Gloomspite Gitz – Mangler Squigs
D6+8" 14 5+ 5 The most bossy and impressive grots are the ones that rise to the top of the pile, and it is for this reason that some seek out the biggest squigs to cause carnage with. For particularly brave and idiotic grots, there is always the prospect of lashing two huge Cave Squigs together to form the living wrecking balls known as Manglers. Pushing and pulling against one another constantly as their riders desperately try to point them in the right direction, these conjoined titans can lay waste to entire sections of a battleline – though whether it belongs to the enemy or their own forces hardly concerns the squigs.
Fortress gates, gleaming phalanxes and monolithic engines of war have all been smashed asunder by the fury of Mangler Squigs or else chewed up beyond recognition by their outsize, drooling maws. Even in their death throes, Manglers enter a pea-brained frenzy, bouncing around in a last explosion of horrific brutality before finally rolling to a stop amidst the broken remains of their slayers. The chains that hold them together are also weapons in their own right, shredding through warriors unlucky enough to get tangled up in them. | ||

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’).7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.
A model is considered to be in combat with an enemy unit if that unit is within the model’s combat range and visible to it’

15.4 Flying
Units with the FLY keyword have the following passive ability:| Passive |
FLY: Soaring above the battlefield, this unit can reach destinations that are inaccessible to other troops.
Effect: As this unit moves, it ignores other models, terrain features and the combat ranges of enemy units. It cannot end its move in combat unless specified in the ability that allowed it to move. Ignore any vertical distance moved for this unit.
| 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! | ||
