Also I have no idea what the DoomShroom does now as I dont have the new warscrolls for endless spells

The new warscrolls for Gloomspite Spells are within their latest FAQ, https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/zlz7V5Cs5CzGDO8k.pdf

I find Gloomspite Gits are really dependent on those reinforcement points, respectively the max number of times you can double/tripple your unit size.

Theres several units who compete for bigger unit sizes - stabbas, boingrots, battleline troggoths, fanatics, squig herd...

It will be difficult in a mixed gloomspite army i think, but if you go full grots (with all the buffs and stuffs) you should have one block of 60 as it is a huge force multiplier for several CA, like redeploy, +1hit, loonboss, battleshock immune etc.

I think I never built a list that needs more than 4 reinforcements. The only list I can't build is the 45 Bounderz list and because you can't put 15 Bounderz in one unit anymore, that list doesn't matter anymore.

[Warboss Gorbolg]

Thanks for the replies. I'm a slow hobbyist and therefore try to find the subjective intersection of fun narrative, build/paint, and effectiveness. As a result, I avoid repetitive or skewed lists. Perhaps if I continue to collect GSG, eventually I will be able to play those lists as my collection gets bigger and bigger.

Right now, my thought was to build around 40 stabbas, 24 herd, 10 bounderz, and 6 troggoths as the core of a 2k army.

[Chumphammer]

Finally got some paint on some of my Gitz. Squignos not painted yet but teeth fixed and primed 

[Falandris]

Hey guys, is there a way to conveniently drop a Gobbapalooza while avoiding to drop every model seperately? To my understanding every Model should count as a troop-choice, right? So maybe put all into a seperate one-drop battalion? How are you including them right now?

What are you playing in 3.0?

[Chumphammer]

Squignos is done

[baiardo]

When new grots were released?There is a site where I can see first time actual models of gloomspite were being released?(the year).

Bringing this to a casual 1500pt game with a friend on Wednesday. Any suggestions? That is most of my models, other than one more madcap shaman, 2 more loonbosses on GCS, a colossal squig, and a box of sneaky snufflers. I haven’t painted the snufflers yet which is why they aren’t in the list.

@GnomeChomskyhey, if you use warscroll builder is much better to read the lists and always updated.

Seems good, personally I would drop the loonboss on squig for another 5boingrot.

[GnomeChomsky]

Another box of Bounders is on my list. Not sure if I would give up the extra +3in movement from the GCS. I’m interested to see if the more consistent movement from the Jaws of Mork allegiance could make up for that 3in. Also if it’s just worth the Relic and  Trait tax at all without access to warscroll battalions in 3rd. I’d probably give my Mangler boss “fight another day” and my Fungoid the Arcane Tome if I dropped the Jaws of Mork.

Gloomspite can have kruleboyz as allies?I saw only greenskinz&bonesplitterz.

Newest GHB has done away with separate unit tables for warclans stuff, so its all just warclans, and Gitz were updated to have warclans as an ally replacing bonesplitterz and greenskins (who went to legends).

So we can use bonesplitterz, Ironjawz, or Kruleboyz as allies now.

Yeah looking to see what the Kruelboyz bolt thrower has to offer when released next month

 

[Warboss Gorbolg]

Guess that I can be slow on the uptake, but it just occurred to me that the  Kruelboyz bolt thrower could be a great reason to pull out all those old goblin spear chukkas as proxies for Gloomspite.

[baiardo]

My hope is to finally play squig or squig/troggoth in.."drumroll"..competitive.

Same 😄, looking at warcom daily if they said something about bolt thrower already

Could be the perfect replacement for squig-gobba if it will have -1 to rend.

Also, there are some kind of rumors for troggoth hag and colossal squig, like new models for them?

Rend -1 is kinda underwhelming right now, maybe -2 it's ballista after all. What is interesting whether it will be sufficiently useful as ally, or whether it will just rely too much on Krulboyz allegiance abilities.

Heard nothing about FW models, seems as pure speculation honestly.

[baiardo]

Hey, I'm playing around this mixed list, can you help me improve it?

I also want to build one "competitive" list(as much as I can) with Kragnos, you have tested him with gloomspite, with good results?

Yup--just add a leader for the battalion and they all drop at once. It'll also leave two demi-leader and one artillery/behemoth slot open if you have pieces from other parts of the army you want one-dropped.

Hi, Just a quick question about the Universal Artefact Arcane Tome in the GHB21. If I give it to a Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig he gains the WIZARD keyword. Does this mean he gets to select a spell form the lore of the moonclans? I can choose any of the three spells from the universal spell lore in the GHB21 when I give the artefact to the Loonboss on Warscroll Builder but the option to choose a spell from our book is not available. Am I missing something? I think he should get to choose a spell from our lore as he has all the correct keywords to do so. GLOOMSPITE GITZ -WIZARD - MOONCLAN - HERO

The unit must be part of the book and you only need the Keywords: WIZARD MOONCLAN  or SPIDERFANG MOONCLAN.
