Ok, yeah this is a pretty good sum up.

I’m a big fan of the variant with spear gobbos on the back as ya save some points and it’s gonna be in the thick of it so you are not out a hero when it dies

Both are battleline so you can mix and match as long as your general is on a giant spider. i am running a list soon with 2x 10 spiders and 1x 60 stabbas for example.

I feel most lists benefit from at least 2 casters. Another shaman would give you some more utility and is cheap as chips. After that I’d do a boss on Squig and another set of Squig riders (think that should fit, don’t have my book on hand) this is just for more consistency of command abilities and objective scoring. If you are worried about drops then I’d just up Squig units like you said and still add at least the boss on Squig

Well the nice part is its not a matter of building them as I have more than one man needs in varying loadouts so its an easy swap. Now finally getting around to painting 200+ grots will be the real ticket. I painted a few back when AoS first dropped but with the new book I found a better scheme I like so that will require some repainting and rebasing. Cheers

@Malakree lol my bad on the loonboss, I miss read and thought you said he was on a giant squig. You make some excellent points and I'm going to be using them as I finalize this list. I will also be checking out zarbag. With so many wizards though I'm now thinking of dropping the shootas, the more I hear about em the less I want to take them. I remember running them a year or so ago with my ironjawz as some range and feeling lackluster. @DINOSTAR oh don't worry I have a "fun" list where I take a few HQs and the rest of 2000 pts is grots...lots and lots of grots lol

Lol that is pretty similar to the list I have going. Few things though, why the boss on squig since I wouldn't be running other squigs and also why are shootas bad at scaling up past 20? I was in the idea that frequency of shots would help them get past their squig poo aim? Is Zarbag worth his tax of the random gaggle of posse in this list? I honestly have yet to ever consider him in the ideas I have been coming up with except as a generic shaman since he has a good model. Finally is 5 sniffers ok? I was worried about that and I have been doing groups of 10 so they don't get blown up. Anyhow, thanks for the tips and advice!

When building a total grot list I’m thinking a 60/60/20 spread with the 20 being shootas. If I didn’t want to add other units that would be 60’s across all three as I love em gitz but I had to cut down a little for support. Anyhow what do you guys think on that spread? Should I change it to 60/40/40? Or is that still too many grots and I should add more support?

I came up with a list very similar but replaced 1 unit of stabbas with 20 shootas, then took 2 spore fanatics and 1 loon fanatics so I could have points for another lion boss and a fungoid shaman.

So in prepping for my battletomb I started painting my grots, ran one test scheme and I think I’m sold! They still need some highlights and small details but 200 of em should look good! The only question is where in the mortal realms could red grots be plausible? I haven’t been keeping up and soon I’ll have to rebase em all to rounds.

Thanks! Yeah azyr just counts it goofy. After adding them it only counts one but shows each individual as 240

Scratch this, azyr was being goofy when I was tryin to make a list

Hey, so unfortunately due to funds I had to hold off on getting the gloomspite book but I was wondering if people think max blocks of night goblins is good for battle line and what kinda support should I give them? I have almost 300 night goblins so I can just spam the field with them but was wondering how they fair in the new book. What is good to support them? Every list I see is on the squig or troll kick so I was looking to give the foot soldiers love lol

I hate it but yeah this is probably true.

Man I’d like a named character.... maybe ya know... the brother of a certain mortarch...
