Notes/Corrections: The keyword roadblock soup is famously strong in this book, and I dodged a lot of bullets, but: *Your only good spider hero (shaman on arachnarok) somehow can't take command traits but CAN take artefacts, silly me for thinking it was both like every other army template.

I am currently reading the Gloomspite novel, and it's impressive how these cute and weak little grots are portrayed like a horror story. The coming of the moon is heralded by birds flying backwards, gravity going nuts, and fungal zombies. It's a fun book.

@@orben-amos6172 Its because AOS was marketed at Warhammer fantasy fans, While not as numerous as 40k fans they were just as dedicated. When AOS came out it got rid of some armies and turned them into highly specialised versions, Dwarves were split into two factions, Wood elves pretty much gone, Dark elves, well only Witch elves really survived, Brettonia was completely gone., Plus end times witch lead in to AOS was sooo badly written and widely disliked. A lot of the more unique fantast armies were gone, Like Vampire counts 1 powerful hero that pretty much was your army with your units simply being meatshields,/supports for your super OP hero . If they kept Fantasy along with AOS then I doubt it would get as much hate as it does. But to the old fans AOS was the reason why Fantast ended and the stupid story writing of the End times

After debating for probably months about entering the hobby as a complete noob, what my first army would be, what I'd enjoy and how to get started, the Gitz are the ones who made me take the first step and finally buy a basic set of paints and shades. Their lore, their aesthetic and their models, with how lively and full of movement they are is just amazing. My order arrived on Wednesday and I have my first box of Grots assembled and ready to paint next week as I have a week off work. Can't wait!

@@thecandlemaker1329 Oh IDK are certainly up there in terms of best. It's unfortunate their best Sculpts are their worst on the table. I'm personally not a fan of eels and sharks Sculpts at all. IDK have this fantastical dark Atlantis, over the top kind of out their design and that probably goes too far (which I love) and then just ... Normal ass eels and sharks. Disgusting. Not even like Cerberus Sharks or Tyrannosaurus Eels. The turtle's dope though. In general I'm not a fan of fish (or bird) motiffs either but I excuse them and it's sort of a testament to IDK that I really like the fish friends. The thing holding GSG back are their old Sculpts. Everywhere they got a new one it's a home run. Then they have these clearly out of place boxy old models. Still, I like to focus on the highs of an army and convert the lows. Both hit a high water mark, pun intended, but for me the Stormcast helmet imprint and overall personality of the GSG win out over the clearly more dynamic poses and better motion of the IDK. We call the old Sculpts vs just normal ass sharks a wash... Pun again intended. ;)

@@MrMephistoMori To be honest, the new sculpts are where the gitz are really failing in my view. They're all played too safe, with very little of the bonkers creativity that characterises so many of the new AoS armies. Basically, just an update instead of a quantum leap forward. The two magnificent exceptions for me are the Fungoid and the Gobbapalooza. There are many great sculpts other than these, but these two are what I'd like the rest of the army to be like.

I think you missed a small point about the Boingrot Bounders, they have a fair bit of synergy buffs, their movement weakness can be overcome. You can get them to 2D6 + D6 Run and can still charge, & +5 extra move so average 15,5" move that can go down to 8" move or spike to 23" move and still charge, you can also if you wish turn the Run to a guaranteed 6", making it a minimum of 13", or anaverage in that case of 18" move. you can also buff them with bonus attacks from Sneaky Snufflers, it'll affect both weapon profiles, so each buff applied adds 2 attacks, add it twice and take 2D6 mortal wounds average 7, meaning 3 die from a 15man unit, but that unit of 12 left will have 8 attacks per model at 4+/2+/-1/d1 if you'd wish.

Great guide for anyone wanting to get into gloomspite. I’am an old school warhammer fantasy player, got into it back in third edition. Dwarfs and greenskins were my first armies! After they killed off fantasy I was afraid id never see greenskins/goblins updates ever again. I just sold off my 40k stuff, and decided that gloomspite gitz will be a great nostalgic project to get into. Although some of their units are not “meta” and random, it reminds me of the old school orc and goblin rules where things could either go really well, or really bad. It makes it fun to play, not just for yourself, but for your opponent! Everyone loves playing when it’s fun!!

It’s interesting how AoS armies are so much more niche and focused, but also with smaller ranges, compared to regular Warhammer. Like here we basically have Goblins only without Orcs (although I suppose you can bring Orcs through the ally system), but on their own compared to the “Orcs and Goblins” or “Greenskins” faction in Fantasy there is much less here. This may be fine for armies like this with very thematic allies, but where it concerns me is armies like what I would use if I played, the Lumineth Realmlords who thematically should be their own faction but similarly have a quite small range of units to chose from compared to Old World Highelves.

Fyreslayers have fun allegiance abilities that really let you dictate how they work and when, but their units can be a bit one-note (to be fair it's a powerful spartan note). Where gits are kind of the opposite, their allegiance abilities are random and lackluster, but their units have weird and interesting abilities and roles to play. Both have hero phase utility so that's a wash: slayers with prayers and invocations, and gits with spells and endless spells. Pick the coolest one obviously.

Nighthaunt is a mediocre army, lower ranked then Gloomspite even, (both aren't top meta armies) nighthaunt gets a bit better if played in Legion of grief instead of their own book. Most tactics of how to play gloomspite guesses you'll face top tier armies like many do play, and thus you have to use every trick in the book to win.

People use troggoth hag because they for some reason love that horrible sculpt, and the warscroll spell being strong (but super short range and hard to resolve).

Boingrot seem amazing on paper, but having played against them many times they fall into that 'playable and cool but optional' category as well.

Your loyalty has been rewarded. Their new sub faction rules in white dwarf gave them a much needed boost. Not OP or anything, but better and more fun in all ways.

What about Squig Gobba? I read that he is the only viable artillary option for the gloomspites. Is he worth the 180points? I really like him

It does about half the expected damage I would be looking for in artillery of its point range, but having a long range shooting option can put pressure on your opponent tactically. Is it worth 180 points? No, but it did go down to 160. I think it's right on the line for 'weak stats and too expensive, but worth testing anyway because sometimes a weak unit of a needed role is good enough when the rest of what you're doing is strong', especially if you like the model.

Why did you say to avoid Stormcast ? Are they actualy a bad/trap faction or was that a meme ?

Stormcast are... okay at the moment. Definitely need a new book. Fine if you're playing against friends in your garage or at a store. But they're lacking at the competitive level. Everything they do, another army can do better. Their book was one of the first of the new edition, so powercreep has hit them hard.

@HeyWoah 4 жыл бұрын
It's not even a power-level thing, as specific shootcast builds make fine counters to many strong lists. But I don't recommend stormcast to new players - it's actually just a terrible army for new players, from rules to mechanics to army creation, what to buy, how DS doesn't teach you arguably the most important skill (deployment), horrible internal balance within the book, hard to make lists for, and every year or so some new line comes out that makes the old stuff worthless and you have to keep buying another 1000 points to stay current.

True, but I wish GW gave me more to work with on that front. Their troops are really pretty solid as a baseline: decent defense, high quality rend, muti-damage attacks, etc, but those trogg heroes are just doing nothing to lift them up from their starting point. Gitz have so many buffs that all can only land on moonclan stuff - unfair imo. Your bat rep was a good illustration of that (all that excellent rend getting ignored, NH power buffs with no real trogg answers). Although really that classic NightHaunt jackpot was the crux, rolling 10s to charge right away is what NH lives for (and often dies for if they don't get it).
