is still a lot with tyranids. I wouldn’t be surprised if the fucking planets could move. It’s 40k after all maybe the squats said fuck it turning the planet into a ship
Eh, kinda but not really. Since everyone and their dog made a video on the subject in the past day or two, they are considered more relevant, I think. Not complaining tho.

You know what, this is a really nice send off to the series and embraces that wonderfully weird humor we've come to love. Proud of all y'all and looking forward to whatever the future might bring.
You can actually notice that, during the scene where they listen to the squat broadcast, the inquisitor gets gradually redder as he listens on. But yeah, it's there, nice catch
The man-Peror would approve of the secession. Because that way once he gets off the god couch of pain and sacrifice he can go to squats and ask them to join the imperium again as an ally.
Maybe also give the squats resources to possibly start research and development again in the imperium, possibly actually get a leg up on all those outdated chaos ships for once
@@ancientscion2381 Well in various fantasy settings including warhammer fanatasy, engineering and technological innovation does seem to be a thing dwarfs have an inherent knack for. Considering Cawl's already been commiting tech heresy for a while and getting away with it mostly thanks to him being slick as an oil margarita while navigating mechanicus internal politics, I imagine he would have some respect for squat engineers, even if they don't believe in the omniasiah.
I love the idea of Squats making their own rival empire. They dissapeared because they didn't give a shit about the emperium and just grinded power in a lonely corner of the galaxy.
Thank you for this. You folks put so much care and dedication into all of this. TTS isn't gone, Karl just turned off the Gellar field during the last beer run.

I love how this has turned out to be remarkably accurate to the lore of the Leagues of Votann. Hate chaos, piss on the imperium. Some imperial still deny they exist etc. All aboard the secession train, indeed.
Also they are ironically the most welcoming and friendly faction besides the tau.
I feel like the space wolfs would love these guys
Imagine a space wolf and a squat drinking cost contest
Wolves bring the drink, Squats bring the Baggis.
Or a bagpipe and drinking contest between them the finrhet, drookians, mortessens, the storm wardens and the tanga woad warriors
I know what you meant to say but the idea of an astronautical check at the end of the contest is quite funny to me
Squats: everyone gets wee BAGGIS!!!!
Me coming from a long line of both Irish and or Scottish blood lines: COUNT ME IN!?!?!!??!!??!?
I get that baggis means burgers, but "wee baggis"?
@@cc1093 wee = free in some fictional accent in the 40k universe or its a real accent that people don’t know about
@@preston726 Wee means small in Broad Scots.
@@Ma_Zhongying thank you for the translation now everyone gets a small baggis but the numbers are huge

Ok how come this comment got no replies?
A wise poet once said:
"Better learn the difference, irony is not coincidence!" - Alfred Yankovic, Word Crimes.
I am now considering this the first contact with the Leagues of Voltan.
Yeah it was just too good to be shown as an official trailer.
I honestly wish Urist was in this. I can only imagine what kind of a "rant" he would go into in this situation.
I don't think we've ever seen Urist interact with other dwarves.
VindicareAssassin I meant his rant to the governor, inquisitor, and aid.
@@VindicareAssassinTTS We did, once. We saw Urist be rewarded by the Dwarf King at the end of Ravandil's Quest 2.
This video has aged TO PERFECTION!
It was cooked in the puny IP policy blast
And so with the introduction of 3D printers caught by the eyes of Ex - Games workshop customers, the Squats make a ghastly return to bring us all Baggers
What are baggers? I must know so that I may enjoy them.
@@warlordmain5084 just a funny way of saying burgers
@@anonymoususer208 Oh, I thought it was like space haggis or something
@@warlordmain5084 might of been, I could be wrong
@Anonymous User actually is both is a type of grass that they use or their drink 🍹 technology and trains yes I am serious and as hamburgers or just normal vegan food so not only squats are vegans but dwarfs space vegans who also use plant drugs as energy for their technology, but sadly because they were tô cartoony for 40k because of vegan food technology they were put in rectconia with poor malal
This aged incredibly well.
Based and train pilled
I feel like being under squat rule wouldn’t be that bad compared to literally everyone else.
I mean the only thing you have to worry about is not getting beaten to death via hammers or run over by quote on quote “TRREEEEENS” anyway we probably(98% chance) get better living conditions and less stupid nobles.
From what I understand they used to inhabit a bunch of high-gravity mineral-rich worlds near the galactic core collectively called the Homeworlds which they heavily fortified and defended with tech at least on Imperial level and sometimes a bit better. Combine that with their distinct lack of dumb tech restrictions because Machine God and similarly distinct lack dumb Emperor worship and it seems like a pretty decent faction to exist in. Granted they still practice hereditary monarchy and have an aristocratic class, but hey they survived the Age of Strife on their own so we can't expect them to be completely based.
@@WASDLeftClick I feel each world is a fortress then
@@ancientscion2381 Pretty much yeah. Generally lots of subterranean construction too due to the nature of the worlds as mining colonies prior to the Age of Strife and a tendency for their surfaces to be harsh, with thin atmospheres and intense solar radiation. Very good defenses, major population centers almost entirely underground, tons of experience with tunnel fighting.
Really only the Tyranids stood a realistic chance at defeating the Squats since even the Astartes Legions during the Great Crusade were struggling against the Squats. Still doesn't explain how they were quietly gobbled up by the Tyranids seemingly overnight and without the rest of the Imperium really giving a damn despite the sheer quantity lost of raw resources, technology, and manpower the loss of the Squat Homeworlds represents. A few of the worlds could be lost without immediate notice due to the Shadow in the Warp thing, but ALL of them?
@@WASDLeftClick I mean maybe someone accidentally deleted the records of the squats.
I mean like locations in general.
Maybe (definitely ) survived said tyranids because most forms of tyranids were smaller groups. Small is still a lot with tyranids. I wouldn’t be surprised if the fucking planets could move. It’s 40k after all maybe the squats said fuck it turning the planet into a ship
@@ancientscion2381 maybe they convinced the hive fleet to leave by ramming a planet into them repeatedly
He fucking predicted it! Squats are coming back!!!
I for one, welcome our new squattish overlords.
im convinced
Free BAGGIS for everyone!
They'd do a helluva lot better job then the selfish brainlets we got running the show nowadays.
*Underlords

Eh, kinda but not really. Since everyone and their dog made a video on the subject in the past day or two, they are considered more relevant, I think.
Not complaining tho.
Our people burned for this kind of awesome shit I wish sometime in the future people like u and alfa return to us to make us laugh and cry again I miss u guys and fyedor

THE SQUATS ARE BACK BABY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
“Yay, Squats.” -Royal Dorn on Squats
Thank you for this. Even since gw went all horus and bit the hand that fed them, its been dark times. But you guys bring some light and levity with the odd little releases like this. I hope you continue to work on TTS without releasing so that when gw comes to its senses or is over thrown you guys can release what youve worked so hard on... But i also want to see you guys branch out into new stuff, and see where your creative genius takes you. I know you guys will be able to turn anything you touch into gold, and i look forward to it.
THEY'RE FREAKIN' BACK BABYYYYY
Fucking called it!
But it's April fool's so....

Squats are back! It was FORETOOOOOLD
So shall it be
I love that even though we hear the sound of Sloan's corpse hitting the ground, he actually just disintegrates on the spot.
That's his shoes hitting the ground.
I definetly didn't miss the sound effect on the hundereds of times I heard the audio and didn't think "disintegration by bullets sounds like a badass idea"
@@VindicareAssassinTTS
Laughing my ass off. Didn't expect a response from a 2 year old video.
@@DemonicEngineer I get anxious when I see the notification bell have a red number next to it, so I have a compulsion to see what the notification is about.
And since I don't get that many comments, I actually have time to read them and respond.
I love the support this community is giving even after all the years. You guys are swell.
@@VindicareAssassinTTS
MY GOD i heavily relate to that anxiety.
I'm incapable of leaving notifications for later.
It even got so bad I had to turn off notifications for answers to comments, because I don't make videos anyway, and most notifications tended to be answers to a flame war from several months ago.
Still loving this community and the videos associated with it.
It is beautiful hearing Alfa’s voice scrape my eardrums!
Truly, he has been blessed by the plague father.
Such is the power of Alfabusa that this video came true as of today, April the 2nd of 2022.
Everybody gangsta till alfabusa pulls a Simpson level prediction

THE SQQQUAAAAAATSSS ARE BACKKKKKKK
TREEEEENNNSSS AND BAGGINSSSS FOR EVERYONE
*As of April 2nd, 2022, Squats have been confirmed for a GW return!*
“Should we stop this?”
This is officially the second time a dwarf/squat has surprised the dark Eldar.
“Should we stop this?”
“Of course not, this is hilarious! The mon’kai are getting dominated by smaller mon’kai! Oh this is just great!”
Busa's accent really makes it glorious.
Cheers, Vindicare. Hail Alfa, screw GW.
This has all new meaning with the fact they actually brought them back.
The bagpipes really make this whole thing.
Thank you. I needed this.
Hopefully squats and TSS will return in the future.
We sure hope so as well! Thank you for being so kind
Seems GW will grant one of these wishes.
GUESS WHOS BACK!
BACK AGAIN!
In light of recent news i make a pilgrimage back here.
Welcome, pilgrim

Corvus Corax: Stop doing that.

A NECESSARY EVIL
I heard a rumor that they loosend this recently, Could be wrong ofcource.

Well until we get something more official I’m afraid TTS and the like will remain on standby until otherwise.
Finally! The grudging is reaching space!!!
"WEE BAGGIS FER EVERYONE!"
"Fuck I'm convinced"
These quotes got me. XD
Damn does it ring truer than ever with the new Warhammer Community video
ALL ABOARD THE SECESSION TRRRREEN!!!!!
imagine a consumer boycott where everyone just buys unofficial squat minis lmao
YESSS
This, is, beautiful... *weeps tears of joy being a Squat player*
If I ever get around to making that IG army, I am going to have Squats in there, just cause, and beastmen, also, why are there no Ratling infantry squads?
@@cheshire4856 Yeah, I'm not sure why.
I have a Death Korps of Kreig Army & a Squat, Ratling & Oygran contingency with Imperial Drills. I have both infantry & heavy Squats but I use the Veterans stats for them.
@@cheshire4856 With third party models and parts, anything is possible. Wargames Atlantic puts out a great set of space dwarves (part of their Death Fields line). Whereas Victoria Miniatures has a selection of conversion bits for beastmen.
@@Bluecho4 Mantic's Deadzone Forgefathers have some decent sculpts too. Not as versatile or quite as cheap as WA's stuff, but that new engineer mech suit that's coming out is a thing of beauty.
They be back me laddies!

this is most relevant now since april 1 of 2022
Turns out you guys were prophets...
ROCK AN STONE BRATHER!!!!!

TTS predicted Squats coming back 4/01/22
You know what, this is a really nice send off to the series and embraces that wonderfully weird humor we've come to love. Proud of all y'all and looking forward to whatever the future might bring.
Thank you, you're very kind.
"Ooh, FUCK yeah!", what I said verbatim when I first saw Squats in Warhammer 40K lore.
1:49 did anybody see the inquisitor face go red when the abominable governor mentioned the word Squat. That is so much detail into animation.
You can actually notice that, during the scene where they listen to the squat broadcast, the inquisitor gets gradually redder as he listens on.
But yeah, it's there, nice catch
Aaand now Squats are an official thing now. Yey
And now the squats are fully back and ready to conquer the imperium
Came back to this video now that squats are officially announced again
When an Darkeldar say "Should we....stop this?", you know something is very, VERY, wrong.
The man-Peror would approve of the secession. Because that way once he gets off the god couch of pain and sacrifice he can go to squats and ask them to join the imperium again as an ally.
Maybe also give the squats resources to possibly start research and development again in the imperium, possibly actually get a leg up on all those outdated chaos ships for once
@@andrewgreeb916 so essentially make new or rediscover old technology without a red robe bastard coming in to horde it and not use it.
@@andrewgreeb916 and not turn you into a servitor for TECH HERESY
@@ancientscion2381 Well in various fantasy settings including warhammer fanatasy, engineering and technological innovation does seem to be a thing dwarfs have an inherent knack for. Considering Cawl's already been commiting tech heresy for a while and getting away with it mostly thanks to him being slick as an oil margarita while navigating mechanicus internal politics, I imagine he would have some respect for squat engineers, even if they don't believe in the omniasiah.
@@7ElevenTruther it’s not really tech heresy since such a concept is degrading for them to have.
Unless it involves warp stuff now that’s tech heresy
May the Man-Emperor protect you and your channel from the GREEDY WRETCHES.
I love the idea of Squats making their own rival empire.
They dissapeared because they didn't give a shit about the emperium and just grinded power in a lonely corner of the galaxy.
Finding this short 3 years later feels like uncovering lost lore.
@@Fierce0Deity0Link wait it has been three years already?
Shit

Thank you for this. You folks put so much care and dedication into all of this. TTS isn't gone, Karl just turned off the Gellar field during the last beer run.
Thank you for your kind words
I only have one question: What is a "TREENS!!"?
I think it has something to do with BAGGIS
It’s like a train but incredibly squat
Pretty sure it involves bagpipes.
