The Rapier is a stationary laser weapon originally designed to defend against armoured vehicles, though recent variants provide different tactical options.
Unit Type: Infantry
Mole Mortar
Mole Mortars are strange ‘artilery’ weapons that release tunnelling ammunition that burrows beneath enemy lines, bypassing defences, and emerging right under the target’s feet.
Thunderers
Squat Thunderers are excellent ranged specialists, armed with missile launchers and Heavy Bolters that can deal with armoured vehicles and infantry.
Hearthguard
Squat Hearthguard are elite warriors of high social status. There Heirloom guns and axes provide them with good close combat and ranged ability, and they can lead and inspire troops in battle.
Bikers
Squat Bikers are fast attack troops with good close combat ability. They speed into battle riding custom choppers and wearing mirror lense eye-wear.
Berserkers
Squat Berserkers are ferocious close combat troops armed with Bolt Pistols and assault weapons. They prevent the enemy from getting too close to ranged formations, and can also be found riding into battle aboard the mighty Squat Land Train.
Warriors
Squat Warriors are good all-round troops with more staying power than the average human soldier. They come with missle launchers as standard, providing some long-range support.
Living Ancestor
On the rare occasion a Squat lives beyond his normal lifespan of 300 years, he develops psychic abilities that enable him to provide expert insights to his commanders.
Warlord
Squat Warlords often wade into battle wearing heavy power armour called ‘Exo Armour’. This affords them a re-roll on armour saves, and provides them with formidable close combat ability.
Stealth Battlesuits
Stealth Battlesuits are technologically advanced pieces of equipment incorporating Tau Jet Packs and light-bending disruption fields that conceal them from enemy eyes. Their Silenced Burst Cannons provide an effective anti-infantry capability, and Markerlights help to increase the accuracy of friendly units’ weapons.
