Regular Goblins are called Squig Herders and act as Thralls for the Squigs with Bloodlust. Before the rule update for Pile On some of those Squigs featured Pile On instead of Claw. The Squig Hoppers appear also in the separate Night Goblin teams in the same division. A closer look at this roster with a rationale by their creator can be found here

Troggs have the Glowy Howzit , a mighty 4+ ward artefact that gets turned off if you roll a 1 after taking damage that isn’t negated, and the Pet Gribbly which gives +1 wound and then +1 to hit and wound if you roll a 1 after taking damage that isn’t negated. Still not enough? Troggbosses recover an eye-watering D6 wounds – and Glogg’s Megamob have it even better… Few creatures are held in such high esteem by grots as the humble squig. They defy reason – orblike bundles of teeth with stomachs that continue to confound top zoologists. How do they eat so much? Where does it all go? How do they bounce so high? Do they have any non-gastric organs at all?

In accordance to older canon, savants of the Inquisition's Ordo Xenos once held that Squigs were bred by the lost Ork caste the Greenskins refer to as the Brain Boyz, who were actually most likely the Old Ones, the ancient reptilian intelligent species that dominated the Milky Way Galaxy millions of years ago and may have created the Orks' ancestors, the Krorks, to serve as a "biological weapon" to defeat their enemies the C'tan. However, Squigs were originally introduced as a Tyranid unit said to have been derived by the Tyranids from Ork DNA. It is now a generally accepted fact that the Squigs were the result of the Tyranids' manipulation of Orkoid genetic material. The Orks discovered the first Squigs aboard a Tyranid bio-ship and subconsciously recognised them as being "Orky", subsequently taking the little creatures home with them. Squigs then spread throughout Ork space. This reality explains how Squigs have appeared in both the Ork and Tyranid armies. Since then, Tyranid Squigs have been recognised as the Tyranid sub-species that are now known to the Imperium as Rippers. Regardless of their origins, Squigs are a truly vital part of Ork culture.

Boingrot Bounderz are Squig Hoppers that survive their usual battle or two before being devoured by their mount, run through by an enemy or killed in an accident. [1] All Squigs are edible, but some Squigs are specifically bred as a food source by the Orks. Gretchin are responsible for cooking the Squigs raised and tended by Snotlings, though Orks will eat raw Squig if a cook cannot be found. The name speaks for itself. These Squigs are known to be among the most revolting and panic-producing organisms in the galaxy.An Eating Squig is a limbless blob used as the primary Ork food source. It resembles an elongated, squarish slug with two eyes and a small pug mouth between its two eyes. The Grots box lets you build 1 Moonclan Boss, 3 Netters and any combination of Shootas, Stabbas, and Pokin Spears. We built a Moonclan boss, 1 Standard Bearer (in case we want to use them in Age of Sigmar), 3 Netters and then 5 Shootas, 5 Stabbas and 5 Stabbas with Pokin Spears. This gives a huge amount of flexibility to our warband construction. Four, including the now ubiquitous ‘have ever battle tactic you complete be from your faction list’. Protect da Shrine! Could potentially see some use, requiring you to have no enemy models within 12” of the Loonshrine at the end of the game, and for it to have not been smashed to rubble. Superior Spell-flinger has a Tzeentchy flair and asks you to have two of the Gitz endless spells on the battlefield when the game ends. You don’t have as much control of that as you might like, but the Scuttletide at least can be quite difficult to dispel. And some TT coaches might simply replace their Goblin positionals with Squig models (a jumping model for the Pogoer, any model for the Chainsaw or Fanatic, a puking Squig as a Bomma and with some creativity you also find models that fit the attributes of the Ooligan and Doom Diver), wouldn't it make sense if a Blood Bowl ref counts such monsters as Secret Weapons?

Thankfully, the Squigboss knows it all. This expert grot’s acute understanding of squiggly physiology is unparalleled, and he’s agreed to help us catalogue some of many squigs of the Mortal Realms.

Gloomspite Gitz General Tactics

The Juicy Squig is a very rare and delicious type of Eating Squig that may perhaps be the only known Ork delicacy. This Squig lives at the very bottom of an Ork fungal drop, and are not only rare, but difficult to find and bring up from the depths. Since these Squigs are seldom caught by the Gretchin and Snotlings, they often grow quite large and become even tastier as they get older. If you’re looking to field a Gloomspite Gitz army, you’ll find the new endless spells invaluable. These summoned sorceries allow you to devastate enemies with a deluge of mortal wounds or offer key support abilities to your own forces. There are a lot of artefacts to get through here as they’re more split up by keyword, so these are just a selection of the more interesting ones.
