[Archive] Squig Gobbla Question

thewizardofoz:

I have fallen in love with the Squig Gobbla model from Forgeworld

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer/ORCS_AND_GOBLINS/NIGHT_GOBLIN_SQUIG_GOBBA.html

There is just one thing I am not sure about. Is it a special choice or a rare choice?

I know what I think but trying to find proof.

Any help will be rewarded with slaves

Time of Madness:

It is a rare choice.

Bloodbeard:

In my campaign group he havn’t been able to find an official answer.

But every single player, goblin included, said it must be rare.

Rare is what I thought, but it doesn't actually say what it is in the rules.

Skink:

…Alternatively that would be a lovely Doom Diver in a Night Goblin army.

MadHatter:

They really should have some routines to go after when writing up rules…

Looks rare 2 me

Yodrin:

I think it’s an awesome model!!

thewizardofoz:

Hi,
Thank you for your email. The Squig Gobba is a bound monster following the bound monster rules in Storm of Magic or the Monstrous Arcanum.

If there is anything further we can do to assist you, or if you have any queries about the information we have requested or provided, please telephone us.

Regards,

Forge World
So it isn't even Rare, bum.

@ Skink: I do agree though, it is crying out to have the baby squigs replaced by a night goblin with wings. lol

Admiral:

Just make it rare. Houserule at ease. It’s a great model! Doom Diver or Rock Lobba would also work for it in tournament circles.

torn:

It looks like a fun unit for the table in any case

I would go so far and say it would be a nice Hellcannon.


Herby
In all honesty, I agree with you.

If anyone can justifiably tell me how I could field this in my Wizard of Oz Chaos Dwarf army as a Hellcannon, there will be many slaves sent over.

Problem is, I cannot think of any creature from Oz that could be passed off by a Squig

Bloodbeard:

How about Frogman?



He’s rather large. Much larger than a human. And he once was just a normal regular frog. Wouldn’t be hard to explain how he kept growing through his decident lifestyle. Paint him in a frog manner, perhaps a a very simple gentleman-ish west to him. Should be easy to make with green stuff.

I absolutely love it, how did I miss that!

I love the fact that I could greenstuff a shirt/jacket that have ripped as he has gotten so big and put loads of bones, carcasses etc around him - the dwarfs could be simply offering plates of food to him.

Have 15 slaves!! You are a genius!

Helblindi:

An Oz-themed army? Intriguing! Do you have a link to a some army pics? I’ve been searching for your army blog, but didn’t find it.

thewizardofoz:

I shall post some pics later today, I have got a blog but never kept it up to date.
