Otter in Water

Also first time here, but I want to paint the whole kill team set of Elucidian Starstriders. Here's the first guy I started a couple of days ago.

Great advice for me to mull over. I'll get the base of my army done, and then will have to cross the bridge of deciding which big unit to go for. Perhaps, I could just lean into the stabbas and choose to not go for any squigs at all. The list would possibly look something like this: Skragrott as general Fungoid Loonboss 60x Stabbas 60x Stabbas 6x Squig herd (for battleline) Gobbapalooza + Gobbapalooza battalion 5x Fanatics 5x Fanatics 6x Snufflers 1x Scuttletide 1x Scapskuttle Cauldron (To make Skragrott a master caster or make one of gobbapalooza a good caster) 1x Malevolent Moon (Damage and Anti Magic) (this still leaves 80 points for either another loonboss, another unit of snufflers, or a madcap) Regarding the Jaws of Mork, for some reason I thought you either choose a Moonclan Allegiance or the Jaws of Mork Allegiance - silly me. Thanks for clearing that up. Why is it however, that you don't get to use the command trait? Wouldn't he still provide the ability re-roll battleshock for units that share the Jaws of Mork keyword within 12 inches? I was looking at the results of the Vicotrian Grand Tournament which featured three Gloomspite Lists in total, and noticed that one of them featured as a "hammer" a Big Drogg Fort Kicka. Possibly also something to consider?

Thanks so much for the advice. I'll definitely bump the boingrot bounders to 10 - you're right that running five doesn't make that much sense. Thanks also for the advice on cauldron and geminids - once I get more familiarised with the rules I'll see what I end up running - also, thankfully these are things on the list I can swap around and play test (when I get there!) It's also really useful to know about the lack of hammer, I was hoping this role could be fulfilled by the unit of 10 boingrot bounders, but perhaps these don't carry enough oompf. I also really love the look of the mangler squid, so maybe I'll just try to make some room for that. Are there any other hammers that I could use? For instance, would either of the trolls work in this role or are they too slow and too low morale? And yes, that makes a lot of sense to up Skragrotts shooting power! Having those re-rolls on hits makes his wand very reliable, and perhaps I can target enemy buffers. One question regarding the Jaws of Mork rules, doesn't taking Skragrott as my general (from the moonclan) prevent me from doing that?

Thank you so much for the answer - I really appreciate it. The main reason why I want to put Gobbapalooza into my list is because I'm in love with the models, and the idea of a unit of casters in a magic-focused list. It will be a while until I paint all the way to 2000 points (at the moment I'm at my first 2 squads of stabbas), so I do have time to see how I could make it work. From reading through other guides and talking to some other Gitz players, as well as gathering inspiration from their lists, I'll try to make the following work - grateful for your thoughts if you have any. Also, I've read that Brewgit supposedly works really well with Skragrott, although I can't yet for the life of me figure out why... ++ **Pitched Battle** 2,000 (Destruction - Gloomspite Gitz) [1,990pts] ++ + Leader + Fungoid Cave-Shaman [90pts] Loonboss [70pts] Skragrott, the Loonking [220pts]: General - Moonclan Wizard + Battleline + Squig Herd [140pts]: 2x 5 Squigs & Squig Herder Stabbas [260pts]: 2x 20 Stabbas, 2x Bad Moon Icon, Gong Basher, Stabba, 2x x3 Barbed Net Stabbas [360pts]: 3x 20 Stabbas, 2x Bad Moon Icon, Gong Basher, Moon Clan Flag, Stabba, 3x x3 Barbed Net + Other + Boingrot Bounders [100pts]: 5 Boingrot Bounderz Loonsmasha Fanatics [140pts]: 5 Loonsmasha Fanatics Loonsmasha Fanatics [140pts]: 5 Loonsmasha Fanatics Sneaky Snufflers [70pts]: 6 Sneaky Snufflers + Battalion + Battalion: Gobbapalooza [290pts]: Gobbapalooza + Allegiance + Allegiance .

Hey guys, Looking to build a Gloomspite Gitz army focused on magic and the moonclan, including Gobbapalooza, Skragrott, and Zarbags Gitz. I would also like to include Boingrot Bounderzs, a Squid Herd and Snufflers. As I'm pretty new to AoS, would this core still work? Do you guys have any pointers for lists that I can look to for inspiration? Are magic-focused GG still viable on a semi-competitive level? Thank you in advance! Edit: I've just realised that I posted twice, after erroneously thinking my first post hadn't gone through. Please ignore and forgive!

Hello people, I'm starting my AoS journey with Gloomspite Gitz and would like to go Moonclan with Skragrott as my General focusing on magic. Is a magic focused army still viable? Or is it just squid-focused armies at the moment? As I'm fairly new to the game, I would love some pointers on the core of my army, and preferably their viability and how to build these out further. I would like to design my army around the following core units: 1x Skragrott 1x Loonboss 1x Zarbags Gitz 1x Gobbapalooza A battleline of stabbas and one shoota (2x stabba units and 1x shoota) 1x Sneaky snufflers 1x Boingrot Bounderz Would these units fit together nicely in my core? I'm going mainly by aesthetics and I like the idea of being focused on magic. Thanks in advance!
