How would they be allied to Chorfs? Dont really see any connection there. Am i missing something? Fighting chaos is what greenskins do best, its how the mortal realms survived archaon/ end times right? Grots also have a long history with Skaven, might be a nice segway of an early 4th edition tome for the grots.

Well, we don't know much about new Chorfs. They could be "anything". Why not allow them to be a partner with Gitmob? Just a random idea with 0 base in the current lore.

I see only the Snarlfang riders in the GW online, wasn't there also an underworld kit?

Wasn't there a rumour that the Snarlfang rider set was original intended for TOW?

The previous warband is already out of the catalogue. It has more than 4 years:

I really dislike that they remove the underworld warbands after a while. In the beginning they made them available again without the cards.. Now some are just vanished.

Going from memory, but I think the rumour was that they were made for AOS to prevent them from being used in TOW.

O&G in TOW? Yeah, every wolf rider shot is the old ones they plan to re-release.

Since they classify Snarlfangs as only wolf-like creatures that’ll likely be enough to never let them touch the World-that-Was similar to how the recent Total War statement said they won’t do Tzaangors with beaks as that’s a different breed exclusive to AoS & 40k than old world’s blue goats.

(plus the aesthetics are different with Snarlfangs being much better self-equipped and professional nomads than the old wolf ones who can’t even make saddles or flags since they’re just crude bandit looters compared to AoS’ Grots that descended from Chamon and actually skilled tinkerers)

Nah, they were based off the UnderWorlds one that was made way before TOW was even an idea and just got popular enough as an ally unit for Destruction factions that they saw something good to make into a full unit and fit the Era of Beast army themes.

That rumor is up there with people trying to say Deepkin “must have been a Wfb army for fish men” just because they’re trying to make a reach why they like the faction despite being a Wfb player.

AoS studios were never in communication with the TOW team so Snarlfangs were always made and intended for AoS only:

As an addition, I was in the Age of Sigmar seminar earlier and Ben Johnson confirmed that there isn't any form of formal discussion between the Specialist Games and AoS studios (I'm meaning interdepartmental discussion here, not that they've fallen out with each other).  This is deliberate and as Ben pointed out makes The Old World really exciting for players such as him that have played classic fantasy battle.  What that means is it's no use pestering him (or other people within the AoS studio) for information - they have exactly the same amount of knowledge that we have!”

A Gitz civil war would be sick! 

Gitz are always in a state of continuous civil war untill someone powerfull enougb rises to the top and kind of unites them for however long that lasts. I do like Skragrotts story, hope he stays for a while.

To me Gitmob pair perfectly with the Kruleboyz, both being the counterpart to the "normal" orcs and goblins from fantasy

This is just a random thought i just had. Could Kruleboyz maybe share a tome with Gitmob? I feel like their designs match really well. I could see Spiderfang moved out of Gloomspite Gitz, but not replaced by Gitmob. I feel like Bonesplittetz and Spiderfang would be the best combo. But i know there isnt enough space in the GW schedule to make this all happen. I give Glareface Frazzlegitz the best chance because its been name dropped a lot this edition, hopefully together with Grotbag.

I personally don't agree with the sentiment that Gitmob fit with Kruleboyz stylistically.  When you look at the snarlfang riders all their details evoke a feeling of being well crafted with a lot of care put into them, opposed to Kruleboyz weapons and armor looking like they were shoddily bashed together and using flayed skin for clothing and banners. Honestly Gitmob look the best at crafting weapons and armor from all the greenskins, and if not best then the most caring for aesthetics. Look at their wicker banner or leather armor for their mounts. No other greenskin would have the patience to sit down and make something like that.

Point well made. Cant argue with that :).

Do you all think there is enough space in the Gitz tome to add Gitmob, or do u think it is likely Glareface Frazzlegitz could get its own tome as a 2nd tome with grots?

I know Gloomspite Gitz are popular and GW has a weak spot for that sort of thing. I do think Frazzlegitz are very much different from their Gloomspite cousins to get a separate tome some day.

Another thought could be the renaming of Gloomspite Gitz into a tome including both Gloomspite and Frazzlegitz like Orruk Warclans, but i am not a big fan of this thought XD.

Is not only the crafting/ aesthetic side. It is everything. They are a pure counterpart. Ambush/patience vs Speed and quick attacks. Swap vs Plains. Dark vs Light and sure there's more stuff lore wise that I am not aware of.

Also true.

The same could be said for Gloomspite and Gitmob being in the same tome. The 2 are nothing alike. Gitmob needs to go somewhere or GW needs to find a way to make them fit somewhere. I dont think they went throught the trouble of releasing the amazing Snarlfang Riders unit to not follow up on the theme. The question is just how at this point.

Harlequins and Craftworlds were not related.

Gitmob, being my favourite greenskins, is hard to believe that are gonna have a big release in the near future.

Other point is still thinking that Spider Riders will stay forever and they are not gonna evolve to something more related to Gloomspite. The same as Moonclan Grots that could evolve in a future to other kind of unit.

Gloomspite will have a second revamp more soon than later to finish the unfication of army's theme

Maybe they develop the grot side within Kruleboyz away from the concept of "Fragglegitz" (or whatever it is called, I do not remember), as there are already grotz collaborating with KB... Thus, Snarlfangz could fit either GSG or KB, because they are welcome in any of these factions.

Anyway, we know that the lore can be pushed into any direction to justify any soup that is necessary, so...

PS: I accept that the BoC are being squatted, but if you take the Sloggoth away from my KB now that I'm painting it, I do not know what I am capable to do. 😝
