The latest reveals from the Grand Narrative Finale preview are here, featuring not only the Age of Sigmar Beasts of Chaos and Gloomspite Gitz Battletome books but also new minis, including the reimagining of Wolf Riders, now called Snarlfang Riders! Wade and Smash: allows a Dankhold Troggboss engaged to an enemy unit to move 6″ towards any other enemy unit and do impact damage (D3 mortal wounds on a 2+).

Matched play content, including four grand strategies, six battle tactics, and a core battalion representing brutish troggherds The Troggboss is a great model, but at 300 points is probably only going to be taken by people wanting to field a full or heavy Troggoth list. Roll 2 dice instead of 1 when making a brewing roll for this shroom. If the roll is odd, add the result to your concoction score as normal. If the roll is even, subtract the result from your concoction score instead. There are so many cool touches on this model, including that the moon on his staff is a mushroom and the pygmy helper squigs carrying his cloak. The pose of the model definitely apes royalty (whether of the royal family or beauty queen style). And we now have the Loonking’s warscroll – very resilient for a grot with 6 wounds and a 5+ then 4+ save.Moonclan units get Frothing Zealots for everyone’s favourite 4+ rally and Lunar Squigs still provides the excellent ability to run and charge for squigs. Spiderfang Venom upgrades the spider venom of your spiderfang units to trigger on an unmodified 5+, and Moonlit Hide is your trogg buff for +1 to save rolls. The list of artefacts of power contains some really good choices as well, like the Staff of Sneaky Stealin’ that gives a bonus of +1 to casting that increases every time the wizard successfully unbinds a spell or Loonstone Teefcaps that increases the rend of that hero’s squig mount or companion. A - "Yeah but I still kinda like them though, even though the models are old. Plus we need to keep selling the Arachnorok." The Moonclan Stabbas also get a new ability, "Anarchic Hordes," which allows them to contest objectives when there are 20 or more models in a unit if they're within 9" of the objective, not the usual 6". So thousands upon thousands of hours of different kinds of talent have gone into each of these battle or display photos. You could write a book about each of these just individually and here they are being carried off together to a level as high as its ever been.

The new Fanatics kit allows you to build five Fanatics. Standard Moonclan Fanatics have now been renamed Loonsmasha Fanatics and can be concealed inside your own units. The kit will also build “puffshroom-swinging Sporesplatta Fanatics” which shield your units from shooting with choking clouds of spores. This book offers all the knowledge and rules you need to command your own grot horde in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Discover the petty and vindictive history of the grots, learn the legends of the Bad Moon, and find out how the Era of the Beast has energised them anew. [1] SourcesThe Moonclan Grots battletome was teased at Blood and Glory, the UK’s largest Warhammer Age of Sigmar event, in the studio preview. If you’re looking to field a Gloomspite Gitz army, you’ll find the new endless spells invaluable. These summoned sorceries allow you to devastate enemies with a deluge of mortal wounds or offer key support abilities to your own forces.

Skagrott is a double caster with knowledge of the entire lore and a +1 bonus to casting and dispelling. The Fungoid Cave-Shaman and the Madcap Shaman are single casters who can cast a second spell once per game, while Zarbag is a single caster with a 50% chance to cast a second spell each turn. The Webspinner Shaman, both on foot and on Arachnarok Spider, has access to the Lore of the Spiderfang with good options like Scuttling Terrors that allows a Spiderfang unit a move in the hero phase and Curse of da Spider God that makes hit and save rolls fail on an unmodified roll of 2 in addition to the roll of 1. Normally a single caster, the one on the Arachnarok can cast twice but unbind only once and gives a +1 bonus to cast and unbind to all Spiderfand wizards in range. The Gloomspite Gitz are the combined forces of the Moonclan (Night Goblins), Spiderfang (Goblin Spider Riders) and Troggoths (Trolls), with the odd Gargant (Giant) shambling along for the ride. This army embodies the random, comical, spiteful malevolence that we all come to expect from the Moonclan and their fellow subterranean dwellers. Bad Moon is, hopefully, finally explained? The weirdest part of this FAQ is how much time is spent explaining the Bad Moon mechanic. That said, maybe this will help make it more clear and easier for players to understand.

Gloomspite Gitz

The Gloomspite Gitz Vanguard box set is like a grotty tasting platter for the main flavors of the army. It contains 34 models, consisting of:

An 11 pm preview on a Friday night here in the states (and well into the AM in the EU), what a time to be alive! New Beasts of Chaos & Gloomspite Gitz Battletome Books Revealed! The Gloomspite Gitz battletomecontains all the rules, Warscrolls, and army abilities you need to build an army of nasty little goblins and their reeking allies. Diorama photography is the primary artistic vector of the book and communication of the model as action portrait is the main way they are perceived. The proliferation of Squigbosses throughout the gloomy depths has also imposed (relative) discipline amongst the rambunctious Squig Hoppers . All your SQUIG units now have a reliable base Move characteristic – but they still have the chance to make a stupendously squiggy surge if you roll hot for that extra movement.

Squigs

Roll 2 dice instead of 1 when making a brewing roll for this shroom. For each dice that is a 1, add 2 to the volatility score instead of 1.
