It doesnt work as well because the hoppers and bounderz play a different role to stabbas. Stabbas are there for number of bodies and for sustain. However I am sure you can still go spell spam with squigs but you will just play a different style over all  - and it wont be as competitive. Stabbas are lowkey our best unit in the book.

[BadBrain]

Short question: Which battallion gives our Squigriders the ability to re-roll their movement? Was it the squigalanche or the stampede?

[PlasticCraic]

@BadBrain that's the Stampede bud

1D4Chan is good for stuff like that, when you don't have your book handy:

[BadBrain]

Thanks a lot.....but another qustion: If I like to build up a squigalanche, do I have to pay the extra 90 points for the stampede, so 230 in total?

Exact, you need the Squig Rider Stampede battalion to active the squigalanche one

[Ragnar Alpaca]

What is the best option to build my arachnarok spider as? I will be using it in a mixed force with a bit of everything if that helps.

Webspinner Shaman is the best all-rounder for sure

Looks like a pretty solid list, might have to steal that... I get that Fungoids are great, but how about if you go full hog on squigs? Like so:

6 x Sneaky Snufflers (70)

Total: 1000 / 1000

Wounds: 94

The problem however is that you'd probably want to use both bosses' command abilities and you might be a bit starved on CP...

[simakover]

Im thinking about two fungals cause their spell is good for buff squigs. If we not use ichy Nuance, then we might get in trouble with second attacking pack of bounders

[Weazel]

The spells and potential extra CPs are nice, however spells are not that difficult to unbind so better not rely on them 100%.  But yeah, I'm gonna steal your list and try it on Saturday.

I really hope their warscroll is good in AoS ! 

[Gothmaug]

You think they will have a gitmob warscroll? I wouldn’t be suprised if they end up in mawtribes. Aesthetic fits better

The more I learn about Beastgrave, the more I think it's going to show fighters and warriors from smaller tribes that don't muster realm-shaking forces.  Weren't the Wolf Riders just flat-out squatted?

Yup Gitmob grots went oop a long while ago, even before Greenskinz. A bit funny since their artillery were actually pretty great allies and gitmob grot archers were better and cheaper than moonclan shootas.

Though on the topic of beastgrave to be fair one warband is a completely new race of alves (unknown where they fit either in their own army or eventual 3.0 sylvaneth?), and the other is beasts of chaos.

Good day fellow grot fan, after nurgle and slaanesh my next army will be a gloomspite gitz one, but I've some doubt how to play this little ******. The list I'm building right now is the one up there (which I found a few pages ago, thanks to @GlitzFan).

My friends meta consist of: Stormcast (balista and stuff), Deepkin (not the mono eel version but still very strong), Kharadron, Legion of Nagash; should I modify in some way the list or I should at least compete with them?

Thanks in advice for all the suggestions

[GlitzFan]

We have known players who win tournaments or podium with this list and with similar lists. But I think  theyre the very experienced players. With this list you have the chance to certainly do the same! I would say you'd beat all of those factions you mentioned above as we are probably stronger (nagash himself might be very hard - no experience myself). 

[Orphen1991]

Nice, thank you very much. I'm not searching too much powerful, just something to actually play with my friends and have fun (and gitz seems reeeally fun to play).

[GlitzFan]

@Orphen1991Awesome to hear. Competitive gitz are not fun and fun gitz are not competitive unfortunately. But we do get the option of both which is great! 

Spamming grots and magic is our competitive and not so fun for opponent and slow grindy game for us. 

Almost all other units are so fun. E.g. fanatics, mangler, trolls, squigs! These units are also good (and some excellent) but if you want a solid list you want a backbone of grots to supplement it.  

There are not many units that are deemed pretty crappy. Most commonly squig hoppers and spider riders are considered not great (because they are crappy).

@Orphen1991 I think you have way too much endless spell. I'm not exactly sure of what you're trying to acheive, but i would limit myself to 2-3 at most (my personnal choice would be Geminid and Malevolent moon)

Mmm ok so what would you add to the list? Maybe more grot and/or fanatics for more damage?

I simply love the endless spell so I like have so many choice into the list.

[broche]

Depend of what you have available but virtually any model: Spider rider, Boundgrots, fanatics, troggoth would all work. It would increase your board coverage as well as give you extra chaff units making your list much more reliable.
