Gloomspite Gitz – Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig
D6+6" 6 5+ 5 Loonbosses are the warlords of the Moonclan skraps. Clad in crude armour pilfered from the surface races, their faces protected by grinning helms intended to make them look like ‘proppa loons’, they cut imposing figures amongst their fellow grots. Loonbosses relish a fight, and weapons they wield are laden with so many spiteful enchantments that they can carve clean through steel plate. However, they never fight fair. Ducking and weaving around their enemies, they hurl mobs of cackling grots at them to wear them down before finishing them off with a slice to the throat or a blow between the shoulder blades. The best fights, after all, are the ones conducted from behind a green wall of underlings doing most of the dirty work.
Many Loonbosses take squigs as mounts or pets and have their choice of prime specimens, among them the Giant Cave Squigs. Such bossgrots are often found at the head of a Squigalanche, and while it might be an exaggeration to say that they intentionally ‘lead’ their fellows anywhere, their force of personality is enough to draw squig-mounted greenskins to their side from miles around. | ||

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.Companion
Unless otherwise specified, attacks made by this weapon are not affected by friendly abilities that modify hit rolls, wound rolls or weapon characteristics, except for those that apply negative modifiers (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).3.1 Regiments

| When moving flying units, move them horizontally in any direction, ignoring intervening models and terrain, and place them where you wish, so long as they are allowed to end their move on that spot. Note that some units have the FLY keyword even if that unit can’t really fly. This often represents units that bounce, bound or skitter across the battlefield so adeptly that they might as well be flying! | ||
