-20 dankhold.
Max 3 endless spells in 2k.
Looking like GSG aren't getting any better in this GHB.
We don't know the complete list. Only Skragrott, Dankhold Trogboss and Webspinner on Arachnarok are very expensive heroes, the others are fine.
Our real problem are the battalions, Gobbapalooza, fanatics, spider riders, troggoths, Hoppers and dankhold.
I'm disappointed that Skragrott don't go down to 200 points...

CoS and all the armies that were released after won't receive any point update in the booklet. If you see any poinst changes of Bonereapers or Orruks, for example, they are fake.

Squigs are a very weak glass cannon, that have a lot of problems versus armies more powerful or capable to stop them. Although, if you do anything you want, you can win weak armies with squigs or annihilate him in a few turns...
In competitive, the Moonclan can do a 3-2 or 2-3 very easy, but the Squigs only can win other armies that are "for fun" too or if you are playing versus a newcomer player.

I don't understand the artefact being in the Realm of Battle rules.
Are you going to pick artefacts/traits after the Realm of Battle roll? Because that could mean that we could swap artefacts between games (a bit crazy btw...)!!
No. Read the text above the box.
The artifact that you could pick is the artifact from the Realm. The other rules are only for the realm where you are playing. -
Bye bye... artifacts and spells.... Bye bye, Aqshy Scales... Eternal Amulet, Doppelganger Cloak....

Sorry for the Chaos players, but 2019 was a big year for the Chaos Faction. Chaos can wait one or two years been a minor faction before the rest of the factions receives the same love from Workshop. More Chaos things will be becoming a "Space Marine love" that makes 40k so boring for a lot of us.

I hope AoS 3.0 will be centered in Ulgu with a new army for each faction:
Malerion aelves (Order)
Shadow creatures (Chaos)
Vampires - Legion of Mannfred
Fimir

This weeks Pre order everyone sort of saw coming, they had to drop the last PA before 9th Edition, though I do think this means we may see nothing for AOS untill after 9th, unless they drop a Warband for Warcry or Beastgrave the week before.
The next week is the last week before 9th. I hope we will see Beastgrave, Warcry and the GHB20. It's our last hope before August.

Ignoring battleline requirements, and ignoring more wounds for soaking mortals, and ignoring that to reroll the Boingrots charge I'm going to need a hero. (Ok, maybe all this combined is exactly why to take the Herd!)
I would have thought 15 Boingrots for 300pts would give me more damage and similar staying power to 24 Herd for 280 points?
The problem with the Boingrots is they are not useful to capture objectives because the size of their base is bigger and the Boingrot movement is random and very slow. Boingrot are essentially a heavy cavalry very slow with a very low possibility to move fast. The squig herd have a smaller base, can re-roll run and charge... So... both units aren't bad units, each one do a different job and if you want to win games, you need multiple units with multiple roles.

Necromunda roadmap was delayed. It's very sad for the Necromunda fans but this will make more possible the release of the GHB20.

Hi, a 'tactics' question here.
Loonboss on giant cave squig can take either a moonclan stabbed or a moon cutta. They have effectively the same profile (just mirrored hit and wound rolls) but the stabbed as 2" range. Why would I ever choose the mooncutta?
Am I missing something?
Well, it's more common to find negative modifiers to the impact roll, and statistically is better to 5 attacks 4 + / 4 + than a 5 + / 3 + ... and of course with the the Loonboss on Manglers Command Ability is better to roll to 3 + / 3 + than to 4 + / 2 +.
Both are statistically equal, but when you add negative or positive modifiers statistically change a lot and the moon cutta is a bit better.
The same happens with the Moonclan Grots, the pokin spears looks awful because only adding 5 or 6 attacks statistically is worse than a +1 to hit, but when you add 10 or 15 attacks the spears change a little.

Thanks @Nezzhil!
This does make me a bit sad but I totally get where you are coming from.
I like the movement on the hoppers but their lack of save, very low bravery and 5+/5+ in combat just doesn't justify them for me when you get Boingrots for 10 points more.
It's also a shame you don't get a small points drop for running a max size unit of herders. This could really fill a gap bodies wise and they are a decent call for a battleline unit.
I'l continue to play with the list. I may drop one of the Manglers for 10 more boingrots. Re-rolling their movement from the battalion and +3" move, run + charge is at least somewhat reliable.
Sorry if I was a bit rude.
Gloomspite needs a lot of improvements, we have very good warscrolls but AoS 2.0 is not AoS 1.0, and the faction rules and combos are the key that difference a fine army to a very good army.
Our points are very high if we compare with other armies, our combos are very complex and needs a lot of contraptions to make them good.
And finally, our faction rules are poor, very restrictive and they aren't very impressive to the Lore they represent.

Sorry, but any Squigalanche, isn't a competitive list for do a 3-2 in any big tournament. A good record with this type of list is a 2-3, and this is because after losing a few games you're gonna play with others lists that they aren't competitive too.
The list have this problems:
- Too many Manglers. They're fine, but they aren't Maw-Krushas or Terrorgheists.- Boingrot are very slow, they can't do the job of fast cavalry.
- You have very few models and the save rolls are awful, and it's easy you lost half of your army versus Kharadron, Seraphon or Cities of Sigmar. You are going to have too many problems to capture objectives.
- Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig are mediocre support heroes. After you charge with your units his job is finished and he's going to die or move around the map without doing anything
If you want to improve the list, stop trying to play the Squigalanche, remove some Manglers, add other things like a Webspinner Shaman on Arachnarok, Sneaky Snufflers, Stabba+loonboss, Rockgut Troggoths... Try to make a mixed army and try to play around the objectives.
Squigalanche is one of the worse glass cannon actually, Idoneth, Khaine, Tzeentch, Seraphon are going to crush your army so easily, and you aren't enough strong to beat Bonereapers, Orruks or Chaos Ascendant.
Here you have a good review, I think is the best review of the Gloomspite Gitz army in youtube.
I'm not 100% agree with all the things he says or the competitive lists he show us, but it's a goof point to start.

Bonegrinder Gargant was removed from the Gloomspite Gitz subsection... Cheers, a new unit for the Sons.

We also need to factor the final 40K PA book, Pariah, into the schedule. Given it features Necrons and the new 40k launch set has Necrons and lore related to the Parish Nexus this could be simultaneous with 9th edition launch.
The week with the last PA book will be a good week to launch the GH20... but with the experience of the last two or three "next weeks", I think that the last PA will be another alone pre-order and it is gonna break my expects...

The picture is from the 8th edition Wood Elves book. English edition page 47 Wild Riders. But I agree that the mount resembles the stag of the Glade Lord and not the deers from the Wild Riders.
Im not really tempted by the box. What else could we expect next week? Mage and archers perhaps?I think the next week they will launch all the army. Lumineth are very few boxes. But with rhythm of launching the GH is going to be delayed more...

Two week launchment... the GH hope is disappearing...

Oh yes sorry I forgot I believe a shipping note of the new handbook was found, is that correct everyone? My mind's a little hazy.
Yeah, the shipping note was leaked as always... this is the motive we expected the GH the past week...

Is it the bad moon that also told you so ?
Something going on with Gordrakk laying siege to Excelsis (not Azyr) is absolutely confirmed in the fluff. The way GW works, aka dropping hints to build toward advancing the narrative arc, means that there will be a book or a supplement about this event, the same way Lumineth or Wrath of the Everchosen were teased before release.
The rumor of DoK vs Slaanesh Mortals, that is yet unconfirmed. But between rumor engines and existing release patterns (like GW updating old, AOS1-era Battletomes), it's quite likely will see something for DoK at least soon (not counting the already revealed Beastgrave and Warcry warbands).
Da Bad Moon only speaks with the real rulerz... 😔
If the next week they announce Pariah and another Specialist Game release content... I think all about AoS was delayed after the 40k hype train will vanishes. 🙄

Are there any Books/Tomes in the work that have not been officially announced (outside DoK and GHB20)?
A new DoK book is not announced and we don't know if it is in development. The same happens with the rumours without any weight of the Slaanesh mortals or the Campaign book of the Siege of Azyr.
The only books are Lumineth and Sons of Behemat. We can hope we will see the GH20 soon, but with the covid-19 and the launchment of W40k new edition is very possible that it is the only AoS releases we are gonna see this year. -
I know a lot of people is waiting for the Lumineth, but the release of the next GH is necessary, a lot of armies needs to be fixed and others needs to be updated like they do before. Battleplans, Realms and artifacts rules... We need new content that is only possible with a GH.
