KevinC kirjoitti:The best unit in the Orc & Goblin army list – Goblin Squig herds. I’ve gone into this elsewhere but here is the deal: remember what I was saying about units that can perform multiple functions? Squig Herds excel at this.

Firstly, they can be used as elite Goblin infantry simply advancing with your battle line. WS4, S5, A2 ‘nuff said. Combined with a healthy rank bonus they can truly go toe-to-toe with nearly any unit.

Because they are Immune to Psychology they are reliable, your opponent cannot hope to just make them go away (panic, terror, etc). They are coming after you and they are not going to stop until your dead or they are. This means, they can be used to hold an entire flank nearly all by themselves they will not flee and they will kill whatever they encounter.

Squig bombs, even if your opponents kills them, they are going to blow up and cause D6 S5 hits on anything within 2D6”. This makes them an ideal suicide unit (especially combined with their new cheap point cost).

The best way to play them it to relentlessly push them into the heart of your enemy’s battle line, where they will eat through all they encounter OR they will blow up and severally damage/destroy multiple enemy units.

Also, a good way to deploy them is to place all the Goblin herders in the inside of the unit and the Squigs along the front, flanks and rear of the unit. That way, if they are flanked, etc the enemy must fight Squigs and not Goblins.

WS4, S5, A2 ‘nuff said.
