Games Workshop - Warhammer Age of Sigmar - Gloomspite Gitz: Squig Dice

Product Information

TheChirurgeon: The claw marks are supposed to look all edgy and feral but really they just look like something you’d see on a t-shirt right behind the words NO FEAR A particularly popular type of pet Squig is known as the Mimic. This Squig has a beak-like mouth and is vaguely parrot-like in appearance. Mimics can be seen perched on the shoulders of many an old and haggard Ork, casting expletives and insults at Greenskin passersby.

Hit ‘Em Harder- A MEGANOBZ unit gets +1 Dmg with their Power Klaws or Killsawz for a Fight Phase. Not always useful depending on targets, but being able to have greater damage on tap can help them when going after particularly hard targets, or thus with Damage reduction. As with other Ork Stratagems, not cheap at 2CP, but can make all the difference on the right targets. Deep Strike’ essentially means the unit can be placed into Reinforcements and arrive more than 9” away from enemy units. The Loonboss is the moon-headed hero to lead (and presumbaly buff) your Grot Stabbas. Proudly standing on a boss-fungus. Symbol of the moon to embody the power of the Bad Moon god and show status. The arachnarok of the Webspinner Shaman also got 2 extra wounds, upgraded its fangs to 3 damage and now has a flat, non-degrading 10” move – this is a nice change for all of the big spiders. The warscroll spell here got a little bit worse as it’s +1 to the mortal wounds done by the target unit rather than double, but remember that doubling ability is now a command trait. Yes, you can make the Scuttleboss do 6 mortal wounds for every 6 to hit. Battleline you can field a mixed army or specialise in just a Moonclan army, just a Spiderfang army or just a Troggoth army (a Troggherd)

Skragott, the Loonking

TheChirurgeon: I will be intensely disappointed if rolling these doesn’t make either a bunch of wet splurpy noises or tiny little farts as they hit the table. I say “will be” because I have never seen these in the wild and I suspect they do not really exist. All Squigs are edible, but some Squigs are specifically bred as a food source by the Orks. Gretchin are responsible for cooking the Squigs raised and tended by Snotlings, though Orks will eat raw Squig if a cook cannot be found. Syringe Squigs are primarily used for medicinal purposes. This medical Squig has natural properties which Painboyz find used in their craft of patching together battle-damaged Orks. Syringe Squigs have a long needle-sharp proboscis with which they inject venom into their prey. Syringe Squigs exude a soporific venom which makes a fine anaesthetic for Orks. the Bad Moon fills the Gloomspite Gits with lunacy, which they refer to as “Gloomspite”. When the Bad Moon waxes, wars rage Whilst all of these are separate Datasheets, they share enough in common to have a general breakdown before diving into their unique aspects. Being SPEED FREEK VEHICLES opens up a good chunk of rules interactions, though they aren’t CORE so watch out for that.

The Gloomspite Gitz are everywhere in the Mortal Realms, infesting like the fungus they use in their daily lives. Though there have been many attempts to drive them out of the Eightpoints, they continue to grow and thrive in areas where they should not. This Warhammer Age of Sigmar Warcry Gloomspite Gitz guide will teach you all about the faction and how best to play them in games of Warcry. TheChirurgeon: You can’t even read them here, in the promo image, the image designed to show them off as a product. Badsnatchers are also new and provide a buff to your moonclan wizards, letting you reroll one of your casting dice if they’re within 9” of another moonclan wizard. Rerolls to casting is nice, but the moonclan lore isn’t quite good enough to make forcing it through a requirement, and the other options for subfaction are spicy enough to compete.We’re all about squigs and magic for these army lists. That gives us lots of randomness and damage output but does make the army a little bit of a glass cannon.

This type of Squig has a large, gaping mouth and a bag-like body that is almost entirely composed of stomach. The stomach functions secondarily as a pouch that allows the Squig to survive by slowly digesting food it stores up inside its body. If the Squig is dried out, it can be made into a flask for drinks. If it is tanned like leather, it makes a useful bag or belt pouch.ANAmal.net: A fun fact about these dice is that they shatter if you hurl them at concrete. Is what I heard. From a friend. ANAmal.net: Apologies to our readers, because you’re going to see this complaint a lot, but I don’t like dice with symbols instead of pips, and I like them even less when they appear on multiple sides. Ard As Nails- -1 to Wound the Character is a great defensive buff given their already high Toughness makes most weaponry wound them on 4s or 5s anyways. The in general low Svs for Orks is slightly more palatable if you only need to take 1 or 2 of them. Applies to both melee and ranged so will always be useful. Grotsnik has this, as he’s more machine than Ork now…
