Since you are so low drops would you want to choose to go first or to go second?

What is the most competitive squig list

Looking nice man. It's almost a copy of the kings lists but you went with bounderz too.

I reckon if you wanna try to play pure spiders then the decision is an easy one. I don't own trolls so cant say much but their stats look amazing. And i think they wpuld look cool in a spider army! Stabbas are always a good option What is your list btw?

Big game tomorrow, going to use this list which is similar to our most competitive lists out there. Allegiance: Gloomspite GitzMortal Realm: GhurLeadersSkragrott, The Loonking (220)- General- Lore of the Moonclans: The Hand of GorkFungoid Cave-Shaman (90)- Lore of the Moonclans: The Great Green SpiteWebspinner Shaman on Arachnarok Spider (280)- Artefact: Gryph-feather Charm - Lore of the Spiderfangs: Sneaky DistractionBattleline60 x Stabbas (360)- Pokin Spears & Moon Shields40 x Stabbas (260)- Pokin Spears & Moon Shields40 x Stabbas (260)- Pokin Spears & Moon ShieldsUnits5 x Sporesplatta Fanatics (120)10 x Loonsmasha Fanatics (280)Endless Spells / TerrainQuicksilver Swords (30)Scuttletide (30)Geminids of Uhl-Gysh (60)Total: 1990 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 179

Here is the list I would ruble for the superbattalion: Allegiance: Gloomspite GitzMortal Realm: GhurLeadersScuttleboss on Gigantic Spider (100)- General- Trait: Monstrous Mount - Artefact: Totem of the Spider God Webspinner Shaman on Arachnarok Spider(280)- Artefact: Gryph-feather Charm - Lore of the Spiderfangs: Sneaky DistractionWebspinner Shaman (80)- Artefact: Headdress of Many Eyes - Lore of the Spiderfangs: Gift of da Spider GodBattleline10 x Spider Riders (200)10 x Spider Riders (200)10 x Spider Riders (200)5 x Spider Riders (100)BehemothsArachnarok Spider with Flinger (250)Arachnarok Spider with Flinger (250)BattalionsArachnarok Spider Cluster (100)Spiderfang Stalk (110)Spider Rider Skittermob (120)Total: 1990 / 2000Extra Command Points: 3Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 122 You could swap out the webspinner and add the mushroom for 2000 points if you'd prefer.

Thanks man. I reckon that running 5 is not ideal because you lose the banner and drummer. And youbwint be able to get the a-rok webspinner spell into multiple 5 man spider units usually. Running 10 you get the drummer and banner. And you can get almost all 10 in most fights. Having more than 10, it's so hard to get them all into 1 inch range. Running 30 does five you the horde discount and I guess serves a different purpose to the 10 man unit. And you could possibly always have them buffed by a-rok shaman. The superbattalion is not worth all of the 3 battalion points it offers. And I have 4 artefacts that but 2 or 3 heros at best.

@PlasticCraic I agree. I'll drop the mangler and add stabbas. I think you should give the flingers a chance. My reason is that they are better than the other variants (apart from the webspinner a-rok obviously). They are better because they do the same damage as the warparty variant plus they make the enemy units attack last. They are anti horde as they have a 50% chance each to make horde units attack last (not to mention the battalion benefit of re-rolling 1s). Thats similar to our very popular spell itchy nuisance which has a natural 55% chance of coming off before any unbinding attempts (so less than 55% effectively) The carnage and tactical plays that can be made by making 2 enemy horde units attack last is one of the most valuable traits in the entire game. I believe it is one thing that everyone on these forums have undervalued or missed. Think of them as webspinner shamans each with itchy nuisance as their spell which cannot be unbinded with a casting value of 6. Let me know if I've somewhat convinced you to reconsider them? Cheers mate.

Thoughts on this list im running on friday night? Unconventional to most previous lists here but a lot of good combinations on the warscrolls for units and battalions.

hey @froo would you be so kind to share a link to the tokens that you print off? I have just ordered some tokens and a hole puncher and love the simplicity of your tokens. I am also a spiderfang player - would love to know your current list / how did your list with 2 webspinners on a-roks and the warparty go?

best competitive 2.5k army?

What's our most competitive list? C'mon guys get active in the forum!

@PlasticCraic How would you use the scuttleboss as an alpha strike exactly? I like to know how people deploy, plan moves ahead etc..

Has anyone else noticed that in the base sizes listings the cauldron is supposed to be on a 60mm circular base?

Nice!! Fixed meaning that it'll be the same as the book version?

Your totem of spider god on scuttleboss in interesting. You might lose it quicker than if you had it on an A-rok.

Would someone explain the reasoning behind taking the shaman on foot? I don't see his spell being useful- I might be missing something about him

It is not "basically" a third party app. It is the official app!

Well it makes a huge bloody difference. 1 want to run 3 webspinner shamans which would have them basically casting and unbinding with a very very high of of success.

I reckon running 3 webspinner shamans on spiders is amazing! But what 3 spells would you take?

Can a spider fang unit retreat but then run and charge if the spell is casted on them? Like the spell says they can charge after running but the wording of retreating in the core rules states you can't charge after.

@Newtype_Zero do you mean that if i had 3 spiderfang units wholly within that it would affects all 3 and the bearer too?

Total of the spider god: While a friendly spiderfang unit is wholly within 12" of the bearer, it's spider venom ability causes mortal won we on an unmodified hit roll of 5+ instead of 6. Does this mean that only one single unit can be affected and not multiple within 12"? Does this also mean that the hero with the artefact can use it on themself (is there a FAQ stating models are wholly within themselves?) THnaks in advance

If in have 3 units and can place 1 as a reserve to be We Played later in the game, is the army a 2ndrop or 3 drop army?
