What’s that unnaturally bright and baleful ball of brilliance hanging in the sky, hurting our eyes and making a fool of that big, beautiful moon we all love so much? Why it’s the Glareface Frazzlegit, and racing after it are the raucous rabble known as the Gitmob. The latest addition to the ranks of Gloomspite Gitz are getting ready to throw the Mortal Realms into disarray with their second wave of releases.
Battletome: Gloomspite Gitz
Wherever the Bad Moon careens around the Mortal Realms, it is followed by the Gloomspite Gitz, fevered, cunning and craven little creatures who wreak havoc upon all in their path. With Battletome: Gloomspite Gitz these mad-capped mildewed maniacs are joined by the Gitmobs, wolf-riding grots who have a bone to pick with the radiant Glareface Frazzlegit. This new book collects rules and warscrolls for the Gloomspite Gitz with background, Battle Traits, Battle Formations, Heroic Traits, Artefacts of Power, plus Spell and Manifestation Lores.
It also contains rules for a Gitmob-focused Spearhead, two Armies of Renown – one headed up by Droggz da Sunchompa and the other by Skragrott the Loonking, as well was Regiments of Renown, Path to Glory rules and an Anvil of Apotheosis for forging your own deeply cunnin’ git.
Battletome: Gloomspite Gitz (Gamer’s Edition)
Get all that juicy content in a more portable package with the Gamer’s Edition of Battletome: Gloomspite Gitz, featuring all of the same material in a smaller format. It comes with a full set of reference cards.
Droggz da Sunchompa
There are many fierce leaders in the Gitmobs, but none are as dominant as Droggz da Sunchompa. This corpulent grot rides into battle atop Jaggedsnarl, a wizened Snarlfang who has outlived many masters over his long life. They are framed by the radiant sunmetal banner known as Da Frazzlefangz which blinds his enemies with flashes of light, leaving him able to cave heads in with the Da Metal Toof, a war-pick made from a chunk of meteor.
Snarlboss and Wolfgit Retinue
Snarlbosses are bold enough to have captured an Alpha Snarlfang as their mount. They lead the Gitmobs into battle with handpicked Wolfgit Retinues, who harry flanks with keenly aimed arrows.
Snarlboss on War-Wheela
The Gitmob hordes rattle into battle in chariots emblazoned with the visage of the Glareface Frazzlegit. Snarlbosses ride the most ostentatious of these chariots, which are known as War-Wheelas, getting an extra risky burst of speed when the crew ignites jars of loondust. This plastic kit can also be built as a Frazzlegit Shaman on War-wheela, a gibbering shaman who summons scorching magic from atop a totem.
Sunsteala Wheelas
Built from lightweight wicker frames and equipped with gruesome curved slicers, Sunsteala Wheelas are a rapid method of conveyance for the Gitmob grots. This plastic kit builds two Sunsteala Wheelas that can be customised with all manner of grots and gubbins.
Snarlpack Cavalry
Giant Snalrfangs are so big that they can be ridden into battle by two grots armed with skewas m infused with the power of Hysh. As long as the riders can convince these ornery beasts they are in charge, they can continue to tear through enemy ranks with reckless abandon. This plastic kit makes three Snarlfang Cavalry with interchangeable heads.
Doom Diver Catapult
Only grots could have the misplaced confidence to wear wings, stick an explosive helmet to their heads, and get flung through the sky to perform long-range ordnance strikes. Most pilots are too concerned about the kicking they’ll get from their boss to think about what will happen after their brief trip through the air comes to an abrupt and zterminal halt.
Gloomspite Gitz Dice Set
Receive the benediction of the Bad Moon with this set of 16 Gloomspite Gitz dice. They are coloured yellow with black ink, and featuring the visage of the Bad Moon on the six face.
White Dwarf 510
Issue 510 of White Dwarf is on its way, and the focus of this issue is firmly on the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game™ – which has just entered a brand new edition. There’s a battle report, an analysis of the new edition, and an in-depth look at the new miniatures that come with The War of the Rohirrim™ – Battle of Edoras™ boxed set.
For Warhammer 40,000 there’s the first part of a deep dive into the design of the Aeldari, accompanied by a Combat Patrol for the Harlequins, and an exciting new way to play Aspects of War, which is supported by a set of 10 new stratagem cards.
The Orruk Warclans are the focus of this month’s Age of Sigmar content with a new Flashpoint article and Army of Renown. On top of that there’s pages of great Warhammer hobby articles, and the final part of the Tatters of Hope serial by William Crowe, and a brief look at how one Black LIbrary editor made the characters from existing minis.*
Callis & Toll
Life in the Cinderfall district of Hammerhal Aqsha is rough – crime is rife and death comes quickly, but even here the ritualistic murder of a powerful ganglord is enough to raise more than a few eyebrows, and soon Hanniver Toll and Armand Callis are dispatched by the Order of Azyr to investigate this strange death. Reaching the heart of this mystery will be a stiff challenge for this daring pair, and you can find out how they get on in Callis & Toll by David Annandale, which is available to pre-order in paperback next week.
This week on Warhammer TV there’s a new animation and a new show. Series two of Blacktalon has Sigmar’s greatest hunter and her companions face a nefarious plot underway within the grand city of Hammerhal.
On Trazyn’s Tesseract Trials meanwhile, two contestants are tasked with overcoming a series of fiendish challenges. Josh has picked the Space Marines and Simon has sided with the Emperor’s Children – taking on a series of hobby conundrums. Then there’s an episode of Loremasters on the Empire of Man in the Old World, while Citadel Colour Masterclass will be teaching you how to paint miniatures in the style of the Angels of Death animation.
Next week on Warhammer Community we will have reveals from the Horus Heresy and the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game™, plus the Black Library Book of the Year results, and plenty more to enjoy as you wait for the Gitmob to lope and roll into pre-order.
