Age of Sigmar Lore: Moonclan Grots (Updated)

[@voxkine9385]

Stuff like this makes me glad I didn’t write off AoS right away. Early in, it was a huge loss to lose the old world, with all of its’ lore and history and character, while the AoS wasn’t all that fleshed out and seemed lackluster. Thankfully, they’ve been fleshing out the new world and I’m enjoying it immensely!

[@ethanvallance3437]

I just hope they bring back the older factions in some way like the high elves, dark elves and the good old dwarves. I would like to see a fleshed out free guild army with new sculpts or they could just do the dogs of war again( dogs of war > freeguild)

[@danialbrett7383]

I would say the knights of the round squigs are my favourite. Nothing says crazy like a cocky gobbo

[@tarnyowl6068]

Bring me a mushery

[@LyubenV]

My favourite model is the squig herd. So much character in them, plus fun to paint and play. In terms of the entire range, I love the Loonboss. He's just so damn great, I love his helmet and pose. I love his command ability, and his extra -1 to hit, as a gameplay element it gives him a ton of character in lore which I like.

[@2Tough]

Ah yea, the Loonboss is a sweet little hero :)

[@DoomDarkness]

Personally I like the trolls model wise and lore wise I like Mollog, his lore and fluff is simple. Skaven woke him up and set his cave on fire, so after killing them he went looking for some where else to sleep and accidentally wondered into shadespire. This is like a metaphor for my life....all I want out of life is more sleep and cookies.

[@2Tough]

That moment when you identify a little too strongly with a character #same ;)

[@rayaldersea7137]

They should make suicide squigs. They would ferment them with mushrooms and chems, and create a bouncy fang filled timebomb. Good luck aiming and keeping it going towards the enemy. It's chaotic, it's insane, it fits a goblins mind.

[@dank_smirk2ndchannel200]

I love how the ranged Goblins are called "Shootas" rather than "Archers", because as we all know from Grom's campaign in TWW2 Goblins don’t shoot arrows… … They shoot rockets.

[@Jediabetus]

Boingrot Bounders man, those bois are so hyped on themselves that they even have thier squiggs believing in the hype! Also they're friggin gobby knights, what's not to love?

[@2Tough]

agreed ;)

[@felixpeters2001]

As a long time Night Goblin fan I love every single thing about this expansion! I never got into fantasy battles as a table top war game but I ate up all the lore that I would come across and ever since I first read about the conniving sneaks living under the mountains I new which faction I would be repping whenever possible. They were the first army that I got in AoS and I am so glad that they are finally getting updated for the new setting! I think I speak for everyone here when I say WAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

[@2Tough]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@callumn2111]

Ah Moonclan Grots (Night gobbos) were my first army. Keep up the great work!

[@2Tough]

That's great, and thank you :)

[@bakermitchell6209]

Just got into AoS in January (thanks to a Learn to Paint Kit)....Immediately got the Gloomspite Gitz Start Collection box to paint some more models. As much as I've enjoyed the models and painting them......they haven't come alive, until I stumbled upon your Lore videos. The manner in which you present the Lore, is clear, organized, and useful. It paints a complete picture of the faction and really brings it to life. Also, I appreciate your "clean" language. My son has also really gotten into AoS lore (he's reading the young readers books from Black Library) and I don't worry about inappropiate language or such. While I don't mind adult language in podcasts or videos, it is great to have a top notch resource I can share with him!

[@josephskiles]

I really wish they hadn't killed off Skarsnik, he was insanely awesome, the Loonking is cool and all ( love the sculpt of him) he just will never be as awesome as the greatest warlord of all time!

[@thashadowspawn]

I was looking forward to the video brother. Good times!

[@TheBaronVSP]

They knocked it out of the park with all the new kits, I can't pick a favorite because they're all fantastic.

[@2Tough]

Solid answer :)

[@rocktherock1478]

My favourite is the manglersquig/fanatics. They are both this concept of a suicide wreckingball witch i just cant get enough of!

[@stopmotiongarage220]

I love your lore videos, they really fire up the imagination for what to do with any given faction!

[@2Tough]

Aw thank you!! :)

[@yankee1112]

Love these videos man, they really are informative and entertaining. Your passion for the AoS subject matter shows through every time. I may pick up a Gloomspite battletome, they sound fun!

[@2Tough]

Well thank you so much for the kind words :) 😍😍

[@TinyDiodes]

These lore (battletome review) videos are the reason I subscribed and helped me really get INTO the world. Some factions, I didn't care for their aesthetic until after knowing the story of WHY.

[@2Tough]

Well that's super kind of you to say!

[@Lion3doll]

I love the squigs. No plan on getting them for a army but the squigs just look like to much fun to paint

[@Spam387]

Really appreciate your videos. Got back into war gaming through mordheim vids on KZbin and couldn’t resist some of the gitz because the models are so good. May get into AoD just so I can buy and paint more :)

[@pacecory1]

This was my first army in AOS and still my favorite. XD

[@2Tough]

Cause you're a legend!

[@BaileyBecca]

I’m just glad to see lore slowly but surly flushing out the mortal realms hopefully it’ll become as filled as the old world

[@chengyuenfai]

my first and current army is the Moonclan Grots, just started AoS 6 months ago. And the ever first model that caught my eyes were the Noisemaker in Squig Herders, they just looked wacky... those cymbals & bagpipes musician Grots must be playing military music to march the Squigs to battle~!

[@2Tough]

Well you jumped in at the prime moment!

[@chengyuenfai]

@@2Tough Yes indeed~!

[@garinevans8369]

I love the squigs most of the all the one with a grot in it's mouth lore wise the fanatics stick out to me the most.

[@2Tough]

Solid choice :)

[@fumarc4501]

Are there any Scutterlings outside of Silver Towers?

[@rasmusjuul3132]

Squigs! They remind me of Tamurkhans Plague toads so much !! But ofc we, again see a faction leaning on the wiasom of the maggot Lord himself!

[@2Tough]

ya know, they are pretty similar haha!

[@Failerist]

Awesome lore vid man, thanks a bunch

[@2Tough]

My pleasure, thank you for watching!!!

[@statengaming4468]

0:32 that squig looks like a shark

[@Sarah-no7lv]

Emperor Thrawn it has teeth, yes.

[@JamesTillmanjimthegray]

really considering the squig xmas box thanks to these lore vids on them :)

[@chengyuenfai]

Moonclan Grots, yes~!

[@hughgedney3393]

Wait are these are the night goblins of former fantasy? Cool and they are coming!!! And great late video Doug, also i think goblins like the Skaven have more numbers then of the numbers of the middle earth's orcs haved.

[@patricklinder4493]

Great work! I just found your channel, really interesting videos! I’m kind of new to the warhammer world so this helps a lot! Thanks!

[@chaosrex1487]

Mangler Squigs for damn sure.

[@thelonelybolter8245]

Gloomspite Gitz have truffle pig squigs!!?? Of course they do! thanks for that ;)

[@rickardwiklund5239]

awsome really enjoyed this, like the mangler squig alot

[@2Tough]

Right? There's just nothing about him that isnt cool as heck

[@rafaelrios7984]

Great vid! Keep em comin!

[@2Tough]

Will do, just because you asked ;)

[@koujow]

Rockgut Troggoths! I saw the models and I was smitten.

[@2Tough]

Thats super fair!!

[@mrmct7287]

Another excellent vid even though read the book myself, looking forward to more lore on the Grotbag Scuttlers

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

Another great lore video!

[@2Tough]

Thank you!!

[@theemporerofmankind938]

This is one of the few armys that I could just bring over my army from fantasy battles

[@2Tough]

totally. I think Seraphon, Pestilens, Beasts of Chaos and Gloomspite are really the only ones to be that fluid (unless Im forgetting another one)

[@theemporerofmankind938]

Maybe lizard men aswelll

[@BUSSTISEBOOST]

The Emporer of Mankind that’s Seraphon

[@theemporerofmankind938]

Sorry used to fantasy battles

[@ThatElephantSeal]

@@2Tough Legions of Nagash also

[@TheAshHeritor]

Gotta love the Gobbapalooza.

yea dude ;)

[@Dar2Jee]

I have no idea why you have so few likes/Abos... i mean this one of the most competent Lore Channels that exist....

[@2Tough]

Aw well thank you!

[@magnos_decimus]

Nets in warfare in general would not actually work in reality. Gladiators got away with it because that was for show. But as long as the Greenskins (in general) Believe something will work it will work and so the netters will find there mark and trap there enemies and that is the best way to understand why the netters are very effective and goes aqlong with everything else in their armies

[@lamaze2295]

squig knights for the win lol

[@2Tough]

totes :)

[@deliciousrelish]

Gitz is dumb. Gitz is great.

[@2Tough]

This is the way

SKULKmob not skullmob. We're not korn!

[@2Tough]

d'oh!

[@felixgotrek1]

The spider fang grots don't fit that book at all. I don't know what gw was thinking. They could have so easily put the spider fang grots with the savage orcs. They fit in more aesthetically and the bonesplitterz and the spider fang grots both have a very small model range. They would have gone perfectly together with a little fluff tweaking. The night goblins already had tons of great fluff and units. The trolls go really well with them. Why did they shoehorn the spider fangs into that book?

[@2Tough]

maybe the design studio didnt see it as a viable army of its own? Not sure, but we have to remember they know whats coming out over the next 3 years, so Im sure there is a reason. Personally, I like the in there. The grot ties are strong enough that I think they have a place.

[@mogwaiman6048]

I think the spiderfang match the bonesplitterz better than they do the moonclan.
