I was looking over the subfaction rules from BR: Kragnos in the app, am i missing something or are you not forced to take the subfaction command trait anymore? The artifacts still have the rule that first artifact must go to etc, but cant find the same for the command traits.

The Core Rules said that you must pick the subfaction Enhancements.

"Sometimes the rules for a subfaction will give you access to a further set of allegiance abilities. If the allegiance abilities for a subfaction include a command trait and the general of your army has the keyword for that subfaction, then that command trait must be the one you give to your general. If the allegiance abilities for a subfaction include an artefact of power and any HEROES in your army have the keyword for that subfaction, then that artefact of power must be the first artefact of power given to one of those HEROES."

Huzzah, endless spells got cheaper in the GHB leaks!  Not the most exciting thing to ever happen but it definitely makes a difference in mage lists.  Running Moon, Mork's and Scuttletide is now collectively 170pts down from 265.  Arachnacauldron is actually 10 pts more expensive, but that was already the best endless spell we had so it's not as bad as it sounds.

Mushroom is finally playable, I could literally never find the points to fit it into lists before.

1.) With the first list you have 5 reinforcements; you could split up some of the Boingrots as an easy fix.  Or, have two pairs of 3 Rockguts instead of all three battlelines being in blobs of 6.

2.) You could use a couple of the newly-buffed endless spells with your wizards!  Malevolent Moon dropping to 60 and Scuttletide down to 70 is a nice little boon (albeit Scuttletide's not easy to cast); also Mork's Mighty Mushroom can be a massive swing at a bargain, especially if your own footmen are Rockguts who can brush off mortals if they happen to get caught in it.  The neutral Endless Spells got loads of buffs too, so they're also worth considering - Cogs or anything else that helps Rockguts get in the paint can be really broken here!

3.) Two Dankbosses can be good recursion so that you can afford to let one fight on the front lines among the Rockguts.  They basically have a 2+ save when it matters thanks to Finest Hour + All-Out Defence or Mystic Shield, so adding another is definitely a worthy investment.  Plus both can get an Artefact!

In the process of building myself a Gitz Mirebrute. Still need to clean up some greenstuff and maybe add some more shrooms. Used gitmob shields to make the chair. Made some funkier hair from fellwater troggs. The grot is part squigherder, wolfrider and squighopper.

That Rally is going to be incredibly annoying lol.  Especially with Galletian Veterans.  The enemy guns down or deepstrikes minimum size Squigs on an objective by a Loonshrine only for them to get Rallied later and still count as 24 units on the point...

The bonus save to Troggs makes me think Skragrott is a worthy contender for general of that army.  If you can just tell the moon to be in the center so your Dankbosses have 3+ saves for the rest of the BR and battlelines get 4+ that's pretty nutty.  Also +2 to cast makes it mighty easy to cast Hand of Gork, as well as the likes of Cogs and whatever else that can help them get in the paint which can be really big.

Even small wizards become much better with that +1 to cast.  What a buff!  The only thing that makes me remotely upset is that this probably means no book for us this year lol

The changes are good but I don't think they're enough to bring us up out of the depths.

I do like that the loonshrine change lets us build a castle of wizards with +2 though.

Also how does rally interact with returned units? I'm guessing it wouldn't let you rally more dead grots after you return it?

Returned units are new units for most (if not all) purposes and only if they lose someone they can rally dudes

working on my gitz list for upcoming tournaments. 

i feel like the list synergieses incredibly weel, won two games out of two so far. 

the -3 on squig herd is nuts, with fight lasts and 4+ rally now its even easier to keep squigs alive!

squigs seem like absolute blenders now into gally vets, the loonshrine rework is fantastic to get +! cast dead easy, 4+ squig lure is pretty wicked, near arcane terrain too would be amazing.
