GLOOMSPITE GITZ: Faction Focus AOS4 

Correction time! I (Ryan) got a couple things wrong in the video, so just pinning them up here to keep from spreading the sneaky Skaven-esque misinformation (hehe): - Rockgut Troggoths always had Heal (D3) in both Hero phases in 3.0. Don't know why I missed this upon multiple glances at their warscroll to check. - Squig Herd come in units with a ratio of 1 Squig Herder to 5 Squigs, or 1 in 6 total models.

Troggs have the same healing as in 3.0, however they have +1 health and a control attribute of 2. This is big because it was hard for a Trogg army to compete on Primaries when a unit of 6 counted as six for obsec. Doubling their control score is big for them to be able to compete as a Trogg only list.

Love the videos. Insightful and good vibes. Keep them coming!

As a Gitz player, I’m not too upset by these changes. We’ll have to wait and see the full context of the army and the game itself to see how bad we got slapped.

Didn't they play the same trick with Gobbapalooza last edition? Made them really good to take multible units, then gave them the the Unique keyword afterwards

Sucks to see but still playing all squigs got me into the hobby in general ( I might add some Troggs ) but in July let’s hope the rest of the stuff is good or decent

I keep hearing that GSG deserved this nerf.... at sub 45% win rate for a while now. They only needed to change the interaction with one specific thing and this army is fine - the triumph to give our herds battleshock immunity. Gitz have become very boring with these changes. I don't care about power as much. These "showcased" rules (meant to garner excitement for a new release) are extremely lackluster and boring. They did nothing to fix our battletrait (the only one in the game that can go away)... These changes are boring. Why make the army less interesting? If Sneaky Distraction was changed from "wholly within" to just within, it would be useful. As of right now as written, you have to have your squishy caster (yes even skraggy - he dies to a stiff breeze along with the rest of our units that aren't troggs) in the front line. it is quite easy to pile in with a unit and have a single model outside of the 12. I don't see where this spell will ever get used, except in niche situations. Palooza is a 15 wound madcap shaman. This unit is bad. Do not count on units getting cheaper - GW has already stated that everything is going up points wise with less models on the table. Arachnarok Spider Flinger will be our warmachine. Gitz has always been the random, risk/reward faction. High risk and randomness with big payoffs. Now you have the same(or worse) randomness, and instead of a cool or powerful effect, you just kind of get a 'meh' effect instead.
