Squig go Boom

[Falaris]

In one of the quest battles, the enemy has squigs that explode - kind of like bloated corpses, only hoppier and faster. What's up with those? I don't recall seeing an option to recruit them anywhere.

They sadly aren't anywhere other than that. I'd love to see Supa Squiggs or bigger squiggs in the greenskin roster. HECK there are MANY MANY types of Squigg missing, They had hundreds of them for all different purposes.

To name a few:

Explosive Squigg
Armoured Squigg
Bouncy Squigg
Winds of Magic Squigg
Cold / Hot Squigs
Venomous Squiggs
and probably my favorite. The GIANT sized Colossal Squigg.

Skarsniks squigg 'Gobbla' was supposed to be as it is in the lore, Colossal. Atleast 3/4 times bigger than a regular squig.

We'll probably see a couple of extra squigs with the Greenskin rework/next DLC if we're lucky.

Giant Squigs sound good. Are they the ones with the howdah on the back with goblins riding on the back of it?

[RCMidas]

Those sound more like the Squiggoths of 40K, which are equivalent to the Arachnoroks. I think Fantasy squigs get night gobbo riders at best, though maybe there's a Colossal Squig variant from Forge World or something which has the howdah and all.

None of them have howdahs, as far as I can tell. You mgiht be thinking of the Arachnarox spider.

With that said, there's tons of different squigs.

The basic Cave Squig
Great Cave Squig (a squig the size of a warhorse)
Colossal Squig (a squig the size of a giant or varghulf)
Mangler Squigs (Basically two great cave squigs chained together as a sort of bola wrecking ball).
Horned, spiked, gas etc. squigs (also see Thorgrim's list a few posts up).

Skarsnik had two squigs of special mention - Gobbla and The Big Red 'Un, which was a colossal cave squig. (The source of that is the end times, so not the most reliable source).

Anyway, yeah I wouldn't object to more squiggage.

Ah I think know what you are talking about, the Soopa-Squig yes? They are not for the player, it's a special unit in one of wurzzag's quest battles.

I might have been thinking of the 40k ones, yeah. But then I found this, could this work?

I hope that we get exploder variants for pump wagons if/when they pop up with the dlc. Along with more squig goodies

I did some reasearch. That is a model for a 40k squiggoth used in a warhammer fantasy battle report in white wolf magazine. The guy making the report had converted a 40k squiggoth to a 'squigadon' - which he made up on the spot -using the rules for a stegadon or something. I believe it uses a mammoth howdah on a squiggoth base.

On a side note, while looking for that I also came across spider-legged squigs, squigpipes (squigs that can be used as bagpipes - while alive) and lots of other weird stuff.

I love warhammer. It's such a lovely mix of weird and silly with epic and grim.

Here I am, getting "Halflings are too silly to be in the game!" thrown at me, when this exists.

Considering Bloodbowl is canon in the warhammer universe, and it has halflings, I wouldn't say its too 'silly'.

Beastmen playing rugby vs Empire ? That actually exists in Fantasy Warhammer.

I have to bump this cause I'm confused, this clearly shows we're suppose to have the spell? Is there other examples of this happening where it shows a skill before you buy a hero/lord and then it's just not there? Because after I buy the goblin hero, he definitely doesn't have squigs go boom.
