Greetings, and welcome back to another Art Monday. Here is another unpublished Squat piece. This one was done for Inquisitor Magazine back in the mid-'90s for their Squat army list issue. It was rejected due to being overly violent. In hindsight, yeah, I could've toned it down a bit. But was it really any more violent than some of the stuff in Realm Of Chaos: Lost And The Damned? Debatable. Yet I understood the decision. It was a bit of a bummer as it was one of favorites from the bunch.
The Tzeentchian Greater Daemon was based off of one of the original Rogue Trader-era miniatures of the Changer Of Ways as it was also still the current miniature at that time. GW would eventually settle on the name Lord Of Change for this beastie also. They couldn't think of a new name for the Squats however, so they would be left behind to die a dishonorable death by neglect...

Such a great piece! Shame the poor Squats are about to be shredded.
Well, it's a better way to go than the dismissive "they were eaten by tyranids" line that GW used for two decades. At least here they got to fight back!
Ha! Agree completely. Squats were my first 40k love and I don’t think I’ll ever forgive GW for effectively deleting them from the galaxy.
