Written by Jonathan Smith back in 1999 and appearing in Citadel Journal #31, here’s some rules for adding squigs to mobs.
Featuring hopper squigs, nasher squigs, and hound squigs, it’s pretty comprehensive. There may well be other rules for squigs out there, but here’s a classic.
Do let us know if you try them out, we’re keen to know how well they work.

In December we posted a scenario from White Dwarf 216, Hunt Da Dread, from a feature of three scenarios. Since then we’ve located a copy of WD216 and can present the second scenario from it.
Sandgulpers!
Have you ever wondered what that location was supposed to be?
Out in the desert, many miles from the Skid, there is a grim deserted region known as Gulkartslag: the vehicle graveyard. The area is littered with ancient wrecks and the bones of the dead for miles around. It is a place of immense danger, but also holds immense wealth. An Ork mob brave (or stupid) enough to risk the terrors of Gulkartslag can bring home a veritable mountain of scrap to sell to the Meks. Of course, that’s if they survive!
Random fact – at the time of writing, the location has only got one result on Google. Bizarre.
A few improvements have been made to the site over the last week or so, starting with the wall.
Each article has its own comments section, but there’s not one for the site as a whole. Well, now there is. You can reach it by clicking on “contact” up in the top left corner of the site. We’ve already had some praise from Kromlech (a scant few hours after the wall went up), why not post your two cents?
Secondly, some time has been taken to fix the many other issues with the site, such as the background to the menu not rendering. If you spot something that’s broken, post it on the wall.
Finally, the site has ditched the old mobile version, WPtouch, in favour of WPtap. The old site wasn’t overly pretty and was a pain to customise, the new one took about an hour to get up to speed.
It’s not perfect, but it’s more suitable than the old one. The code is also easier to mess about with, allowing further customisation. Eventually the site may have a dedicated mobile section for play, as in resources that players might find useful to have access to in-game.
Any suggestions for mobile-specific content are welcome and can be left as comments to this post.
If you visit the site regularly you might have read some of our battle reports, such as the recent battle we had between muties and freebootaz. The Questers of Magod are our campaign’s mutie mob who have had steady growth in both skills and killiness.
We’ve not encountered many other mutie mobs online but there’s probably some out there (comment and let us know if you have one). Regardless, we thought you might be interested in the first (and as far as we know only) mutie battle report published in White Dwarf back in July 1998, well over eleven years ago.
In this article Paul Miller’s Diggas, Da Mashers, face off against Gav Thorpe’s muties, The Brethren of Magod, in We Woz ‘Ere Furst.
We’ve had a few bioniks come up in our GoMo campaign so far, but most haven’t been painted yet. In a previous game during an intensive day of play (we managed about five games, one of which will have a battle report) one of Grimlug’s Ladz received a claw arm. Now there’s plenty of power klaw models out there, but we wanted to try out one of the new Kromlech claw arms (available from MaxMini), so a hand was dipped into the communal bitz box.
Flamekebab posted some images of his finished yoof with claw arm along with some step-by-step photos over on the MaxMini forum last night, he’s contributed to this site before and was more than happy to let us use his images:
After undercoating the arm in black, it was lightly painted with Tin Bitz (GW) (not fully painted, not quite drybrushed).
Then it was drybrushed with Gunmetal Metal (Vallejo):
The rest of the model was painted and then rust was added to the model’s metal surfaces. This was done using this method.
There you have it. Click on the images for bigger versions.
