Gloomspite Gitz 2000 points squig army

[Leonhart040]

Found that list somewhere and wanted to give it a try. The results: a very fun list to play. A squig army is not only based on alpha strike, it can be very hard to counter, and was still working at turn 3. Mangler squig is a real beast agains hordes, but the real MVP are Boingrot bounderz. Do you want something dead? Send them that way and watch it disappear.

Also, regular squigs act as a dissuasive unit. They seem pretty weak, but once they start doing mortal wounds to an enemy unit, they are treated with more caution.

Give it a try!

I'm not sold about the moonclan stabba of the Loonboss on giant cave squig, 2" are great if you stay at the rear of a unit, but taht 4+ to hit is a bit troublesome (specially if most special rules improve to wound only).

Also, I may change something to add a unit of fanatics, to give the army some surprise factor.

Thoughts?

How does this list perform against Night Haunt?  What are the weaknesses that you have encountered so far?

Drop the Madcap, take Sneaky Snufflers, switch 15 Hoppers to Bounderz, and divide the remaining battleline into three slots and we're getting close to the list I'm thinking about. 2000 pts on the dot.
