Lord Krungharr Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I thoroughly enjoy throwing down purely random armies sometimes I endorse the all Squig method! Still, good to have the Fungoid Shaman in there for extra CP and help with spells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're on massive bases. 5-6 wounds each would make them feel truly monstrous. So should Bullgors. 50mm bases should always count as 2 models. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Chumphammer Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) There was one in the Monstrous Arcanum faq a month ago I think So 6 attacks, hitting on 3s (if ovwer 5 models) and wounding on 3s for D3 no rend. Its ok i guess, but not sure if worth 175? Edited November 9, 2021 by Chumphammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chumphammer Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I think I might actually try this for pure squig amusement value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganigumo Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 @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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Garuun Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Had a doubles event this past weekend and managed to bring home a third place running this list for 4 of my 5 games, only dropping a game against a Pretrifex Nagash/Arkhan list.Allegiance: Gloomspite Gitz- Grand Strategy: Prized Sorcery- Triumphs: InspiredLeadersLoonboss on Mangler Squigs (310)*- General- Command Trait: Dodgy Character- Artefact: Arcane Tome (Universal Artefact)- Lore of the Moonclans: Itchy NuisanceWebspinner Shaman on Arachnarok Spider (295)**- Artefact: Web-strung Cloak- Lore of the Spiderfangs: Sneaky DistractionWebspinner Shaman (85)**- Lore of the Spiderfangs: Gift of da Spider GodFungoid Cave-Shaman (95)**- Lore of the Moonclans: The Hand of GorkBattleline20 x Stabbas (150)*- Stabbas & Moon Shields- 3x Barbed Nets- 1x Moonclan Flag Bearers- 1x Badmoon Icon Bearers20 x Stabbas (150)*- Stabbas & Moon Shields- 3x Barbed Nets- 1x Moonclan Flag Bearers- 1x Badmoon Icon Bearers10 x Squig Hoppers (180)***Units10 x Loonsmasha Fanatics (290)***- Reinforced x 1BehemothsMangler Squigs (275)*Endless Spells & InvocationsEmerald Lifeswarm (60)Scrapskuttle's Arachnacauldron (50)The Burning Head (20)Core Battalions*Battle Regiment**Command Entourage - Magnificent***Hunters of the HeartlandsAdditional EnhancementsArtefactTotal: 1960 / 2000Reinforced Units: 1 / 4Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 116Drops: 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitzdee Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) 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?

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. Edited December 1, 2021 by Dingding123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrrNiGit Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I have a one dayer this weekend and am thinking about taking this list: 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... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
