Skabnoze Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The Arachnarok with just crew (no flinger) has an ability that lets it reroll charges and also cause mortal wounds when it charges. They all now seem like interesting choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekrund Oath Splitters Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The Fellwater Trolls also got a sneaky buff, both attacks have +1 to hit now! Vomit on a 2+, club on a 3+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshin620 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yea I think gitmobs may be a new Dodo. The Grot Shaman they are using is because he's a recent plastic kit so it'd be a waste to throw him away. Mind as well rebrand him as another moonclan shaman.

novakai Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 looking at the Loonshrine, the battleshock immunity wholly within 12'' seems strong. the reinforcement ability seems ok, bringing back units at half strength on a 4 +, it seems pretty balance and can be useful bring 30 grot back when your unit of 60 just got destroyed.

And the photo on the warscroll doesn't match the photo in the store. and literally every other Gitmob unit is gone. A pure spiderfang force is looking pretty terrifying right now. Scuttletide is great space control and has fantastic Mortal Wound output, Arachnacauldron is nice for the expanded utility, The Skitterstand Arachnarok gives you a deep striking monster! while the flinger lets you ****** with your opponents combat activations. Here's something which people might not have spotted but is very important about the Arachnacauldron. It just says pick a unit within 1" so if you were to have it on, I don't know, a shaman on an Arachnarok, then you could throw it into combat and get a free old skool arcane bolt every hero phase. Not to mention it has some nifty uses with regards to letting you make attacks originating from the cauldron rather than the spider, this has horrifying implications against someone who isn't expecting it.

amysrevenge Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Looks like the damage table for Arachnaroks is more favourable. +1 to hit for most categories with the Maw, and Move and Leg attacks diminish slower with damage. I feel like it was just 10 pages ago that I was saying we are living in the best of times, but it's true.

The cauldron is definitely my favourite one so far. It helps us get our 10+ to cast benefits off with the webspinner shaman and the loonking. With this endless spell they become Arkhan/Nagash level of casting potential and unbinding.

amysrevenge Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Bit of lore on the scroll of the solo ambushing Arachnarok: they "burst through temporary Realmgates to snatch up their prey..." That's FUN! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novakai Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 you can see the Warscroll for Mollog and the Rockgut on the battletome store page. Rockguts have a 5+ invulnerable save and a range boulder ability that does d3 mortal wounds if you roll equal or less then the amount of models in a unit Mollog has special ability for his minions and is similar to a dankhold troggoth, though I can't quite read his warscroll on the page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah makes them quite speedy! With the bad moon covering them, a colossal squig will move 5d6 + 3 then charge, hoppers 4d6 + 3 then charge, boingrots and loonboss on giant cave squig 3d6 + 3 then chanrge and the manglers 4d6 + 3 then charge.

The giant cave squig no longer deals d6 damage on a 6 to wound and he doesnt turn 6's to 1's its now just a -1 to hit. But stacking that with look out sir, he is native -2 to hit vs shooting, not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amysrevenge Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yup pretty recently. But if they are making a new scroll anyway, may as well take one more refining pass on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
