Hopefully something that puts squig herds to good use, If it lets squigs use the loonshrine I'll finally have an excuse to paint that thing up.

velveetagamerfuel Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Currently building a squig list. Does a squig build actually want squig herds or hoppers as battleline or do you just want stabbas/shootas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Eye Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Having just built some Rockgut Troggoths (wonderful minis FWIW, insanely customizable yet still coherent-looking) I'm pondering what colours to paint them. My gitz are from Ulgu, and the average grot wears orange robes, so I want something that contrasts with that whilst not actually clashing. I'm tempted to go for a sort of beetroot-purple for the skin, getting darker on the rocky scales and transitioning to a dull beige for the bellies, maybe with a much brighter orangey-amber for the crystal details?

I think a bluish dark grey with accents of orange on the weapons would work. I think the battletome has an example of a dark tone Rockgut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhetoric Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi everyone, at the end of a project and looking into my next - 1000 points of Gitz! here’s the list I’m looking to build. Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig Fungoid Cave Shaman 10 Boingrot Bounderz 10 Boingrot Bounderz 10 Boingrot Bounderz 6 Sneaky Snufflers 20 Stabbas that makes 1000 points on the dot. I really like the models of the Bounderz, but I could see a big unit of Hoppers being useful as well. I have Looncurse, and some old Battle for Skulls pass Stabbas. The only thing I would need to make this list is two boxes of the Gitz Warcry warband. im not looking to be super competitive, this will be a fun list to play at 1k when not playing IDK, which has been extremely effective in my community, so I just Want to have some fun with the Gitz.

Ganigumo Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/08/04/white-dwarf-preview-issue-455/ It seems the Jaws of Mork is actually a new squig allegiance, not just a couple battalions.

Okonomiyakimarine Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Building on that list attempt: what does everyone think about a Mangler-less Squig&Grots list? Or Squig&Grots in general? I feel that with a blob of 60 Grots the Boss on Mangler sure is a nice hammer to hit the opponent once stopped by the Grots-anvil, but I wonder if there is a place for Mangler-less lists? Does a standard exist for Squigs&Grots?

Incineroar87 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 For standard grotspam, after choosing loonbosses, various grot wizards, stabbas, snuffers and fanatics, are we better off with a some rockgut/ fellwater trolls in the final slots, or are boingrots or something more killy like mangler squigs/ dankhold better ? What stuff best synergizes with all the grots ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tittliewinks22 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Is the webspinner shaman on A. Spider worth taking if you have no other spiderfang models in the list? Recently picked up the model, not sure which loadout I want to build it with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently picked up the model, not sure which loadout I want to build it with. Yeah!, a Webspinner on A.Spider with the spell Sneaky Distraction is one of the best wizards in the army. Also, the Scuttletide with a +2 to cast is very hard to unbind. A very hard combo is a list with a Webspinner and Skragrott as wizards of the army.

Dankboss Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I can only hope that with the next GHB, they'll acknowledge WD publications. I know people have complained about it. It's completely illogical to create something with a one year lifespan, that is otherwise legal for matched play. I recall Warhammer Weekly discussing just having an archive on the website for these rules. Space Marine codices last longer than these...

Nezzhil Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Well, it's one complete year with new rules... I think it's fine if it is your main army as Gloomspite are for me. The battalion is very good if the other rules make the Squigalanche a better glass cannon, if the other rules are fine the battalion is trash. The problem with the squigs are the low damage ratio they make, so when you play them you usually lose because you can't kill your enemies and then your units die with low tier units because the squigs are so fragile.

Dankboss Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yeah, Squigs are great but not when it's all Squigs. They lack the glass cannon support that Slaanesh gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the subfaction permits to include grots or troggoths, we can have a very good mixed army... We need to be cunnin' lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it'll depend on cost Its the same composition as the squig rider stampede, which puts it in direct competition. I feel like this could be better for hoppers since they might be fast enough without the rerolls on their move. Also despite the Loonboss on great cave squig not being a part of the battalion, the attack profile for his squig is listed as one of the attacks that gets buffed.

Dankboss Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 This is technically a whole other allegiance; so Gloomspite Gitz rules/ battalions aren't in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also despite the Loonboss on great cave squig not being a part of the battalion, the attack profile for his squig is listed as one of the attacks that gets buffed. Its attack profile might be listed, but the rule clearly says "used by units from this battalion", so, nope… Only units listed may be effected by the rule and only units run within this battalion ('drop') get the bonus. I think one could probably run it in parallel with boingrot bounders in the squid rider stampede and the squid hoppers in the moon jumper stampede as an alternative to the squigalanche super-battalion – all depending on costs obviously. We won't get that one drop army anyway. What would likely be more effective is a more divers list, where you hand of gork your now heavier hitting squigs forward and have smaller hopper units being more effective, if they meet a unit they really want to charge.

Aeryenn Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Why do you say all WD warscrolls and battalions are only legal to the next GHB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasshpit Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 @Aeryenn I think its in reference to some sweet battalions featured fron white dwarf (Dolorous Guard for Nighthaunt was awesome!) and with the latest GHB basically stateing that WD battalions are non matched play legal and suggests getting opponent permission to use them first. Its kind of a silly move on GWs I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
