Honor: Due to some unspoken sin, these Squats have devoted their lives to fighting for Squats, until the day that they die. Their death wish because of this abominable, unknown crime has driven them to face their foes with no armor whatsoever, their only protection being their tough skin and massively wide (even by Squat standards) bodies.

The massive size of the armour gives it the advantages of a Dreadnought, but is treated as a normal model (hence the Troop profile instead of Vehicle profile).

Transport: The Mole can carry up to 10 Squat warriors, or 5 Squat warriors in Exo-armor.

Special Rules
Tunneler: The Squat mentality is one of strike hard and from their natural protection. The Mole has been constructed to take advantage of just that! In scenarios allowing for Deep Striking troops, the Mole may deep strike instead of deploying normally. Work this out as normal for a Deep Striking unit, except measure the scatter from the center of the Mole instead of using the Ordinance template.

Driller: The drill on the front of the Mole makes for a dangerous weapon. If the Mole is used to Tank Shock a unit, roll a D6 for every model that passes its Morale check and moves out of the way. On a 4+, the model suffers a wound from the spinning blades of the drill. The unit may make an armor save as normal.
