For now i got the following idea: Loonboss on Squig - General- Fight another day - no idea of the artifact. Skragoth (not sure what spell yet) Loonboss Madcap Shaman BL Squig heard ( 12 if 1 BL or 2 teams of 6) 10 Squig Hoppers Others Boingrots x10 Boingrots x 10 Sneaky Snufflers x6 Total 1480 pts ( meta is 1500 over here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaux Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Hey ya Gitz, I am thinking about starting a new AoS army and want some input from experienced Gloomspite players. The whole idea is to take a slow approach and not buy a large amount of models and have them sitting around and be soon after forgotten about. So I just planed the first 500 points and an expansion to 1000 points. Without further ado here is the 500p starting list.

Khamul Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Hello, I am considering making a squig army for fun where every model should both be a squig and have random movement. Is there anyone that has played any lists like that or what would you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest the random movement only does that anyway so no worries there.

First and most obvious is the battalions. You have 3! That's a ridiculous amount but it makes you a 1 drop and means you can reroll all your movement rolls for the bounderz and hoppers. Squig hoppers in 5s so they can rush about and grab objectives, they shouldn't be fighting. Don't forget they you roll a dice for each hopper which passed over a chosen unit with 4+ being a mortal. This works out at about ~10 passive mortals a turn for moving. Mangler and manglerboss for all that ridiculous damage they can do with the manglerboss using a turtle build. SoJ on the boingboss. This is because once per game you can pop the recap mushrooms to rr all hit rolls fishing for those tasty 6s. Betrayers crown is a horde killer and spell mirror because you have the 4th artefact. The army is deceptively quick with your slowest unit moving 2d6+3 with your boingboss CA which fortunately you have an ungodly amount of cps to burn with. This is especially great with the new ghb CA, having both manglers with RR1s to hit and +1 to wound is horrific. More importantly it should be a laugh to play requiring a lot of skill, technical ability and luck to win with. Best part is your opponents face when you say "3 battalions".

Keilerei Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Attending my First tournament. It‘s only 1250 points and no Realm artefacts. What do you think? My First thought is that the vanilla mangler is at this smalish scale overkill (but 2 or soooo much fun) or if the battalion is worth it. I Need more bodies and can swap in more hoppers or Herds. Idk if i should drop the 2nd mangler or the battalion or both in Exchange for model count...

The 60 grots supported by the loonboss and the snufflers are the anvil. Skragrott as general because he is awesome XD Fungoid is useful to be able to gain some extra command points (I dont have batallions) and more spell slots (I want to include green spite and hand of gork without depending on the cauldron) The 2 party spiders sinergize well with hand of gork (they can reroll charles) and, along with the mangler, are the hammer of the army.

Malakithe Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 New Squig based list idea. On the fence about the Stampede but the movement rerolls will probably be good for the Bounderz.

If I was to be playing my squigs in the first place it would be to have fun so not scoring in objectives with big blobs of gobbos wouldn’t bother me. I could run the two or three bigger units to contest with numbers but squigs main flaw is battleshock and sometimes there isn’t a character or command point to make the unit immune. With many units perhaps a few will make it where the skitterleap -2 to hit mangler squigs pull a distraction carnifex. I like the idea of MSU squigs but I figured I would ask the internet what you guys think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's your call. My comment was due to the fungoid being almost always better than the madcap. Only exception would be if the madcap has a madcap artefact as fungoids can't take them. Given that you have 10 points spare the straight upgrade for your second madcap is just good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorthor21 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 It would be a good idea to get one. I have the two madcap right now but I get what u mean it would be an invaluable piece playing mid field with all the rest of the slow stuff.
