Product Information

Warshcrawla Sloggoth : As you can see by now I’ve gone very far off the original “squigs only” theme. But where the Marshcrawla is concerned it’s been absolutely worth it. Finally, an aura so big it can keep up with my army. Well most of it; even 18″ isn’t big enough to catch any units you have to send off on the flanks. But the +1 to hit has been great and it also gives me another fairly nasty monster to send in in a pinch. Speaking of Troggs, last week we looked at playing the Troggoths at 1,000 and 2,000 points. You can find those tactics posts below: A Sneaky Skrap or warband can be formed also by a particular sub-specie of grot that dwells in the deepest forests and learned to tame or appease gigantic spiders for protection or even to be used as mounts. Shootas are good options that provide a decent threat at distance in particular for warbands with low count of models that would need to pursue your units hiding over a roof on a corner of the battlefield. This article will build a 1000 point army, followed by another one that then takes what we do here and makes a 2000 point build.

Today with the contrast paints you have few really good options to speed paint your models, the video below shows how to paint a Boingrot Bounderz and the same techniques can be used across the entire model range. A personal favorite of a lot of Age of Sigmar players are the cuddly lovable Squigs. (I imagine it is only a matter of time until we get Squig plushies) A very popular model in the world that was, and a surprise army in Age of Sigmar 2017 3rd heat ( see here), they are even more deadly and fun to play in the new Gloomspite Gitz army.

After having bought all of these sweet gitz, you might feel tempted to start an army for Age of Sigmar. Madcap Destruction (Triple, Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig, all Squig Hoppers and Boingrots): A bonus move up to 12″ and if it ends next to an enemy, inflict up to 6 damage.

But how do they play on the tabletop? Let’s take a look at their fighters and abilities. Overview and Points for the Fighters in the Gloomspite Gitz WarbandThe Cave Squig is not any more what used to be. Its biggest advantage is Strength 4, putting it in a much better position to score at least a minimum hit, for the rest he has the same profile of a Sneaky Snuffler with Toughness 4 and a bit less wounds. The Loonboss is the military commander of the Moonclan Grots and as such he is an essential leader even of a Sneaky Skrap. These adorable pets are not any more a must-have in the warband, but who can resist at their charm? They are also pretty cheap. All in all, there are many ways to start your warband. Not the cheapest options (since models are from multiple different boxes) but certainly one of the coolest warbands out there.
