Along the way, we'll pause for some White Dwarf wisdom and interesting flacts. Flacts. Is that going to fly as a contraction of "fluff" and "facts"? Only you can decide, bitchcakes.
Part 1: Rogue Trader 40K, the Disorganized Period. 1987-1989.
This my name for the early years of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. A time before detailed army lists, dominated by spurts of troopers with dozens of exotic weapons, and by the over-sharing of vehicles and heavy weapons.

Part 2: Rogue Trader 40K Squats Army List, 1989.
Spring of 1989 saw the release of the first Squat Army List, as well as the expansion of the miniatures line with Space Dwarfs plastics box and hybrid metal-body/plastic-arm Squats. The variety of Squat troop types expanded, but the exotic weapons were exchanged for standard Imperial issue weaponry. Aside from their Bikes and Trikes, the Squats would continue to share the vehicles of the Imperium as well.
Most of the new models were released during 1989. After that, the Squats appeared briefly in the numerous revisions to the vehicle rules that plagued Rogue Trader, and the occasional 'Eavy Metal picture.

Part 3: Squats Get Smaller for Epic Space Marine, 1989-1990.
In the 6mm scene, the Epic Marines and Guard would develop their non-Titan forces, producing a number of vehicles that would be shared with Squats, especially the Tunneling Trooper Transports. Unfortunately, the Squats did not receive their Infantry Sprue until the summer of 1990, making stunty-lovers wait anxiously for some Hearthguard to fill their Hellbores.
