Squig Gobba
8 Squig Herds
40 Stabbas
20 Shootas
3 Fanatics

Was thinking of running a squig herd swarms (like 8 single units) and just swarm the board/obj while have manglers cause havoc.

If i owned these units i would run something like this just for the fun of it. A tidal wave of squigs. Could drop a mangler for some wizards + boingrot bounderz.

I had a list with 3 manglers and a ton of squigs. My worry is heroes being killed quick then squigs just melting 

I havent used the Gobba yet, is it any good?

@Chumphammer
Looks like a fun list, but it might be worth sticking some Sneaky snufflers and a shaman in there (or maybe take the arcane tome) so you can get the Squig Lure spell. Snufflers give out +1 attack to Moonclan units, so squig herds are a valid target, and +1 attack on those 25mm bases is very nice.

I dont have any snufflers, and I dropped the shamans as just wanted to do Squigs. Could do the Tome but tbh our magics so hit and miss and so many magic armies atm Just wanted full squig sillyness. This isnt for a tournament or anything

Additional Enhancements
Artefact

Total: 1960 / 2000
Reinforced Units: 1 / 4
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 116
Drops: 6

Having pretty easy access to -1 to hit and -2 rend feels pretty good currently, and fanatics doubled their points almost every game.

Matchups were; Bloodtoof Double Krushas, Nighthaunt, Squig Heavy Gloomspite and Petrifex Nagash/Arkhan.
Couldve won the Petrifex game if I'd been a bit less consevative with my deployment, but that's what you get from having your first 5 AoS3 games of gloomspite at an event.

How do i use Squig Hoppers and Squig Herds? I got a small game in but i got destroyed. Had a Squig Herd on a objective trying to hold it but i lost a few and a battleshock test took the rest. I just couldnt seem to trample a unit with the Hoppers. Do i need some kind of screen or did i just have bad rolls? Do i need to babysit the squig herd? Where do i position the Loonboss on Squig or do i use him to hunt down other leaders? I think i'm doing something very wrong.

Also for a 1000p list. Should i best run 1x herd with 2x hoppers or 2x herd with 1x hoppers?

There's your problem: your squigs were holding an objective.  They needed to be biting the crunchy things at enemy objectives.  Your leaders should tag along as well, so you can get at least one free pass on a battleshock test for your little red balls of death per round.  If said leaders get focused and die, the squigs didn't get focused and the leaders did their job. 

Basically dismantle games as quickly as possible if you have squigs in play lol.  The light of the Bad Moon helps, since it lets them run+charge and they get free rerolls on both run and charge rolls.  Reinforcing them in smaller games helps as well since the 4 herder models buff their survivability, plus you can bring a few squigs back with Rally when they get whittled down and can also dedicate 1 CP to passing battleshock for all of them.  A Dankhold can buff their bravery on the go, but they have their own bag of rocks.

I have a one dayer this weekend and am thinking about taking this list: 

DAEE1771-BEC9-4E52-9098-90F446A37E38.jpeg.777391e452ed96a3fc9846455652b2a7.jpeg

The shootas, gobba and green spite shaman sit back and blast. The rest bounce forward to victory! What do you all think? 

Not sure if I should mob up the bounders into a 10 and a 5. Not sure if the hunters battalion is worth it. Not really sure of anything...

Yeah, I think im gonna try and use him more as he adds some value now he can threaten objs. I used him Sat with squigs and smashed a Seraphon player

Highlight was a 6x5 charge impact on a Carnosaur lol

Got a list idea for the current set-up? I wouldn’t mind having Kraggy turn a Squiggalanche into hungry cannonballs with that new ability. :D
