Grot Scutlings

[Lucio]

So, Gloomspite Gitz are out and like many fans,  I'm puzzled why the Grot Scutlings weren't bought into the Battle Tome.

 

So with a fair few models around I'm wondering, should I mix them into Stabba and Shoota units to make some cooler looking mixed units, or ask my opponent to let me add the keyword to the card?

Mix them in, use them as netters 😊 That’s my plan, anyway!

For casual play, I would imagine a lot of people would be happy with a unit of stabbas or shootas with the spider fang keyword instead of moonclan, but some people will object in competitive play, due to the different buffs available.

I have a friend who has converted spiderling infantry out of leftover crew from the Arachnarok. He converted netters and he has made fantactics that have webbing balls.

i love the idea of mixing in a few scutlings! 

With the free shrine to all Gloomspite a unit or two of Moonclan even without the spider keyword seems to be a solid idea for sure. They can hold objectives, come back and are fearless near the shrine! I would take the cauldron endless spell and you could hand of gork them to objectives etc late game if it works out

In a fun pickup game if you wanted to add the keyword I’d say sure, but I think they would a little too good without a points increase (if you wanted to do it regularly). Tournaments id say no. I think they will preform just fine without the keyword though

Sounds like a pretty cool idea to me!
