Alright, let’s break down this week’s big news in the world of Warhammer, particularly focusing on the wild and wacky world of the Gloomspite Gitz, and the exciting new additions coming to both Age of Sigmar and Warhammer Underworlds.
Gitmob Army Set: A New Era for the Gloomspite Gitz
First off, let’s talk about the Gitmob Army Set — a huge new release for the Gloomspite Gitz faction. Now, we’ve all seen grots lurking in the shadows, plotting chaos, but this new army set is shaking things up by bringing these mischievous little guys into the light, literally! Some of these grots have adapted to the blinding sun, turning the harsh light of the Glareface Frazzlegit into a source of magical power. That’s right, they’ve weaponized sunlight to fuel their chaotic endeavors. These little buggers don’t care if it’s day or night; they’re going to wreak havoc regardless.
Inside the Gitmob Army Set, we get some seriously cool models: Droggz da Sunchompa, the wolf-riding leader of this rabble, is at the helm. He’s flanked by two units of Snarlpack Cavalry — which, as you might guess, are speedsters on wolves. And to make things even more fun, the set includes two Sunsteala Wheelas, which are exactly as crazy as they sound. These grots are ready to roll and get up to no good across the Mortal Realms.
But wait, there’s more! Along with the models, you get the Battletome: Gloomspite Gitz, packed with lore and rules that detail how these little terrors run amok in the game. Not to mention, you get 43 warscrolls for your army, making it easier to dive right into battle without the hassle of hunting down rules. This set is like the ultimate starter pack for anyone wanting to go full throttle with the Gloomspite Gitz.
Borgit’s Beastgrabbaz: Stealthy Grots Beneath the Surface
Now, while the Gitmob Army is tearing up the open plains, Borgit’s Beastgrabbaz is a more sneaky, underground operation. These grots are the masters of stealth, operating in the dark, grim tunnels beneath Embergard. Think of them like the ninja version of the Gloomspite Gitz, trying to outsmart enemies while being as dirty and devious as possible. They’ve got Uglug the Troggoth, who’s just as shady as the rest of the crew, and some grots pretending to be a pet squig — classic sneaky grot antics!
Borgit’s Beastgrabbaz is a Flex Warband, meaning it’s all about versatility and adapting to the situation. These guys are going to get right into the mix and gang up on their enemies with some smart tactics, making them a fantastic choice for players who enjoy a more strategic, cunning playstyle.
Edge of the Knife: Rivals Deck for Risk-Taking Players
And of course, no grot army would be complete without a new playstyle deck to make things even more interesting. Enter the Edge of the Knife Rivals Deck. This deck is perfect for players who thrive on taking risks and love living on the edge. The core mechanic here is all about tempering the game, which basically means that as your warband gets stronger and bolder, you’ll be able to pull off some seriously daring moves. This deck works especially well with larger warbands, which is perfect for players who like to overwhelm their opponents with sheer numbers and reckless energy.
Conclusion
So, let me give you my take as an experienced player — this set is absolutely nuts in the best possible way. The Gitmob Army Set has all the fast and furious action you want, but with that added layer of Gloomspite Gitz unpredictability.
From the wild wolves to the sun-powered weapons, these guys are here to bring the chaos, and I can’t wait to see them wreak havoc on the tabletop. And Borgit’s Beastgrabbaz? They’re a fantastic contrast to the Gitmob’s full-throttle aggression. These grots have the potential to sneak around, create traps, and maybe even pull off some crazy tactics that leave their enemies scratching their heads. The new deck just adds fuel to the fire, making it easier for those larger warbands to play the long game with style and flair.
