[Thiagoma]

Greetings!

Whew, 140 pages Thread! I read some but i am still unsure of what to do, soooo

 

I recently got a Looncurse box and really enjoy Squigs! My local meta is 1250-1500 points

I'm undefeated locally with this build and strategy. I have a one drop army. I choose to go first and spend cp  to run onto all of the objectives with my large units. I make sure they're buffed each by loonbosses and have buffed attacks from sporesplatters and sneaky snufflers unit. 

 

Good stuff! This is very similar to what I'm going for in a 2k point list, most armies simply cannot deal with a grot wall.

But have you considered what'd happen if you faced something with some dedicated antihorde?

For reference, any min-maxxed tzeentch lists will have a gaunt summoner on a balewind able to wipe off 30 of your 60 blob with a single cast, from across the map, which they can easily rig to constantly go off.

Slaanesh is likely to run up a seeker into a blob and go for the spell that rolls em one dice per model, doing d3 mortal wounds per 6.

Skaven Pestilens will be shunting -2 rend 2d6 damage plagueclaw shots at you every turn, while their verminlords will do another potential half-blob wiping spell once they get into range (which they will do very quickly with gnawholes).

Also Warplightning Vortex, and Skyre bull**** in general.

probably a Spellcaster so a few Fungoid cave-Shaman and/or Skargrott

if you want to stay with the Squig army you probably want the Loonboss on Mangler squig and then more cave squig herd or Boingrots

otherwise you probably have to get the stabbas and shootas which are always solid

Oh i plan on squigs only, with maybe a hero on foot or a troll to spice it up, but mostly squigs.

Well then just get more Squigs or riders to fill up your battleline requirement and the mangler squig hero since he an amazing monster and a must have for a squig army. 

I still do suggest a fungoid shaman though since he can generate CP and cast hand of Mork to teleport units across the board

Sweet, thank you for the help!

looks decent maybe instead of the Gobbapalooza get rid of all those units (not worth the point anyways), and mork's mighty mushrooms and put in another shaman and maybe 6 rockgut trolls for a "death star" unit

Thanks for the advice

I love the Gobbapalooza, love the models and want to try and keep to a grot army

Maybe add another unit of stabbas and reduce the fanatics in general, have alot of bodies on the board which may benefit from the Gobbapalooza?

Also the spore fanatics will keep them alive from range fire

Also they can run around and sit on objectives if needed

Looks like a solid list

Maybe try and take another shaman to have the hand of gork and also the squig lure spell

If you are running a grot synergy list you need at least one big block of stabbas to put the buffs on. I'd also say with the gobbapalooza skragrott is mandatory as a target for the hero buff.

Sporesplattas really don't have a reason to be in 10s, drop them to 5s and they have exactly the same impact, it's not like you can buff them as they lack keywords. If you want to double up fanatic units do it with loonsmashas instead.

I'd also say 2 wizards would be amazing for you, one with hand of Gork and one with great green spite (alongside a 60 stabba unit)

I just want to say, go with the list you want to. What we are providing is advice not a perfect list, if you want that then atm it's probably Ritchies 3rd place list from BOBO.

Fungoid, fungoids are amazing.

[blubearbare]

Exactly what we’re saying are just advice by all means play fanatics like crazy if that’s the list u want to play. I assume most of us are not here to win super big competitions but to have fun and the chance at winning at the local store 😊

I remember the day when I told the guy who wanted to play as many verminlords as possible in the upcoming tournament, that it probably won’t be easy to win with it.

Well you know the rest of the story, and he later got to right an article about his win.

so basically go crazy, sometimes there might be more to your list than it actually seems like

[MrFarson]

Played a 2000pt squigalanche list last night vs the new Slaanesh. We rolled battle for the pass and I gave my opponent first turn to allow him to move into my charge.

Resounding victory! 

 

Highlights include

30 boingrots mortal wounding a warlord keeper to death before it got to do anything 

A mangler deleting a unit of deamonttes and contortium by itself in one round

The same mangler after being dropped to two wounds piling into a summoned keeper and killing it before it could fight from bite attacks alone

Hand of gorking a unit of stabbas onto the rear objective winning me the game

The same mangler dying and in its death throws killing the last character my opponent had

Does it make sense to run a mixed Trogg and Squig list?

I get the feeling a 50/50 mix is going to lack synergy;  stabbas/shootas tar pits are the more efficient way of filling a Trogg heavy list; and Troggs  would be too slow for a Squig heavy list.

Pretty much. Squig lists can be either Moonclan or pure Squig since the internal synergy is so good.

Troggs really need to be in a Grot+ list, they are slow and lack the cheap wounds/bodies to soak charges or tarpit. If you can get them behind a grot screen though they will mince things.

FAQ is out now, with new points values.  At 200 pts, I may have to take a closer look at the Gobbapalooza

changes

shootas 120 from 130

Dankhold boss 270 from 300

Fungloid stays the same

Manglerboss 280 from 300

Aracknoshaman 280 from 300

Flinger 250 from 270

Warparty 230 from 250

Skitterstrand 240 from 260

Gobblapolooza 200 from 240

Dankhold 200 from 220

Fellwater 150 from 160

Rockgut 140 from 160

Mushroom 90 from 80

Mal moon 40 from 50

caldron 40 from 50

 

[novakai]

Thoughts

Shootas going down 10pt is a good change considering that people have found some use for them

Dankhold going down 30pt amazing, they could be arguably cheaper but it a step in the right direction

Fungoid staying the same means they are probably still a stable for list

both Manglerboss and Araknoshaman going down is awesome, spider shaman was a bit of a surprise since they where pretty solid before hand

Gobblapolooza getting a 40 pt decrease is amazing, I think the battalion is a bit expensive when combine with these guys but this is good incentive to use them

 Rockgut going down to 140 is pretty crazy I must say and now they are actually cheaper the Fellwater. I though with their MW range attack and durability they were comparable to fellwaters. but still they are now a very compelling choice.

all in all very good point changes all around 

Edited July 8, 2019 by novakai

[fwlr]

Have no gloomspite, but you guys sure got one awesome set of decreases. Nearly everything 10-40 cheaper, very nice. What lists do you think may come out of this?
