Ty: Deep beneath the mountains in the darkest caverns roam monstrosities and horrors unknown to the realms of men. The Night Goblins do their best to avoid getting eaten by these critters. Yet, there is one breed of monster they actually seek out: Squigs.

Mostly composed of teeth, claws, and a bad attitude, Squigs are a danger to anything that breathes. In battle, they can be goaded towards the enemy and set loose to cause widespread havoc and carnage... hopefully against the enemy.

This article first appeared in Black Gobbo, the US Games Workshop e-zine, and it shows sneaky Goblin players a few ways to be even sneakier with their Squig Herds, along with a gallery of these little beasties and some simple paint techniques. The whole strategy behind a Squig unit (and most of the Orc & Goblin army, come to think of it) seems to rest on a bunch of big gambles. However, this is half the fun and charm of using this army. Every battle is different, and for no army is this more true than the Greenskins.

Squig Herds are fun to play with and a blast to paint. Even if you don't have an Orc & Goblin army, such is the Squig's allure that almost everyone has probably painted one at some point in their Warhammer career. Girlfriends and wives seem to love painting them, too! Start learning about this fungus-charged unit that takes the Warhammer rules system for a loop by selecting a destination below.
