That means that we can take him in lists without worrying about ally points. And that means that we are no longer restricted to just a single one. Move over 4 Troll Hag army - here comes the 4 Bonegrinder Gargant army!!! I just might have to do this... So, 4 Bonegrinder Gargants comes to 1600 points. If we use a moonclan general then we can take squigs as battleline so that is 180 for 3 min units. That leaves 220 for whichever general you want and something else. That is amazing... 4 Bonegrinders lol wtf man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An even bigger giant - thats what! I have to say that I don't care for the Forgeworld model though. I would probably end up getting a couple 3rd party models and also converting some. I had been trying to decide if I should buy one of the ones I like or start on the conversion ideas that I have been thinking of. Maybe I should just do all of the above!

No. Fanatics are a separate unit entirely. They hide in a unit for deployment purposes, but they are still functionally a separate unit. In addition, they do not have the grots keyword necessary to receive the Stab Em Good buff. That said, the fanatics don’t really need that buff anyways. They hit like a sack of bricks to the face without any buffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiftmus Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Kitbashed a Madcap Shaman, I'm really happy with how it came out. Planning on painting a magical energy type effect on some of the scenery, including the snotling's back. The snotling was just trying to take a nap under some mushrooms and is now running for its life to avoid being turned into magical fuel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After studying the book I find that the real star of Gloomspite Gitz is the Loonsmasha Fanatics. Taking 15 at 420 points might seem crazy. But at a 1000 point games it's extremely deadly.

I do not know the meta for 1000 points games but anyone bring any big chunk of elite unit gonna be deleted by your Fanatics. Evocators or Tzaangor Enlightened?? No more worries. Most sane and knowledgeable players will not let you go first, knowing that you wanna Hand of Gork your Fanatics bomb. They will wanna kill your 4 wound Grot Shaman asap, but you will not let them by preventing line of sight. So they must play guess-kill to delete the unit you hide the 15 Fanatics but sadly they can never find them in the Stabbas Grots. I believe there are lists out there that can take out one of 20 Stabbas in turn one just by shooting. Against someone with a strong shooting list just hide those Fanatics in the Sneaky Snufflers, they will never see it coming before it is too late. Fanatics with a +2" to charge over a 6" distance is 75%. If you can get a hero near enough for a reroll charge, it will be 88% of charging.. By keeping the shaman close to the Stabbas, they will be durable enough to hold their own, especially with the netters, the Mommet and the Night Shroud spell. If you can get the Germinids to hit also, you can potentially do -3 to hit for any melee lockdown.. In 2000 points game? I think it is really ridiculously effective and good. 15 D6 attacks is average 40-50 attacks. So far the best I ever rolled was 69 attacks. It is a ridiculous amount of damage with that rend -2 and D3 damage, I was easily doing 20-30 wounds. Plus even if the enemy survive that you will get to pick to have a unit to combat first. After that I even got the 7 surviving Fanatics to charge another unit! Well just my review of the new rules for Fanatics. Absolutely love them.

RaritanAnon Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 So I've got together a pretty decent idea for the rest of my army. Squigalanche. It looks fun as hell, perhaps not 100% competitive though. What do you think? I've been told that Hoppers are a mistake and I should do all Bounderz, but that's no fun to spam the same unit over and over.

Skragrott is a great caster and you want the moment but I cannot see the list doing enough damage. Personally I'd drop the skrap and vortex then drop a unit of sporesplattas and increase the loonsmasha unit to 10. Dropping a loonboss for 6 sneaky snufflers means more punch over all and simply putting 60 immune to battleshock grots in front of your opponents army stopping them moving far could be game winning, especially when 10 loon smashas destroy a key unit as well.

RaritanAnon Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 So something I've noticed that might be of importance. A Loonboss on Mangler with 'Fight another Day' can make a move of 2d6 right after his attacks have been done and must move more than 3" away from any other unit. The battalion, Squigalanche, says that a unit under the Bad Moon is eligible to fight if within 6", instead of 3", and adds 3" to his pile in. So if a Mangler boss moves 4" away from a unit using his FAD move, he's still technically in combat with that unit, even if he can't make his attacks, since FAD doesn't mention anything about combat specifically. Using this, can he lock down another unit into combat just by standing there menacingly? Since unless they have more than a 3" pile in, they can't engage him, but they have to pile in anyway, since they're in combat technically.

PlasticCraic Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I don't think "In combat" is actually a thing in the rules though? It's just something we talk about as players. The rules (Page 5) refer to a unit being "eligible to fight if it is within 3" of an enemy unit, or if it made a charge move in the same turn". Not that they are "in combat". So if they are not within 3" (or don't have a special rule that supercedes that), they are not eligible to be selected. The Batallion rules gives a special exception to the Mangler, but it wouldn't affect your opponent's unit in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfernalStone Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) May belong in painting, but figured someone specifically in this channel may already have an answer. Anyone come across a good speed painting process for that lighter color, some what washed out skin that the night goblins have? Last time I did green skin was green wash over yellow base, which looked great for that bold 40k Ork skin, but not so much for these guys. Someone posted one way back, but searching on mobile on a nearly 90 page thread? Blarg. Edited February 5, 2019 by InfernalStone Added thought.
