Gloomspite Gitz

Gloomspite Gitz – Creatures of the Night and Chaotic Forces of Destruction

Gloomspite Gitz is a dark and chaotic faction in the Age of Sigmar world, composed primarily of goblins (called Moonclan Grots) and other creatures of the night. These cunning and insane beings draw their power from the mysterious moon god, Bad Moon, who empowers them and drives them to wreak havoc across the lands of the Mortal Realms. The Gloomspite Gitz are known for their cunning tactics, and their armies are filled with dangerous beasts such as squigs, troggs, and other bizarre creatures.

Gloomspite Gitz History and Customs

The Gloomspite Gitz faction hails from the dark caves and underworlds of the Mortal Realms, where they live in tribes ruled by fanatical moon priests. The goblins of this faction worship the Bad Moon, which roams the skies, bringing darkness and chaos with it. When the Bad Moon shines over the Gloomspite Gitz army, their forces become even more savage and unpredictable.

The Gitz are masters of ambushes and sneak attacks. They hide in the shadows and suddenly attack their opponents, often using hordes of squigs - mad beasts that bite everything in their path. Their armies are full of strange but effective units, such as Fanatics (goblin warriors charged with fungi) and Troggoths, powerful trolls with superhuman strength.

Gloomspite Gitz Leaders and Deities

The supreme deity worshipped by the Gloomspite Gitz is the Bad Moon, a mysterious moon that they believe holds dark power. Clerics called Loonbosses and Skraggrot, known as the King of Grottoes, lead armies in Bad Moon's name. Skragrot is a key leader, a master of manipulation and strategy who successfully combines the chaos of the goblins and the mighty forces of the troggoths.

Skragrot is one of the most recognizable leaders of the Gloomspite Gitz. With his magical abilities and cunning, he leads the goblin armies and controls the fate of Bad Moon, trying to sow even greater destruction. Every move of this faction is connected to the action of Bad Moon, who illuminates the battlefield and fills his followers with power.

Gloomspite Gitz strengths and weaknesses in the game

• Strengths: The Gloomspite Gitz faction stands out for its flexibility on the battlefield. Thanks to numerous horde-based units, the army can quickly overwhelm the enemy with a huge number of units, and magical support from Loonbosses and Skraggrot additionally increases their effectiveness. Units such as squigs and troggoths are able to deal massive damage, and the unique rules of Bad Moon can turn the tide of battle, making Gloomspite Gitz a difficult faction to predict.
• Weaknesses: Although Gloomspite Gitz have large hordes of units, many of them are relatively weak in terms of durability. They are vulnerable to losses in direct combat, meaning that their strength lies primarily in numbers and quick action. Their effectiveness also depends on proper positioning and synchronization with Bad Moon's actions - without it, their potential decreases significantly.

Gloomspite Gitz in 4th Edition Age of Sigmar

After the events of Skaventide, the Gloomspite Gitz faction continues to operate in the shadows, planning further attacks. In 4th Edition Age of Sigmar, their ambush tactics and numbers have gained even greater importance on the battlefield, and Bad Moon's role as magical support has been strengthened. New units and abilities add even more tactical possibilities to this faction, making the Gloomspite Gitz a formidable opponent for anyone who underestimates them.

Why Choose the Gloomspite Gitz?

With the ability to manipulate the environment and use the Bad Moon rule, they can surprise their opponents at every stage of the battle. The Gloomspite Gitz are a great choice for players who value large hordes, magical support, and unconventional tactics that will cause chaos in the enemy's ranks.
