Oh I see, I was mistaking snotlings for those things goblins sometimes ride.

Thanks for the answer about the models though

Those would be Squigs, or 'Squiggly Beasts.' They're a collection of various related animals, though the most common is basically a mouth on legs. Orcs and goblins use them as war beasts, and some night goblins are drug addled enough to try and ride them into battle. Most such goblins are eaten in short order, but a few survive long enough to actually get to the fight, and if someone manages to survive the battle without being bucked off and eaten they get a lot of respect from the other goblins.

Other squigs include hairy squigs, used by orcs as living wigs, giant cave squigs which can grow to prodigious size, a breed for eating which I think was just called tasty squigs, and the mighty Squiggoth, which is a four legged dinosaur sized monstrosity.

Night goblins, who mostly live underground and take lots of drugs, are the foremost users of squigs in battle in WHF, being the inventors of the Mangler Squig, two giant cave squigs chained together, poked with pointy things until they're really mad and then sent whipping each other about in the general direction of the enemy with an awkward random movement, because squigs move by hopping and having two tied together results in a very bumpy trip for both of them.

See things like these are why I don't understand why there are people who play other things than Orkos and Gobbos

Sometimes you just wanna scratch that mad vampire pirate with multiple personalities or insane ratman engineer that's trying to bring down the moon so he can mine it for warpstone itch :V

Pretty much every race in warhammer is insane to some degree, the greenskins are just more blatant.

The Empire for example has an Elector Count character who's chief advisor is his horse, and the Vampires have Konrad von Carstein who had a rule in the tabletop called 'A few bats short of a belfry' because of his detachment from reality and tendency to forget what he's doing.

Look I think we've all played CK2 or at least know about Glitterhoof okay don't try to make this sound weird /s

Youtuber embargo has been lifted. All new units public as well as a few battles

Gotta say, I’m a bit disappointed that the Flappas don’t have an ability that lets them fly for like 3 seconds. They’re just faster and they have Strider.

I suspect that there might be an engine reason for this, given how Malagor and Kemmler are land-bound.

I think flappas either deal more damage or have better melee attack than regular pump wagons, which means that basic wagons are worth it only in terms of price, given how flappas and rollas will be just better.

Loved the Rogue Idol's animations in the videos I saw though (and holy crap it has crazy low melee def to compensate for its titanic stats in everything else except speed).

[Grim Portent]

Isn't Malagor land bound because there's no aerial support for him? With nothing but harpies to pal around with he'd just get flattened by anything that shoots or flies.

Beastmen really could do with Preytons or Jabberslythes.

I still can't believe Grom is a goblin. At first I had no clue what the big deal about him being big was. Just another large orc. Then I found out he's a goblin. Wtf.

Yup. That’s his shtick. He’s just one Bog Boi Gobbo. His Imensity, His Enormity, THE IMMORTAN GROM!

Here's a video showcasing the map changes and new landmarks for the incoming update.

Apparently streamers have found out that Grimgor's Immortulz banner is now incredibly OP.

How OP? The unit with that banner cannot lose models while leadership is over 50%. Now imagine that on the Krimson Killaz

WHAT ZE FUK. Holy shit. Well... I guess it's actually really good now.

Yeah. Pairing that with how much Grimgor got buffed (I forget the specifics, but I know his mass is now big enough you need the super big kids like Kholek and Durthu to actually knock him over), the Greenskin Rework (which includes Norsca-style confederation) and the reworked Badlands and dwarf starts (pretty much all the minor dwarfs that had multiple settlements were reduced to having just one) will make Black Crag an amazing start. Truly the one and future git.
