DestructionFranz Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Survey about the fearsome Gitmob Grots and their shooting weapons. If you think the time has come to see them in action please reply at this post. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelfric Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I have 60 gitmob with bows and 60 with melee. I got as far as rebasing 80 of them before their demise. I would love to see them return and the occasional reference to the Scuttlers keeps the hope alive. Maybe one day, but I'm not dwelling on it. If they do return, I hope the Snotlings return with them - I rebased mine on to 8 50mm rounds. My Ironjawz are the children of my Orcs and Goblins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracovski Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I would love to see the return of the Doom Diver Catapult 😍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icegoat Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I think there is sadly no chance of gitmob returning. At least in the form of classic gitmob. There is probably room for another gobbo faction but classic orcs and goblins are dead. Grotbag scuttlers, grotbag scoopers, grotbag chicken riders. A wacky concept army like gloomspite will be the next goblin army. If there is another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another clue is that there is a Shadespire band with Gitmob Grots Wolf Riders. Are they coming back in 2020? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCraic Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Yeah the Shadespire warband is the main thing that gives me hope. I think there's a chance we'll get a "Savage Tribes" army at some point, and I'd love to see reimagined Gitmob artillery as part of that. New Doom Divers with a step change in design, similar to the Screaming Skull Catapult becoming the Mortek Crawler (or the Black Coach before that). At least, I really hope there's a chance!

Vasshpit Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I do hope so!! I loved the snippet of lore that came with Rippas Snarlfangs about how they view Gorkamorka as the sun compared to their cave dwelling kin and the bad moon. And those models are awesome! I'd imagine them being a little less weedy than Glooms, kinda the Ironjawz equivalent of Grots with a heavy focus on war machines, beasts of war, traps, and raider style hit and run tactics. I could see the much talked about "Grotbag Scuttlers" becoming some kind of spiritual successor though. Seems to be the design direction of AoS. Put some Grots on some beastlly feral bat or vulture creatures for air calvary and throw in some ramshackle sky vessels for good measure. That Rippas warband has got some really cool aesthetics going on fo sho though! Edited June 24, 2020 by Vasshpit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I’d be all-in on a faction of nomadic raider grots riding wolves and other such beasts with their artillery in tow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganigumo Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 11 hours ago, Nezzhil said: Gitmob returns in the GHB20 Praise the Sun! My bet on gitmob returning would be on another goblin book with gitmob as a subfaction. Gloomspite was all about subterranean and nocturnal goblins (with spiderfang). I imagine we'd get a goblin book featuring both Gitmob (worshipping the sun of Hysh) and Grotback scuttlers, then possibly a "Little Waaagh!" allegiance as well. It would be a bit similar to lumineth, with one half the book capturing nostalgia with gitmob, and the other half being something new.

Yes it is, although I’m wondering why they have kept Greenskinz as an Allie choice for gloomspite gitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dankboss Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Realistically, there's no reason why I would ever tell someone legends units aren't allowed. They have points, and they're almost all mediocre in some way. It feels a bit arbitrary even, to say well they have points but they're also not allowed in matched play... As it stands, 60 gitmob grots are actually pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floom Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It's weird that they returned: it felt like a very deliberate exclusion in the last GHB given an FAQ removed some legacy Gitmob stuff like the Gitboss. If it was just a mistake, it's weird that they ran with it instead of correcting it. I really hoped they were just removed to avoid an FAQ for conflicting unit names: Gitmob Grots -> Wolf Riders and Grotbag Sunclans -> Wolf Riders, or something. Shame, but I think a Gitmob expansion is bound to happen eventually, just maybe restricted to a Gloomspite subfaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestructionFranz Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Now, with return of official points, I will play Gitmob Grots archers, Spearmen and the spear chukka in my mixed Destruction army. I'm happy like a kid in front of an ice cream shop 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestructionFranz Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 and I would be even happier if some Gitmob models were put on sale even for a short time on the GW website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliman Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Not sure if it's related to Gitmob Grots, but I want to see the Doom Diver Catapult updated to 11... or better, a full army!!! I just want Grotbag Skuttlers... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
