Fully agree with all of this Kenshin620, although i think the Gloomspite Battletome have quite a few useful and affordable battalions.
I'd quite like a campaign book similar to that of the new Vigilus 40K book that contains new battalions for armies, would love to see some new ones for Khorne, Ironjawz etc, just to give them more variety and perhaps the opportunity to catch up to armies that are considered more "powerful"

What size base do Madcap shamans go on?

That looks quite scary haha! I think thats the way to go with mixed Gloomspite builds. 30 Boingrots will mess people up! And that brick of 60 gobbos will be hard to chew through. What has the Troggboss fought so far?
Do you find the spears more worth will than the stabbas? I can never seem to roll 5s to save my life! 3s and 4s im good with 🤣
Troggboss so far has killed a Great unclean one with support from unit of boingrots, he killed 2 Bloodthirsters one game with help from a unit of rockguts, he's severely crippled multiple stormcast units, I've still yet to see what he can do against beasts like Nagash or Archaon but if he can get to them in good condition I think he could lay the hurt!
I find spears better in 60s, 40s I debate between stabbas and spears and 20 definitely stabbas, they honestly exist as a resilient tarpit and bodies for objectives really but they do manage to chip some wounds off stuff which is all they're really for

Now I didnt say he was useless 😂😉 and i agree that he has strengths and weaknesses that suit his class type. I just disagree that he has the defacto label of being the most durable which is a contextual subject. I view them all as durable but each one does it in there own way. Do you want a slow waddling brute with his all his mates having the times of there lives, do you want a speedy cannonball with his buddies bouncing up the field, etc. It all depends on what you list aims to do.
What was your list? Would be interesting to see it.
Yeah maybe put words in your mouth with useless there haha! I just think that extra magic defence is just too nice really, but I definitely see manglers being very good too, yet to use one mind.
Sure this is the list:

We could debate this all night and i fully respect your views on the Dankhold Troggboss, but me and many others in my gaming group see him as a weaker hero as a whole when viewing our options in context. He simply doesnt affect the battlefield in ways that the others do, he isnt much of a force multiplier, he isnt the most punchy of heroes.
I don't agree that he doesn't affect the battlefield personally, my experiences of the big boss have all been positive so far, my list basically consists of him as a general so my 2 units of 3 rockguts become battleline, they all chill in a group with a big 60 unit of stabbas for protection, while they make their way up the board, the 3 units of 10 boingrots in the battalion are doing work disrupting the enemy lines (Taking out small annoying units and sniping heroes where possible) while this is happening the anvil of the list makes its way up the board usually pretty untouched as the distraction of the dangerous boingrots need to be dealt with. Once they arrive your enemy is weakened and you boss and rockguts can go to town.
I think the Troggboss is far from useless when you build a list to accommodate his strengths and weaknesses, he may not be as damaging as others such as the loon boss on Mangler but he sure is more durable, especially in a heavy magic meta with Death dominating, he offers a slight defensive edge while also offering a threat for the opponent. I also get to make my troggoths battline meaning I don't have to waste points on filler batteline units

Weapon of choice on the Stabbas?
Stabbas for 20, I'd say probably stabbas for 40 but this is very debatable, Spears for 60

What base size do Loonbosses on cave squigs use?

I'm having difficulty determining that. 3x10, 2x15, 1x15, or 3x5 are the different variations I bounce between. Essentially 300 or 600 points. Less feels weak, more feels wasteful. Finding the ideal unit size in general and within those parameters is really hard
Yeah definitely feel that, I’m thinking 2 x 15 with a unit of 10 hoppers in the battalion or 3x10 Bounderz in the battalion

Boingrot Bounderz were mvp. Zipped around the battlefield and threatened to carry the game. That was using only three units of 5, so can definitely push them further.
What unit size do you think would be suitable for them now then?
-
What weapon works better on a 60 man stabba unit? I feel like stabbas May be slightly better if you position your grots correctly as you have a line of stabbas then the nets behind since they’re 2 inches?

Hey guys, while not strictly a Troggoth list, decided to dabble in them bit in this list, just wondering whether I've invested enough into Troggoths to make the Boss worthwhile to get the two units battleline?
Edit: unsure whether the army would work better going heavier down the Troggoth route

Two choices on how to build a Gloomspite army.
- Get a bunch of Grots, start adding stuff onto the grots till you find something you like then go with that.
- Pick a theme and build around the theme, then get some grots and add them on till you can hit option 1 for the others.
Seriously 60 Stabbas, other than that imo everything is usable. The 60 stabbas are the core of the Gloomspite force.
Do you think always taking a fungoid cave-shaman is a good tactic? Provides a bit of protection against magic, nets an extra command point half the time which seems important for an army like this and can take a beneficial spell for other units
-
so much list building, struggling to get my head around what to buy/use, I feel that there are a lot of solid directions you can go with this army. Struggling between whether to go loads of stabbas supported by heroes and some troggoths or to go mostly pure squigs
-
Is the command ability on loonbods mangler worth the extra 60 points if going very squig heavy? Does it make a significant difference in damage?
-
so here is my first 2k list would love some thoughts!
Loonboss on Mangler - 300 - Clammy Cowl
Loonboss on cave squig 110 - general - Cunning Plans + Spiteful prodder
Fungoid Cave Shaman - 90 - Squig Lure
Squig Hoppers x 20 - 360
squig herd x 12 - 140
Stabbas x 40 -260
Boingrot Bounderz x 15 - 300
Boingrot Bounderz x 15 - 300
Squig Rider Stampede - 140

Stabbas. Really that's it.one big unit of stabbas is really hard to pass up. Everything else seems to have a place depending on how you build your army.
Cant argue with that, think anyone would be crazy not to take one big solid 60 strong unit, they offer so much, I really think Boingrot Bounderz played the right way are going to be a really interesting unit competitively
-
So what units do you guys predict to be the units that everybody takes (In a competitive sense) for this army?

Hi all, returning to Nurgle, what is in the meta currently regarding Nurgle?

What unit size do people prefer to run Plague Monks in Maggotkin here?
