I have been in the process of tracking down Rogue Trader figures (Orks and Squats and a little Chaos). I find that they are full of character.

I am planning on doing Kill Teams for each.

Are there any good resources for Squats? Did they have a Codex that mentioned the Egg Power Armor guys?

How about the Orks in Mega Armor? Not the new guys, but the older Mega armor guys.

For Squats the red compilation book has all you need. Platoon and squad organizations. There are rules for Exo-Armour (Egg stuff) in that book too. The Red book is all stuff from White Dwarf, so you can get the White Dwarfs too.

Orks had Power-Armour back then, in the RT days. Back then the armour isn't race specific, just like the weapons. Orks had bolt guns and plasma guns… I'm assuming you are looking at figs that came out during RT.

Yep. Got dem Orks with Plasma and bolters.

Any links to the Red Compilation?

For Squats the red compilation book has all you need.

The original (full, stand-alone) RT army list appeared in WD 111, which might be cheaper to come by.

The numbers are a mess, but the fluff is the good ol' stuff!

True, but easier to find.

So is there anything in WD 111 that isn't in the Red Compilation. I got the Compilation now. Just wondering if WD has anything extra for the Squats.
