I expected preorders no sooner then the 12th, at the very earliest. Jan 5th open day for general showcasing/ first good look at the book. Not complaining if true! Just a big shock considering the white dwarf spoilers hadn't mentioned them. Gotta get my grots and fungoid painted asap to clear the work table for the first batch!

Turragor Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 V excited to do some destruction now. Am I a bit foolish to hope (seeing I am starting from scratch) to see a few "elite" options for army lists? A blob of 30 or so night goblins with some fanatics, squigs adn then LOTS of trolls could be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayple Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) From what I can gather from it's rules, the Loonsmasha Fanatic (I assume this goes for the Sporesplatta too) can deploy at the start of the charge phase, as they currently can, but with the change that they now can't deploy within 3" of an enemy unit. No more deploying them into combat, or auto-mess with the charges of a unit 3" away from the host unit Edited December 26, 2018 by Mayple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ungface Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 It would be great to see the armored grots made into a tougher battleline unit. The current standard night gobbos will look quite outdated once the bad moon blesses us with his presence once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squigs and fanatics are your go-to elite options as far as "Less models for more points" goes The Troggoths will also fall within this, on the far end of the "Expensive, low model count" spectrum, without a doubt. I wonder if we'll get a variation of the Mangler Squig w/hero that involves a non-hero rider, the same way that Beastclaw Raiders does it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skabnoze Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 3 hours ago, novakai said: I hope they change the charge rule for Gargants, but since they didn't do it for BoC I doubt they do it for destruction. I play Giants a fair bit, and the rule is not as bad as it seems. Mathematically, you don't fail as many charges due to the rule as it seems. It is less than a 10% chance for most charges when you remove the double values that wound not net you enough distance anyways. Sure, it does happen at times and it can suck, but I find that the Giant punches above his weight class most of the time. I think the charge fail is generally one of those things that is an easily remembered outlier and so they sometimes feel very common even though they are not. We tend to remember significant positive and negative events such as that. But without seeing the book, I am not sure how often I would take a Giant in the context of this army unless there is some sort of new giant themed specifically for this force. With the option to take Colossal Squigs, Mangler Squigs, Arachnarok Spiders, Troll Hags, Rogue Idols, Bonegrinder Gargants, and probably some sort of new behemoth kit they have not yet shown, I feel spoiled enough for themed monster choices that I would probably leave standard Gargants to some other army such as Greenskins or Bonesplitterz. That said, I still wish I could field an entire army of Giants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ok with that. As long as they keep the Grot Hero with pet Giant Squig as some sort of existing unit option I am happy. I absolutely love Skarsnik as a character, but I am ok with the direction they are going with his new character replacement: The Loon King.

Which means you will he needing spears now! And I just bought 40 shadespire bases for my Gobbos How did you get the Shadespire bases? A reseller? I have a method for making cavern bases, but I would buy some of those for more variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skabnoze Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 1 hour ago, Antonio Rodrigues said: One thing I found amusing is the fact that the squigs and the squig riders are separate kits... The squigs are different on the pics... I noticed that as well. I was scanning both units to see if they had made them a combined kit. I would have figured they would do that, but I guess not. No matter. I will happily purchase stupid amounts of both of them. I already have about 80-100 of cave squigs & hoppers - but I don't own 300 and that seems like a problem that I should now remedy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we just have to wait forever for more details 😭😂 You can see from the pictures that it appears the face glues onto the body - which means they are probably fairly interchangeable and would give a fair amount of variety. They look like they assemble similar to how Pink Horrors do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the same model for my Rogue Idol, it's a bit short and definitely won't get accepted at Warhammer World as it's from another company, no matter how many bits you stick on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaJeel Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) I see a bunch of goodies thats a big grot behind them tiny squigs with maybe vacum mouths? and that looks like a tendrill coming outa the grot .... no idea on the left maybe the same as the second image, on the right, maybe a unique hero? it looks like a mushroom with maybe 2 grots on its head Edited December 26, 2018 by SaJeel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true then I am very impressed that they managed to keep the lid on pictures of the models as well as they did for this release. We had rumors that Moonclan/Grots were coming for quite a long time now, but for a release as large as this appears to be it is impressive that none of the models leaked.

He looks big given the camera angle, but he is roughly the same size as the rest of the unit and his model is probably in base contact with the one in front of him. The rest of those pictures do appear to have a variety of new stuff they have not yet previewed blurred in the background though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solosam47 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 @Malakree Oh my! That’s how it’s done! I have a few themes for mine, one was going to be swamp themed moonclan, maybe a hobgoblin theme, or another would be a dune/SW Native American theme. With the new models though it’s gonna be tough to choose lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
