Gloomspite Gitz – Sporesplatta Fanatics
2D6" 1 6+ 1 The idea behind a Fanatic is simple enough. First, a grot ‘volunteer’ is force-fed potions containing deadly Madcap Mushrooms. Though these fungi will almost certainly result in the grot’s untimely death, in the meantime, it vastly enhances their strength whilst subjecting them to wild hallucinations. The newly created Fanatic is then dosed with temporarily immobilising concoctions, so they may be carried into the fray without harming their peers, before being let loose, forcing enemies and allies alike to dive for cover.
Some Fanatics eschew iron balls in favour of Thwackwheezer Puffshrooms. When agitated, this spongy fungus emits clouds of lung-clogging spores, and being spun around at high velocity causes them to release their toxic payloads in billowing clouds that linger and drift around the battlefield. Those who wield Thwackwheezers are known as Sporesplattas, and their fumes see the mania of any nearby Gitz deepen while foes violently cough up their dissolving lungs – at least until the surprisingly weighty Puffshroom clobbers them in the face with a wet thrrrp sound. | ||

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.
