Gloomspite Gitz – Squig Herd
D6+3" 1 6+ 1 It takes a special kind of grot to perform the near-suicidal job of squig herding. The creatures are easily agitated and liable to go berserk at the slightest provocation. The clamour of battle, jabbering of the grots and crashing of crude cymbals used by their armoured handlers to try to direct the orbicular beasts only serves to make them angrier and more unpredictable. Despite this, most Loonbosses consider the damage that Squig Herds can inflict to be worthwhile enough to factor them into their schemes. Just as importantly, the havoc they wreak is always hilarious – provided it doesn’t affect the bossgrots themselves, of course.
The life of a Squig Herder once their horde goes on the march is measured in days – sometimes even minutes. Not only do their sharp Prodders antagonise their unpredictable charges, the grots are also a tempting snack for a hungry squig in the thick of battle. Such a sacrifice is often considered justifiable by the Herder’s mates, for the prospect of dinner can lure in other wild squigs. Due to the squigs’ incredible speed and bouncing prowess, as well as their strong fangs, even just one extra beast to herd is valued much more highly than another misguided minder to prod them forth. | ||

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
