TAG     : Warhammer Age Of Sigma Gloomspite Gitz Squig Heard
GAME : Age Of Sigma


Squigs are bizarre, mushroom-like creatures that come in various forms, each with its own unique characteristics. They are often described as bouncing, ravenous beasts that can range from small, playful Squiglets to massive, terrifying Squig Hoppers. Their unpredictable behavior makes them both a source of amusement and a significant threat in combat.

The Role of Squig Herds

In the lore of the Gloomspite Gitz, Squig Herds are typically led by a group of goblins known as the Squig Herders. These goblins have a unique bond with their Squigs, often using them as mounts or weapons in battle. The Herders are responsible for keeping the Squigs in line, though this is no easy task, as the creatures are known for their erratic behavior.

Key Features of Squig Herds:

Mobility: Squig Herds are incredibly fast and can cover ground quickly, making them excellent for flanking maneuvers.

Psychological Warfare: The sheer unpredictability of Squigs can instill fear in the enemy, disrupting their formations and strategies.

Variety of Squigs: Different types of Squigs offer various tactical advantages, from the explosive damage of Bomb Squigs to the resilience of Cave Squigs.

Gameplay Mechanics

In Age of Sigmar, Squig Herds can be a dynamic addition to any Gloomspite Gitz army. Here are some gameplay mechanics to consider:

Unit Composition: A typical Squig Herd might include a mix of different Squig types, allowing for versatile strategies.

Synergy with Other Units: Squig Herds work well with other Gloomspite Gitz units, such as the Moonclan Grots and the various characters that can enhance their abilities.

Special Abilities: Many Squig units have unique abilities that can turn the tide of battle, such as the ability to charge into combat and deal significant damage.

Painting and Modeling Tips

When it comes to painting your Squig Herd, consider the following tips to bring these vibrant creatures to life:

Color Palette: Use bright, bold colors to reflect the whimsical nature of the Gloomspite Gitz. Greens, purples, and pinks can create a striking contrast.

Textures: Experiment with different textures to highlight the unique features of each Squig type. Glossy finishes can mimic the wet, slimy appearance of some Squigs.

Basing: Incorporate elements of the Gloomspite environment, such as mushrooms and rocks, to create a cohesive look for your army.
